The original Demon's Souls needs to be preserved, it was the starting point of the soulsborne genre and never had the chance to get on PC like the original Dark Souls

It's a fantastic game. And also far better than the god-awful remake that craps all over the original art style and music. The OG - not the Remake - needs to be preserved.

please do this one and not the godawful demake. It'll never happen but i do feel obligated to let this grievance out there. This game was a huge innovation and should be preserved
The hidden gem of the ps3, people never could appreciate this game at all, now be the optimization, the publicity on the release day or eclipsed by Dark Souls but i know people would love this game if came today
The starting point of the Souls series, the original Demon's Souls is a masterpiece that deserves just as much love as any other. For the original DeS to receive a proper PC port would be a dream come true. More people need to experience where it all began and fall in love with this gem like so many others have.

I love this game, one of my favorite games of all time and which is the precursor to Dark Souls which I really love. Although I found the remake on PS5 nice, I have a preference for the original game and it would be very nice to still be able to access it in the version released on PS3

This game is very special to me as it helped me when I was a teenage that was losing interest in everything and struggling. It gave me hope and let me overcome the challenges in my real life. The atmosphere still holds up and is better than even the later titles from, from software. It is a shame it is stuck on ps3 hardware. As the remake does not retain the art direction.

I played the following one, Dark Souls, at a weird point in my life. Nothing was going as I had been planning, and nothing was under my control anymore. However, playing it frustrated me so much that I forgot most of my irl problems during every session, and I looked forward to those nights every day. At a certain point, I realized that all I ever needed was to pick myself up again, and again and again, even in real life, until I could figure things out and solve my problems bit by bit. Thank you for existing, FS and Miyazaki. I'd like to keep the entirety of the Souls series with me, just to remind myself of what I've learned—if I ever forget, though I doubt that I ever will. And to share these fantastic experiences with my fellow PC players too!

As one of the only modern Fromsoftware games not available on PC in some way, I think we need to change that! And with the original version of the game, not the remake. While the remake is pretty, the original wasn't supposed to be pretty! I didn't know about the King's Field or Armored Core games so this was my first experience into a fromsoftware game, and was a day 1 buy for me. The trailer was just too cool. Loved the aesthetic of the original.
I played Demons Souls before but I didn't have the opportunity to complete it 100%, and most importantly for me, the willingness to play it with friends. So I'm hoping for a PC port and, if possible, online options.
Those games also need your vote!

Phantasy Star Collection
Phantasy Star CollectionPhantasy Star Collection is a compilation of Phantasy Star games that was released on the Game Boy Advance on November 26, 2002 in the United States and in March 2003 in Europe. This version, produced by Digital Eclipse, altered the classic titles in order to function within the Game Boy Advance's resolution. Strangely, the bundle omitted the fan-favorite Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium from its selection of games, only offering Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II, and Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom.

Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star IIGameplay is similar to the original Phantasy Star, the first game in the series. Its battle system is turn-based, allowing the player to choose commands for their party of up to four characters. Each of the eight characters has a different set of preferred weapons and armor, as well as techniques, suited to the character's job. The player must defeat enemies in the overworld and in dungeons to advance in the game. The game abandoned the first-person view that the first game used for dungeons and battles. Phantasy Star II instead uses a top-down perspective for exploration and a third-person view in battles.
