Classic Games Arrive on Modern Platforms
Electronic Arts has made 25 of its classic PC games available on Steam, GOG, and the EA App. This release includes a range of titles, with particular focus on "Anniversary Editions" for the motorcycle racer Road Rash and six games from the Wing Commander series.
Anniversary Editions and Content Restoration
The "Anniversary Editions" for Road Rash and the Wing Commander titles aim to preserve the original game experience while incorporating quality-of-life updates for compatibility with modern systems and controls. These updates also improve performance. The development of these editions was prompted by the discovery of a "physical media vault" containing thousands of Betacam, VHS, and D1 tapes, along with other media assets.
Through a digitization process, EA recovered master full-motion video (FMV) sequences, re-editing them to restore over 1,500 scenes across the games. The updated Wing Commander games also officially integrate certain community-made modifications.
Pricing and Availability
The Road Rash and Wing Commander Anniversary Editions are priced at $9.99 each. Other classic games in the release, such as titles from the Ultima and Crusader series, are available for $4.99. All 25 games can be purchased through Steam, GOG, and the EA App.
