The basic premise is that this is an American-made Ecchi Visual Novel about a school for those with disabilities. The Main Character, who you play as, has a heart condition,specifically 'cardiac arrhythmia and congenital heart muscle deficiency,' and qualifies him for the school. The game takes place over a full year, and you're given the chance woo one of 5 girls with various disabilities. If that description sounds like the should be a disgusting mess of a representation about the disabled... You'd actually be wrong. This game has a very strange history which honestly makes it even more surprising in some ways that it's not exploitative. The game was brainstormed on the infamous message board / forum 4-Chan, at first as a concept and various character designs to my understanding. But then the game designers and artists and everyone else who gathered together (I'm quoting from memory after a brief wiki glance for the heart info,) sat down and made a relatively serious game that doesn't gloss over any of the issues involved. As an added bonus, the creators of the included the ability to turn off the more adult (as in sexual,) content, so that would make it easier to adapt to GOG. I definitely reccomend this game.

One of my top favorite free games ever! Not quite as worried about this game since it is already widely available in many ways, but still a great idea to preserve this game for the future and hopefully still for free. The games concept seems really weird, but it is actually an excellent visual novel with great characters and story with so much heart to it. Even if this does not get picked, I highly recommend downloading and playing this game and keeping it safe.

Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation
Super Robot Taisen: Original GenerationIt is two hundred years after the beginning of the "Space Era", a time period when civilization began expanding into space. However, by the start of the 21st century, two meteors struck and destroyed much of the Earth, sending humanity into chaos. By year 179 of the Space Era, secret technology, dubbed Extra-Over Technology, or EOT, was discovered by the Earth Federal Government within a third meteor that had hit Earth at the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. Dr. Bian Zoldark, while investigating the meteor, also found out that the creators of the Extra-Over Technology were heading to Earth to reclaim it. In order to defend earth, the government starts to develop a group of humanoid mecha, known as Personal Troopers. The alien race that created Extra-Over Technology, called the Aerogaters by the Earth Federal Government, initially attacks an Earth ship sent out to investigate their presence in the far reaches of the solar system. This initial skirmish ends in a defeat for the Aerogaters, prompting them to sue for negotiations with the Earth Federation Army. Talks are arranged to take place at a secret facility in Antarctica, but the talks are targeted by a rogue faction called the Divine Crusaders. The Divine Crusaders destroys the Aerogater delegation, then turn on the Federation forces. Bian Zoldark, revealing himself to be the leader of the Divine Crusaders, announces the existence of the Aerogaters to the world and rebel against the Earth Government. As Earth spins into civil war, a new Aerogater force is on the move, seeking to reclaim their lost technology...
