Every pledge goes back into rescuing titles that would otherwise be lost
Classic PC Games is a preservation project. The catalogue runs to thousands of titles, and keeping it online, accurate and properly illustrated costs money that no advertising on a site this size will ever cover. Patreon is how that gap gets closed.
Where the money goes
- Hosting the catalogue and the download mirrors
- Buying boxed originals so the manuals and art can be scanned properly
- Rescanning the artwork that was digitised at postage-stamp size in the nineties
- Cataloguing the titles that still have no cover, no screenshot and no description

Not ready to pledge?
Telling us about a title we are missing, or sending a clean scan of a box you still own, is worth as much as a pledge. Both routes go through the contact page.
