While you could say a release of the og NES version is obsolete because of the Pixel Remasters, I´d say it would make a release on gog of this special, as there is truly no way to legally play the og version on PC, especially as copies of the game fetch for quite a high price by now. This version is a cornerstone, a founder of the jrpg genre and as such it should be preserved.
YES! The game that saved Squaresoft and brought the Japanese RPG to the US. This game is so much fun and there is no one way to play it. I absolutely loved how you can choose your party; the first time I ever experienced that in a video game! (I played this before Ultima). I actually still have the cartridge, complete in the box, with the map, booklet, inserts, and everything. This game absolutely must be on GOG and it is one of those games that you just have to play at some point in your life. Just watch out for Warmech!
If gog does this (and they should), offer the classic and pixel remaster, but give people the option to choose. Don't go the D&D game "enhanced" route and force people to pay more for options they don't want.
Those games also need your vote!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingThe video game adaption of the acclaimed film of the same name. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a follow up the well received adaption of the first two films in the trilogy. The game expands on what The Two Towers accomplished, with the action and adventure sequel introducing three separate story lines from the movie: one following Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, as The Two Towers did, another following Gandalf, and a third following Frodo and Sam, with Merry, Pippin, and Faramir serving as unlockable characters. Gameplay features were also expanded upon, including multiplayer.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
