Game seller GOG has announced they are increasing efforts to keep old games playable on modern machines. Announced earlier in the week, the online storefront, which is owned by CD Projekt, the initiative has nearly 100 classic games seeing a re-release with full compatibility on modern hardware.

Games that have been given this special treatment from GOG will be branded with a special "Preserved Good Old Game" stamp on the store page. You can also see its preservation log and what the platform -- because they are the ones making it run -- has done to make the game run on modern hardware. 

Currently, the movement has seen around 100 games preserved under its effort. Full list below.

This move isn't too surprising for GOG to pull off; the big selling point of the seller is being a sort of hub for older, DRM-free games. Some of the biggest legacy titles can be found on the storefront, some of which have even left Steam or never got a release there. They're even becoming a more viable solution to release games on, legacy platformer, Croc, by Arrgonaut Games, for example, is heading to PC exclusively to GOG.
