      Back in June, both Syndicate games and Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 (all MS-DOS games) were removed from GOG, and apparently from Origin too.

      Now it seems they're back, and at least the GOG titles are 100% off for a limited time. And the games on Origin are free as well, but I couldn't find info confirming it's a temporary free there (they were paid before being removed, so it wouldn't hurt to claim them as well).

      GOG sale of these games:
      https://www.gog.com/promo/rerelease_ultima_underworld_and_syndicate
      Which includes:
      https://www.gog.com/game/ultima_underworld_1_2
      https://www.gog.com/game/syndicate
      https://www.gog.com/game/syndicate_wars

      Origin's titles:
      https://www.origin.com/store/syndicate/syndicate-1993
      https://www.origin.com/store/ultima/ultima-underworld-ii-labyrinth-of-worlds
      https://www.origin.com/store/ultima/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss

      Apparently Syndicate (Origin) is the original version while Syndicate Plus (GOG) is an expanded version, and it seems Syndicate Wars is only available on GOG.

      If anyone has trouble launching Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, the GOG and Origin versions have different steps.

      For Origin, create a .bat file with a name not directly related to the games inside each game's DATA folders (default on Windows is C: > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > [game's name] > DATA), then paste these scripts inside them:

      • For Ultima Underworld 1:
      imgmount d game.dat -t iso -fs iso
cls
d:
uw.bat
      • For Ultima Underworld 2:
      imgmount d game.dat -t iso -fs iso
d:
cls
uw2.bat

      For the GOG version, rename dosboxULTIMA1_single.conf (for the 1st game) and dosboxULTIMA2_single.conf (for the 2nd game) as .bat files (again, names not directly related to the games). They should be kept in their game's root folders (where they already were).

      Then launch the games from these .bat files. And if DOSBox returns an "illegal command" error, try to shorten the name of the .bat files.

        Thanks for alerting us of the free games, i didnt have ultima yet.
        I deff advice anyone to get the Syndicate games while they're still available for free, they're really good. Played them to death back in the days. and again last year.
        Shame to see them go.

          Here's two that I've been having a ton of fun with (one you have to pay for, the other is free)

          Xeno Crisis, a twinstick shooter for Genesis/Mega Drive (well, more like dual + + genesis interface but you get the idea), as well as Dreamcast and Neo Geo (AES and CD)
          https://shop.bitmapbureau.com/collections/sega-mega-drive-genesis/products/xeno-crisis-sega-mega-drive-genesis-rom-download
          (it's the devs store)

          next is Pyoro64 for the Nintendo 64, a remake of the minigame you find in WarioWare
          Here's footage from the original game

          here's footage from the 64 remake

          the 64 remake runs great on the Pi.

                What hooked me the most was the Gameboy Player Rumble support. I wish more games did that.

                  ​Platform: NES
                  Comes with two .nes ROMs, one inside a downloadable .rar file and one that's uncompressed and ready to be used. Not sure what's the difference between them, and maybe they have multiple languages, but I can't check right now.

                  from what it looks like, they're both the same exact file, but the rar comes with an emulator and a disclaimer saying "sorry for the bugs, its only a 3 person team" in English and Brazilian Portuguese

                        According to ScummVM's wiki, most of the games from the Leisure Suit Larry franchise released on GOG and Steam appear to be playable through the ScummVM emulator:
                        https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Leisure_Suit_Larry_series

                        Also, Leisure Suit Larry 1 - In the Land of the Lounge Lizards is currently free on IndieGala, and it also includes the files required by ScummVM:

                          I feel like this whole thread should be replaced by a wiki and then locked.

                          Can that be done?

                          It's completely unmanageable for me to keep updating that first post with all these.

                            @benmclean I like the wiki idea, but I'd keep the post open if people want to ask something or help with anything other than editing such wiki.

                            Also, sorry if I bloated the post. Itchio is kinda of a rabbit hole. "<.<

                              Leisure Suit Larry 2 is also free now on IndieGala, and the game can be run on ScummVM:
                              https://freebies.indiegala.com/leisure-suit-larry-2-looking-for-love-in-several-wrong-places

                              Recommendation of the ScummVM wiki: keep all files that come with the game, since they tend to change a lot between version and it's hard to know which files are needed.

                              Also the stand-alone ScummVM detects both Atari ST and DOS versions of the game, but I have no clue which are the Atari ST files and which are DOS'.

                                @auster Keep the Gameboy games coming! Itch.io may be a rabbit hole, but I'm excited it is a source of so many roms. I have a GBA flash cart on the way so I can expand my options on my GBA SP in addition to my Pi. Your posts are very appreciated.

                                      Also, from what I read, either there never was a Leisure Suit Larry 4, or it never got released.

                                        Street Racer includes the SNES and MS-DOS versions of the game, according to this comment:

                                          @benmclean While they currently lack many of these new itch.io games and are intentionally limited to only include finished games (or at least games in a state complete enough to have more than ten minutes worth of content), I have been working on both freeware and commercial lists of legally accessible ROMs for a device-specific wiki I edit, but they certainly might be helpful to people with other devices as well. As I was planning on turning the table section of the article into a template that I could use on different device-specific wiki I just created, perhaps such a template would be of use if another wiki were to be created.

                                          In terms of other research I've done for my lists, I did find that Retroism, Piko Interactive, and Dotemu had quite a few classic games re-released on new platforms, several of which aren't on my lists yet, but I've been unable to confirm, either independently or by contacting the companies, whether or not the missing games are emulated and/or DRM free or not. Perhaps someone who has several games from one or more of those companies on Steam or GOG could shed some light on that? I'm pretty sure most if not all Piko Interactive releases include the ROM of the respective game in the game files, whereas DotEmu seems to add DRM and Retroism generally seems to not. To avoid people buying games expecting a ROM and not finding one, I generally prefer finding confirmation first though. I'll try compiling a list of all the games I think might be emulated in the coming days that I haven't found confirmation of yet, and hopefully one or more people here might have it.

                                          On another note, it's quite unfortunate that in the SNES/Genesis cartridges of Chip's Challenge being released, the freeware ROM versions for both consoles were taken off itch.io, especially as now there's no way to just buy the ROMs... I wonder if perhaps they licensed those versions from the developer.

                                            @cooliecoolster About DotEmu, they're the ones that rereleased some of SNK's NeoGeo games, right?
                                            If it is and if I remember right, some versions don't include the ROM/BIOS in the Windows version, but do in the Mac & Linux versions.
                                            It may take some digging, and I have some NeoGeo games on Humble Bundle, Steam, GOG and Amazon Prime, so maybe I could check those.

                                            Also, little edit: Is there any limitation as to who can add information to those wiki pages, or can anyone do it?
