True, I wouldn't consider it preservation. But speaking purely as a gamer, it's still a decent place for a king's quest fix!<br>

Man, no, not Steam, not for us preservationists! might as well suggest EA's download service, hoho...<br>
<br>
I've got to seriously suggest we do a paper or some research on the use of online DRM and DRM in general and how it basically makes our jobs impossible. :D I was going to do a basic post/wiki page on it, but finding actual concrete information on what DRM is applied, company policy and so forth is nearly impossible - all the news is bloody vague, a nightmare for research on a topic no company wants to literally come out with "WE OWN THE RIGHT TO STOP YOU USING OUR STUFF IMMEDIATELY". I perhaps will suggest this as a project to investigate - and go out journalistic-ly with this SIG's backing to get some information on all the DRM currently used. :)<br>
<br>
Good Old Games I featured on our news feed when it opened last year, by the way :) I've not had the chance to buy anything from it (I have tons of games left to play), but they are DRM free, which is awesome! I agree prices can be a bit heavy sometimes, but it looks like it'll be a good resource if it hangs around (and if it doesn't, anything you have downloaded won't magically go poof :) ).<br>
<br>
BTW, if no one knows about it (and I'm trying to contact them, but man is it slow), Liberated Games still has a catalogue of free games: <a href="http://liberatedgames.org/" target="_blank">http://liberatedgames.org/</a><br>

My friend just sent me this website that sells classic PC games for low<br>
prices. I'm not sure how this relates to preservation, but it's great to see<br>
a lot of the old titles still available. (Personally, I think some of the<br>
prices should be lower though...)<br>
