Why the Original Burnout Paradise Should Be on GOG
Burnout Paradise (2008) is one of the most thrilling arcade racing games ever made. With its open-world design, insane crash physics, and high-speed action, it redefined what a racing game could be. The original PC version captured the heart of fans with its raw intensity, tight controls, and a killer licensed soundtrack featuring artists like Guns N’ Roses and Killswitch Engage.
However, the original release has become increasingly difficult to access. The Remastered version, while improved in some ways, altered or removed certain features, music, and visual elements that made the classic version feel unique.
That’s why GOG should bring back the original Burnout Paradise, DRM-free and optimized for modern PCs—complete with controller support and the original licensed music. GOG’s commitment to preserving important gaming titles makes it the perfect home for this fan-favorite. Let’s give Paradise City the digital preservation it deserves.

Starsky & HutchStarsky & Hutch is an arcade racing game based on the popular TV series from the 70s, released to tie in with the film. The game includes 18 missions, each based on an episode of the TV show and introduced by Antonio 'Huggy Bear' Fargas. There is also a free roaming mode, in which the player explores the GTA-esque environment looking for action and trouble.
Like the film, the game does not entirely play it straight. Starsky & Hutch are actually shooting a TV show, and the scoring for each mission reflects how ratings-friendly your driving is. You are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals for each mission depending on performance, and must get at least 1 gold and 2 silvers on season 1 for a second season to be commissioned, and 3 golds and 2 silvers in season 2 for there to be a third for you to play through.
The overall goal in each mission is usually to chase and destroy a criminal's car. There is always a secondary target as well. In addition, the player will gain viewers by hitting the bad guy, pulling off elaborate jumps and skids, nearly hitting civilians, and hitting the bonus targets such as canisters which are strewn through the levels. Hitting civilians will lose viewers.Action Sandbox

F-ZeroF-Zero is set in the year 2560, when humanity's multiple encounters with alien life forms had resulted in the expansion of Earth's social framework. This led to commercial, technological and cultural interchanges between planets. The multi-billionaires who earned their wealth through intergalactic trade were mainly satisfied with their lifestyles, although most coveted more entertainment in their lives. This resulted in a new entertainment based on the Formula One races to be founded with vehicles that could hover one foot above the track.
