I noticed we didn't have any reference to G.O.R.G here at mobygames, so I began to make a new entry for it, but then noticed we did have an entry for Gateworld. I am not sure how to approach G.O.R.G. at this point. I could either add it as an alternate title for Gateworld, or as a new game. Since most people probably aren't familiar with the two games, here is the breakdown:

Homebrew Software released Gateworld in 1993. Rights somehow transferred to Microforum International. Instead of releasing the exact same game, they renamed it G.O.R.G. and released all 3 episodes of Gateway as one long game. The made several other changes as well (listed below), and released this new version of the game in 1995 http://www.elisoftware.org/index.php?title=G.O.R.G.(PC,_CD-ROM)_Microforum-_1995_USA,_Canada_Release

They also made the following changes: Added SVGA video Added voice clips and sound effects Added cut scenes Changed the sprite of the main character (he wears a helmet in GORG, but not in Gateworld)

It is similar enough that some may just consider it a n\later version. Others, due to the name change and amount of changed assets, might be justified in considering it an enhanced remake.

Unfortunately there isn't much about GORG online to point to, but for comparison purposes I uploaded some screen shots here: http://imgur.com/a/kjUoH#0

You guys can compare them to the screen shots on the entry for Gateworld to see the differences.
