While I must admit my penchant for old games tends to lean towards the console variety — especially the late 8-bit and early 16-bit eras which I so fondly recall growing up with — those of you who may miss the older age of PC gaming should be happy to know that the aptly-named Good Old Games is currently in early access beta testing, and plans to open its doors to the public soon.

While it obviously won’t be possible to get hold of just anything, a number of well-loved classics — Fallout, MDK, Operation Flashpoint, Freespace 2, to name but a few — are not only available for pocket change ($9.99 or lower), but are also XP and Vista compatible, DRM-free, and come with extras like MP3 soundtracks and high-resolution wallpapers. It almost seems too good to be true!

While the site’s still in beta testing, they’re accepting sign-ups, so if you hurry there’s still going to be room to jump the gun and get access sooner rather than later. Either way, this is great news for both avid retrogamers, and those of you who would like to revisit some old classics. Here’s hoping the site’s successful!
