This was the 1st 3d graphical Realtime Strategy/RPG I ever played and the one that hooked me on this whole genre. Still have the original 3 CD set with the instruction Manual that was purchased in 1999 and could be installed on either a Windows or Mac computer. I was just getting started in graphic design and at the time was only Mac based. The CD has both I & II and IMO was one of the best games that BUNGIE produced. It was rated Real-Time game of the year by PC Gamer, Computer Games Strategy Plus, and Computer Gaming World. Unfortunately, I am unable to play the game from the CDs on the current versions of Windows and you guys are so great at updating and getting these great old games to work on the new platforms.

One of the best games I ever played. World building, storytelling, the general style of the game hooked me up. Brutal history of a desperate conflict unfolding in scenarios where you are always at a disadvantage. Gameplay is fun as hell. Blasting a bunch of thralls with a bomb feels so good. I would love to play it again on a modern pc, and relive the dreadful adventure of Myth.

It was made by Bungie and it was a great game. Great storytelling and scenarios where you are always trying to make the best of a losing war. It was really fun and I hope this gets on GOG.

For me it was a series of an unparallel story telling. Nothing even close amongst the titles available nowadays. Furthermore great game mechanics, simple and yet very demanding with a good difficulty level. All that sprinkled with a nice and somewhat grim sense of humor. All maps were by far not straightforward and quite diverse with limited resources at hand. One juggled amongst a couple of unit types with very well defined specialisations, sets formations and tactics to face particular types of enemies. In this aspect I must mention the that these games one could play as RTS or in some more tactical level with commands assigned during a "pause-menu screen". Yes, the commands were not disabled :). If you like RTS here you go. If you like tactics use the pause. Just brilliant :) These are also one of very few games that I have played more than two times and two is for me the usual top of my patience-Nostalgia level. I know the graphics is somewhat vintage but should still sit well amongst the pixel-freindly customer base. To my understanding the games were made for Windows 95 in mind so a dosbox wrapper is no go and the conversion will be a challenge. On top of that these were using some weird 3D animation approach for units that was not easy to adopt to modern PC-s but GoG has managed far more difficult taks. Please bring this game series to GoG :)

This game needs to be preserved! it 1 and 2 were great games, and 3 was also good imho! The story telling was spot on, the gritty battles that required almost per unit strategy were excellent and hard to be redone nowadays.
When everyone else was saying commands and conquer I was more into fantasy themed games. I found a physical copy of this and fell in love. Sadly the physical copy will not run on modern hardware and I would love to play it again
Those games also need your vote!

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.
