I played this a ton growing up. I got it in the discount bin section at Walmart during Christmas and had an absolute blast. It is one of my favorite RTSs from the early 2000s and deserves to be remembered.
I remember seeing this game on Youtube and immediately knew that I'd love it, and I was right.
What was really enjoyable about it was that I could create armies of tanks and just plow through missions. The missions themselves were really unique too. From the battles on Europe's beaches, to cold winters in Russia, to the island hopping in the Pacific theater. They also had an option where you could play as the Axis and it would take on an alternate history tilt which I thought was really cool as well.
I genuinely hope that GOG adds the game here because the original is in 32 bits which makes it unplayable unfortunately. I will buy it the first chance I get if they do.
Axis & Allies has been my childhood game since I was in 3rd (or forth) Grade. Played it over at least +2000 hours or more. Played the game in a very basic manner, didn't use or understand most mechanics and always used cheats. When I was in high school, I began to play the game more seriously, like no longer using cheats and using the supply line mechanic as intended. (My god do I love the supply mechanic in this game!) Once I got a new laptop around 2023, Axis & Allies couldn’t run on Windows 11, and there was no help online to get it to work. I eventually gave up, believing my confort game was unplayable on modern hardware. Fortunately, last week I was able to get the game running by changing the display mode to integrated graphics in order to run on Windows 11. Game worked fine and made me happy. However, I had to play on a low resolution as the higher resolutions missed up the fonts. If GOG could sell the game again and make patches for it, It would be amazing if this game get played by today's RTS players!
I along with the games like mech commander 2, and railroad tycoon 3 remember playing this gave very fondly as a kid. still do. sometimes even having the main menu just sit and watch as the tanks and troops and planes flying over head with the menu music playing was soothing and the gameplay was absolutely awesome. would love to see this gem of a game make a return on gog.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Shogun: Total WarSet against the backdrop of the Sengoku Jidai (Warring States) period from the 15th to the beginning of the 17th century, Shogun: Total War is a real-time tactics and turn-based strategy game with a strong focus on historical authenticity.
Players assume control of a daimyo (leader) of a contemporary Japanese clan and attempt to conquer the nation and claim the title of supreme Shogun, the undisputed military ruler of Japan. The gameplay consist of two parts – a turn-based Risk-style mode on a 2D campaign map of Japan where the player must recruit, manage and move their armies, conduct diplomacy, trade, espionage, sabotage and assassinations.
This 2D map however ultimately serves to provide context for the 3D real-time battles that make up the main part of the game and occur whenever your army crosses into enemy territory or two opposing forces meet on the campaign map.Historical Warfare
L.A. NoireL.A. Noire is a neo-noir detective action-adventure video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011.
L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir—stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity—along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases, based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947.
The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.Open world Action Historical Thriller Sandbox Mystery
