This should've been on GOG on day 1 - it's one of the quirkiest, most interesting takes on platforming from that time but still plays like a charm to this day. Let's bring it home :)

It's an important game. As with many others, I learned of Fez from Indie Game: the movie, which was promoted on certain online channels. Without thinking much of it, I explored further into the domain, watched it, and fell in love with the power and imagination of indie titles. After playing the game, I can say that it really stands out as a unique title that deserves the attention it garners. From the sprites, the sound, the story; Fez is a unique achievement not only for an indie game, but for video games as a medium.

Fez. Ah, Fez. Possibly the progenitor of the Clever Indie Game, where it does things to get into your mind, or plays clever tricks to reveal a deeper depth. At first blush, it appears to be a simple 2D platformer where death is but a minor inconvenience. Then the hypercube arrives. Now yes, at times Fez could be completely full of itself. Some of the puzzles are very much so "think like the developer." Yes, the developers themselves were a bit unprepared for the reception of some of the things they said. Ultimately, it's trifling and silly compared to what has since transpired. I can only hope that one day, Fez ][ does actually happen. But in the meantime, what a nice void to explore, eh?

Please bring back Fez to GOG! It's one of the crown jewels of indie gaming. I really loved the expansion of the game world (higher dimensions, learning the language, the puzzles). Everyone should get to experience this game, and it deserves to be on the Preservation Program! Do not forget to include the epic, amazing soundtrack by Disasterpeace.
I'm confused. Why has this been removed from GoG? I still have it in my Library from back when it was on GoG, but obviously it doesn't show in the shop anymore. I imagine it doesn't get updated if not being sold on the store?
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
