GOG are doubling down on game preservation, and making it easier to see which games run well on modern PCs
GOG have announced the GOG Preservation Program, restoring and relaunching over 100 classic games to run smoothly on modern hardware.James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)

Noticeably absent is Shogo, which fits their criteria, but I couldn't get it working on any modern Windows machine. Had to run it on my rebuilt Win98 college computer instead.
