Bringing Back the Best in Gaming
RetroMator 4000 is GOG.com's bid to bring classic gaming back to life like never before! If you long for the days of floppy disks or if you wish you could hear the "bleep-bloop" of a PC speaker trying to tootle dramatic music at you, the RetroMator 4000 is just what you've been looking for. GOG.com's genius development team has written a full library that takes the best of old gaming and replaces the annoying parts of new games to help you better enjoy your gaming experience.

Fully Automatic

With drag and drop simplicity, the RetroMator 4000 brings ease of use to modern "old school" gaming in true GOG.com fashion.

Fully Compatible

Use the RetroMator 4000 to "right-size" the game's system requirements and play to your heart's content!

Fully Retro Fun!

Graphics! Sounds! EMS Memory Management! The RetroMator 4000 is sure to show you how to play games like it's 1989!

RetroMator 4000 coming soon FREE for your PC & Mac
Version 0.97a (our first public release) of RetroMator 4000 will have the options to:

* Scale your graphics back to SVGA, VGA, or even EGA, with color depths as low as 16 colors!
* Bring back the old-school user interfaces: each genre comes with its own selectable UI inspired by the classics.
* Remove all graphics completely and play your favorite game as a text-only adventure in a variety of text parser styles.
* Get rid of all QTEs from games, replacing them with traditional boss battles or incomprehensible timed puzzles!
* Eliminate the regenerating health/shields and limited weapon inventories from shooters. Add back in the other 8 gun slots that Carmack intended!

* Add context for your actions back into the game via neural branching storylines thanks to the random story generator.
* Add an EMS & XMS memory management minigame. Also has optional IRQ conflicts module and autoexec.bat options.
* Break games up into virtual disks. Relive the joy of floppy switching via drag & drop!
* UNDER DEVELOPMENT: RetroMator 4000 will soon also have features that let you create your own shareware versions of games (extracts ~3 hours of gameplay, adds in nag screens) and converts games into side-scrolling platformers.

They might not make them like they used to, but with the RetroMator 4000, you can fix that!

Hehe, that was fun.

But GOG, please, never tell us s**t about old classic most wanted releases!
That kind of April fool is absolutely prohibited. (ò_ó)

Unfortunately, I cannot completely enjoy that cute-shy-officer-woman-like-animes meme, due to the last dramatic events in Crimea.. :\

Thanks Sachys, and thanks Sigil, please count me in.

I'm in. I'm not really into the April Fool's Day, but I remember GOG.com once invented the September Fool's Month by going out of beta.

Thanks adambiser (+1).

I love the care and attention to detail that went into GOG's April fool. It's a true labour of love.

I am in. thanks. +rep

I'm in and bringing free beer for everybody. Thank you.

I"m in. Thanks.


Don't really prank much :).

I am in, thanks.

Please count me in. Thank you. +1. My favorite part of April Fools Day is the annual parody section within Game Informer Magazine called, "Game Infarcer." Hilarious every year!

This is my entry, thanks for the giveaway.

Don't really do any pranking on April 1st, at least no more than usual :)
