Ooh, thank you Project EGG is new to me. I'm going to have a linguistically bemused browse.
Zoom Platform has loads of games that just don't get release anywhere else.

I've also noted a bunch of (slightly dubious) purchases of old game IP by a couple of companies that are putting a raft of 16-bit era titles out on Steam (mostly DRM-free, though). Unfortunately, in many cases, these "official re-releases" lack key materials that even bootleg/"abandonware" versions included.

From simply publishers, afaik, the ones that are the most actively seeking old titles are Piko Interactive (for console games, all emulated in PC releases) and SNEG (for native PC games). And SNEG is also founded by former GOG staff members, if you'd be interested in knowing (and they also release their games on GOG).
