FANTABULOUS! My favorite Carmen Sandiego game has a chance to debut on GOG? I played this game SO MANY TIMES growing up. I loved it to pieces and actually used some of that info in my history reports. I'd love to play it again.
I played this game multiple times as a kid at my grandpa's house. I learned a lot of things from history that help me later in school. I feel this is a great game to start new gamers on. My sons have inherited my love of games. I feel that these types of games are great for young kids to start out with, because of the problem solving skills they provide what don't require a lot of motorskills on a controller. It helps them learn how to slove puzzles in games, remember things said by NPCs, and look for colletable items in games. All things that help establish a baseline for RPG and adventure style games.
Those games also need your vote!

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
Tony Hawk's American WastelandYou are a new skater in the city of L.A.. The main drive of the game is that your hanging around with a skating group and its leader, who also happens to be a skating legend, at their skate park in Beverly Hills called Skate Ranch. Throughout the game you must help your friends by getting skate pieces for Skate Ranch. The game marks the third reinvention of the series, with Pro Skater being the first, and Underground being the second. It comes with brand new features like the ability to change your personal appearance in game, as well as the ability to get off of the skateboard and use a BMX. For the first time all of levels are strung together into one big environment, which gets rid of loading times and menu selection. Old features were also kept like Create-a-park, which dates back to the Pro Skater series. Missions are still acquired by going up to random people or friends and accepting the mission they want you to run. The game also includes a multiplayer mode and co-op for up to 2 players for added replay value.
