The original PC ports of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are now on GOG, with modern improvements
GOG’s versions of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 offer new rendering options and current controller support
The original PC versions of Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 are now available to buy on GOG.
Although they were ported to PC in 2000 and 2002 respectively, neither game has been available for digital purchase on modern PC storefronts.
This has now changed, with Capcom‘s surival horror classic Dino Crisis and its sequel Dino Crisis 2 now available on GOG, currently priced at $11.37 each (or in a bundle for $19.35).
Both games have been optimised to ensure they work on modern PCs, and include numerous new features to ensure the best compatibility with today’s setups.
Both games boast new rendering options, an improved DirectX game renderer, support for modern controllers, smooth video playback, cloud save support and extra stability and bug fixes.
The only thing louder than the dinosaurs’ roars were the voices of gamers worldwide demanding the return of a survival horror classic 🩸
We’ve listened—the legendary Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 are back, fully playable on modern PCs!

The original Dino Crisis has also had its rendering resolution increased to 4K and its colour depth increased to 32-bit, and features the Original, Arrange and Operation Wipe Out modes.
Dino Crisis 2, meanwhile, includes enhanced item rendering and fogging, as well as the Easy, Dino Colosseum and Dino Duel modes.
Both games are part of GOG’s Preservation Program, a scheme announced last November which is designed to ensure that classic games remain playable on modern systems forever, even after their developers have stopped supporting them.

Games included in the Preservation Program are identified with a dedicated stamp on the GOG store, and players can see how GOG has worked to update each title by looking at its Preservation Log.
Also included in the Preservation Program are the original PC versions of Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 – as such, the addition of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 means the PC ports of all five of Capcom’s major PS1 survival horror games are now preserved.
