Forever Physical: In a world where gaming giants are actively trying to kill optical discs and other physical media, GOG is doing its own thing. The retro gaming store is expanding its dedicated preservation efforts, giving customers a new way to enjoy their growing collection of digital purchases.
GOG recently announced the addition of a few more titles to its Preservation Program, which was introduced to improve support for some classic games sold on the store. The program is now welcoming five new titles, which also come with their own interactive 3D boxes scanned from original packaging.
GOG's new wave of Preservation Program titles includes Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, Armikrog, Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, and Myst. The five corresponding 3D dioramas were created after scanning the front, back, spine, and all the additional elements of the original boxes. GOG chose the GLB format to share the interactive 3D objects, which should be easy to view with native 3D viewers available on both Windows and macOS.
