GOG has resurrected Capcom's dino-hunting horror classics Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, and now, the storefront wants your help in deciding what it should bring back to life next.

Both Dino Crisis games "come DRM-free with their original content fully intact", as is GOG's mission statement. However, they're also a part of the GOG Preservation Program, which means they've had some spring-cleaning done in order to ensure smooth playability on modern systems.

Updates for both games include increased resolution support, fixes for some common issues, and, of course, modern controller compatibility, and the first game also features its Original, Arrange, and Operation Wipe Out modes.

Alongside the Dino Crisis announcement, GOG has also revealed the Dreamlist, an evolution of its Community Wishlist feature that serves as a way to tell the GOG folks what you want to see revived next.

The Dreamlist is essentially a list of all the games GOG has not yet brought to its storefront, and by voting on your favorites, you can tell the storefront which games you want to see given the Dino Crisis (or Resident Evil, or Warcraft) treatment next.

GOG staff will also periodically highlight games that they think might be worth your time to vote on. At time of writing, highlighted games include FreelancerResident Evil Code: Veronica X, and the original Final Fantasy VII, among many others.

Of course, if you don't like the sound of the highlighted games, you can browse the full list to find your favorites, and you can even tell GOG staff if there's a game that's missing from the list.

Game preservation is becoming a more and more serious problem as the industry moves forward. According to GOG's numbers, 87% of games released prior to 2010 are no longer available, and that's a shocking statistic, frankly.

Thankfully, GOG's efforts to preserve older games continue. You can grab Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 via GOG right now, and they're also available as part of a bundle if you want to pick them up together. Take that, Shinji Mikami.
