GOG is a digital distribution platform launched by CD Projekt in 2008 that sells older PC games that are made compatible with newer versions of Windows.
This is done by games being pre-patched or bundled with Open Source emulation and compatibility software (eg. ScummVM or DOSBox). No DRM is included, extra material is often included with games (such as soundtracks and manuals) and full customer support is available. Promotions are also regularly organised.
Free Games
While the vast majority of the available games on GOG is made for the reasonable prices of $5.99US and $9.99US, as well as having weekend bundle sales, GOG has a small but reasonable amount of games that are available for free.
