EA's releasing a truckload of classic games on Steam, and 7 of them are remasters

Last month we got news that Wing Commander 3, the FMV space-combat sim with perhaps the highest concentration of Mark Hamill in any videogame, would be getting a remaster. Producer Jim Vessella is heading up the project, and revealed it during a presentation at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

What he did not reveal, it turns out, is that five other Wing Commander games—plus Road Rash—would be getting their own dolled-up re-releases, and that they'd all be dropping on Steam, GOG, and the EA App today as part of a larger bundle of 25 "EA Classics". No, I don't know why you'd buy them on the EA App either. It takes all sorts to make a world.

Here's the full list of games that are dropping. Anything labelled "Anniversary Edition" is an updated, remastered version of the original game. Anything not labelled that is simply a re-release.

If you're a GOG user, the only new things on that storefront will be the remasters—GOG's had all the other classic games for yonks now, but on Steam it's a veritable deluge of hearty, classic stuff. Personally, I'll just be glad to have a copy of Theme Hospital where all my other games are. And if someone fancies turning on Workshop support for it and integrating CorsixTH, they won't hear any objections from me.

On the remaster front, EA pinky promises it hasn't mucked the games up.
