The dreamcast is home to so many gems and illbleed is one of them. In a genre thats filled with so much of the same gameplay Illbleed stands tall to differentiate itself from its competitors. over 24 years later and nothing like illbleed has been replicated in gaming. I've played dozens & dozens of survival horror games and i've never experienced something quite like illbleed. It's visuals and lighting are so atmospheric while its soundtrack goes in tandem with it. Shinya Nishigaki the founder of climax graphics/crazy games, was planning for illbleed to be ported to the xbox but he sadly passed before it came to fruition. Which led the port to be canceled even though it was 80% finished. I believe this game deserves to be ported to GOG so new audiences can experience this macabre campfest. This game does not deserve to be left on a niche console while having to pay over $300 to play it. So I speak for myself and all the fans of illbleed that this game is given the justice it deserves to be properly preserved. Thank you for everyone thats read this and has voted towards illbleed being re released on GOG.

This needs to be preserved for the insanity that is Toy Hunter: Cork goes to Hell alone. This game is both downright insane and a super unique game in the Survival Horror genre and it doesn't deserve to be trapped on the Dreamcast in a weird rights limbo for all eternity.

This game is very unique. I don't think there has ever been anything like this ever made again. Its really in a time capsule in a way. I know the creator passed away a long time ago and a port for the Original Xbox was intended at one point but was not made ultimately, so the game always been stuck on Dreamcast. Granted you can emulate Dreamcast without too much issues in general, but it would be cool that the game would be "easier to get". I could never find wich company own the liscence tough. So my hopes are low but still...
I don't know if this game will ever be ported to Gog but you never know. A fan of horror and games that stand out from the crowd, this game caught my eye with its dark and wacky atmosphere but which is unfortunately stuck on the Dreamcast (a console that I unfortunately don't have) and it's a shame because it looks cool and deserves to be discovered by more people.

I have no experience with this game or the original hardware, but I've seen plenty enough reviews and gameplay vids to interest me in its preservation. It's a real shame that Shinya Nishigaki's passing put an end to development for the Xbox port and sequel for this and Blue Stinger. Despite their flaws, there was something good here.
This game is pure madness. It's a weird combo of Resident Evil and Goofiness. And a few (And I do mean few, it's not alot.) RPG Elements. The Characters are all vivid and alive. The Levels and Monsters are........all really crazy. And the Plot is 5 kinds of Insane. There is not really another game like it and we really need to preserve this game, cause we probably will never get another game like it again. This is a game that needs more people to play or even just experience it via their favorite Streamer.

Jewels of Darkness: Colossal Adventure
Jewels of Darkness: Colossal AdventureColossal Adventure takes its cue from the very earliest mainframe text adventures. Our hero must rescue the elves and find fifteen pieces of treasure. There are many dark areas, so lights and batteries are at a premium. Be careful of vicious dwarves, who can be killed using axes. You can carry up to four objects at a time; the useful ones include a newspaper, keys and sandwiches. The vocabulary includes saying spell names, DROPping items to stay within the carrying limit (and for other specific reasons), CATCHing a bird, and standard directions plus IN and OUT.

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
