Good Old Games Adds 'Ultima IV' For Free, And 'Populous'

by Rainier on Sept. 1, 2011 @ 10:15 a.m. PDT

GOG.com has signed a digital distribution agreement with Electronic Arts, expanding its catalog with Ultima IV (free), as well as Peter Molyneux's god-sim classic Populous, priced at $5.99, both Win7/Vista compatible, and DRM free.

GOG will be bringing back DRM-free versions of some legendary EA titles to its digital catalog. Since GOG’s launch, its users have hungered for classic games from its catalog, and GOG.com will finally feed that hunger with plenty of yesteryear’s blockbusters from the globally renowned publisher.

GOG will be adding more than 25 titles from EA over the next few months, so the games will be unveiled gradually by GOG. With today’s announcement three widely known and much awaited brands get the revival treatment from GOG.com.

While the agreement between Electronic Arts and GOG.com brings back many acclaimed and well known franchises, it doesn’t include the much anticipated System Shock or Syndicate series at this time.
