The GOG Preservation Program has expanded with some historical polish games, along with a Polish themed sale and one of the games has me really excited. Most of the games added are free, with only one actually a paid game which is nice to see for easy access to more classics.
GOG said: “If you grew up in Poland in the late 80s or early 90s, you know Robbo. If you didn’t – you’re about to. Created by Janusz Pelc in 1989, Robbo is a puzzle-action game that became a cultural phenomenon, spawning sequels, remakes, and a fanbase that never really went away”. They’ve added three versions of Robbo:
Plus these as well:
Electro Man – a kinetic action platformer that pushed the limits of what Polish PC gaming could do.
Heartlight – a puzzle game that earned international recognition, published by Epic MegaGames.
Citadel Remonstered – a Doom-style first-person shooter initially made for Amiga. The refreshed version joins the GOG Preservation Program today.
MaSzyna – a free, open-source Polish train simulator with a devoted community that has kept it alive and evolving for years. A genuine piece of Polish gaming culture worth having in your library.
Citadel Remonstered is the one here that really excites me. I grew up playing with my Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200, and I remember discovering the original Citadel and putting lots of hours into it. Sadly, our copy of it was lost and forgotten, so to experience it again with an updated version is quite a treat – I had no idea it existed like this. Amazing.
They also have a new video interview:
They also have the Polish Promo sale running until May 8th, 7 AM UTC. Some good stuff in there to check out!
See everything on the GOG.com store.
