EA Brings 25 Classics Back to PC, Including Ultima, Wing Commander, and Theme Hospital

After years away, EA is revisiting part of its back catalog and bringing 25 classic games to modern PCs. The lineup includes several entries in the Ultima and Wing Commander series, as well as Road Rash, Crusader, and Theme Hospital. The games are available on Steam and GOG as part of the Restored Classic Sale.

Seven titles have received more extensive updates. The developers focused on ensuring they run smoothly on modern PCs and incorporated community fixes and popular mods into the official releases. So these are more than just the original versions being listed again in digital storefronts.

The games are as follows:

  • Road Rash: 30th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander: 35th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi: 35th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger: 30th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom: 30th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander Prophecy: 30th Anniversary Edition
  • Wing Commander: Privateer
  • Wing Commander: Academy
  • Wing Commander: Armada
  • Strike Commander
  • Crusader: No Remorse
  • Crusader: No Regret
  • Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness
  • Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress
  • Ultima III: Exodus
  • Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
  • Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny
  • Ultima VI: The False Prophet
  • Ultima VII: The Complete Edition
  • Ultima VIII: Gold Edition
  • Ultima IX: Ascension
  • Ultima Underworld I
  • Ultima Underworld II
  • Theme Hospital
  • Road Rash: 30th Anniversary Edition

All the games are 50 percent off until November 19. Games in the Ultima and Wing Commander series are also available in bundles at 55 percent off.

It’s a welcome change after years of criticism that EA has left its older franchises dormant. However, this is only part of its extensive catalog, and the move is unlikely to change the mood among fans who have recently criticized the company over BioWare and the future of the Mass Effect series.
