Skyrim Legendary Edition is the best version of the best Elder Scrolls game, and compatible with a lot of legacy mods and older computers as far back as Windows XP. It isn't as bloated or demanding as the Special or Anniversary editions of Skryim, but is Skyrim as it was released.
This version of Skyrim really needs a DRM-free release for people who just want to play the og game without the special/anniversary edition crap. No in-game mod menu baked into the base game, no creation club, just the original Skyrim.

While it may seem that the 2011 version of the game is obsolete in wake of SE version, the original Skyrim has one advantage that for me is rather important - it lets user disable DLCs, which allows for a playthrough that's more in line with how Skyrim was designed at launch. No more Dawnguard asking for you to join them in the middle of a dragon crisis, no more Miraak's cultists attacking you just as you get down from High Hrothgar. The DLCs were designed as continuation of Dragonborn's story and their merging into the base game in SE is rather immersion breaking. Let's preserve the true history of how Skyrim was at the very beginning.

I have just purchased Skyrim SE from GOG but it will not run properly on my computer. I did have Skyrim LE from Steam which ran perfectly. I am still running Windows 8.1 and steam stopped support last year and so I lost all steam games. I have no intention to upgrade at this time.

Kind of baffling that the original game release is being "deprecated" by the "special/anniversary edition", given the importance and how popular this game is. Art cannot become obsolete, the original release can't be replaced by a newer port, specially when it makes artistic changes to the game (aesthetic losses compared to original product). This is a game preservation issue, we should have legal ways to access the original Skyrim as originally intended.

Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 0Be prepared to relive the first nightmare in Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original Resident Evil game. This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. It’s the best way to experience the story of what really happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire Resident Evil saga. The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.
