I came across this site recently ~http://www.gog.com/
Basically it appears that this company are bringing back old and no longer available games from a range of publishers. They tweak them, repackage them and then make them available to gamers for purchase or free play.
It's a distribution service (much like Steam) and is backed by the company that makes The Witcher games, so presumably not short on resources.
What piqued my curiosity was that they have recently signed a deal with LucasArts/Disney to bring back a whole bunch of games from their back catalogue. It's my impression that Disney are changing their marketing strategy somewhat and opening up to different platforms (steam) and making partnerships with other developers (SquareEnix)...which could be a good thing overall.
The most important point of this, is that they run a wishlist. You can nominate and vote for whichever games you would like to see resurrected.
Needless to say I added PotCO.
You can find it here :-

A long shot, but one worth pursuing I think....
