This is one of my favorite hip-hop inspired graffiti games, so many classic hip-hop tunes on it and there's not many titles like this out there, it's really one of its kind and it has an occult following for huge hip-hop heads like me and I'd definitely love to see this title on GOG
„Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure” is an absolute gem of a game that perfectly blends graffiti culture, hip-hop, and a gripping story. The atmosphere, music, and gameplay create an experience that stands out even today. From tagging the city to outmaneuvering the oppressive authorities, every moment feels immersive and unique.
It would be amazing to see this game available on GOG, giving more players the chance to experience this underrated classic. While it’s currently on Steam, having a DRM-free version here would be a dream come true for many fans. Hopefully, GOG can make this happen!

The first time I experienced this game was through a demo CD that came with a gaming magazine—instantly, I was hooked. A couple of years later, I got lucky when a friend gave me his copy because he didn’t like it. To this day, we still argue about it, because honestly, I can't understand how anyone—especially someone into hip-hop and graffiti culture—couldn't appreciate what this game brought to the table.
Getting Up is more than just a game; it’s a raw, stylish tribute to street art and urban expression. The soundtrack, the atmosphere, the message—it all clicked with me. While the gameplay and controls may feel a bit outdated by today’s standards, they’re still solid and well-executed for their time. It doesn’t take long to get used to, and once you’re in the rhythm, it really works.
It’s not perfect, but it’s got soul—and that’s something you don’t see often in games anymore. Marc Ecko's Getting Up captures a moment in time, a subculture, and a creative movement with authenticity and respect. It’s a game that absolutely needs to be preserved for future generations, not just as entertainment, but as a cultural artifact. If you have any love for graffiti, hip-hop, or the rebellious spirit of street culture, this game is a must-play.
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Toy Soldiers: War ChestToy Soldiers: War Chest is similar to the previous games where players prevent enemy units from reaching the toybox by building and upgrading turrets. In War Chest, turrets can be improved by upgrading armor, fire rate and damage separately. The enemy AI is improved as well. For example destroying a bridge will cause ground units to take a different path to the toybox. Certain units have the ability to heal nearby units and some will focus on destroying any placed turrets.
Barrages and playable units from Toy Soldiers: Cold War returns with a few changes. Instead of earning killstreaks or destroying a specially marked enemy unit, the game uses a bar that fills up when killing enemy units. When the bar is filled to a certain amount, a special ability can used to call in barrages or spawn a hero unit such a zeppelin that performs a bombing run.
The game features 4 highly customizable armies (8 in Hall of Fame Edition). Players can choose which turrets to deploy, barrages and modify the hero's arsenal. As the game progresses, new customization options will become available.
The Hall of Fame Edition features four additional licensed armies based on fictional characters. This includes Duke and Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe, Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Assassin's Creed and He-Man from Masters of the Universe. The characters can be purchased separately or as a bundle on the standard version.Action Warfare
