Gung Ho Wants To Know Which Game Arts Titles You'd Buy On PC
If you miss the days of Grandia and Lunar, your nostalgia might be satiated soon. Gung Ho Online Entertainment is exploring the possibility of porting some of Game Arts’ (its subsidiary) titles to PC.
The publisher has posted a survey that lists a number of titles, asking which (if any) games you’d be interested in. The list includes the following:
- Alisia Dragoon
- Dokuro
- Grandia
- Grandia II
- Grandia III
- Gungriffon
- Gungriffon II
- Gungriffon Allied Strike
- Gungriffon Blaze
- Lunar: Dragon Song
- Lunar: Eternal Blue
- Lunar: The Silver Star
- Lunar: The Silver Star Story Complete
- Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
- Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
- The Magic Obelisk
- Project Silpheed
- Ragnarok Odyssey
- Ragnarok Odyseey ACE
- Silpheed
- Silpheed: The Lost Planet
- Thexder
- Thexder 2
- Zeliard
If you’re interested in your voice being heard, you can fill out the survey. Of course there’s no guarantee that any of these will happen, but if you have even the slightest desire for one or more of these titles, you should take a few minutes to share that information with Gung Ho.
Our Take
As preservation becomes a growing concern for the game industry, PC ports on Steam and other storefronts offer an easy way to keep older titles alive. While there are certainly costs in bringing old games to new platforms, the benefits often outweigh the expense (and return older IPs to relevancy).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
