Just came across this site. It has a load of old games on it and generally they have been fixed to run on Windows 10.

I found two that I had given up on being able to ever play again and no doubt I'll be back there.

Worth a look if you like retro or miss being able to play your old favourites.

The site itself is amazing and they're not strictly old games, they have one of the Witcher games since it was originally released if I recall for instance, and they have some other indie games. Their focus, however, is older games.

Their goal is to take old games, update them to work on modern OS's, and to strip them of any DRM (Digital Rights Management... copyright protection). I've gotten the original Fallout game and a few others with them. Much love for Good Old Games.

GOG has a very good selection and generally the games are sold DRM free as well if I recall correctly. I tend to go with Steam but sometimes GOG has stuff that Steam doesn't and that's usually the second place I will check.

Atm, they have a steam like client, called Galaxy as well.

GOG currently has the new Gwent game from the witcher series if anyone is interested, it is currently in public beta.
