This just came out of early access last month. Please GOG bring this version here as well. Battle Realms is an incredible RTS that is full of detail. It is unfortunate that it was overshadowed eventually by Warcraft 3 because I believe that this game is far more impressive in every front, save perhaps for the interface which is a bit lackluster.

Got this for free as a gift within cereal packet. Thought that it would be garbage if given for free. Well, played only this game for an entire year, could not stop myself. It was also the first game where I've played in multiplayer with my older brother.

RollerCoaster Tycoon
RollerCoaster TycoonThe premise of the game is to complete a series of preset scenarios by successfully building and maintaining amusement parks through business ownership as a theme park entrepreneur. The key to any park is building a large amount and diverse range of rides for the visitors. Players can choose from dozens of roller coaster types and can also build log flumes, carousels, bumper cars, haunted houses, go karts, ferris wheels, and swinging ships, among other rides. The intensity and type of rides must be balanced, as visitors' preferences vary significantly from person to person. For example, some guests prefer exciting rides and have high nausea tolerance levels, while other guests are just the opposite.

It Came from the Desert
It Came from the DesertIt Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for. The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.
