Please! The PC game was the best one, with 32X colors and resolution, combined with the improved Sega CD audio. But it is tricky to run on modern systems, so it's a prime game for the GOG Preservation Program.
Please i want the definitive versión, thats is the pc, exactly the windows 95, with the musics and the extra leves, this game is not working on windows 10 with out tinkering around, i played in the past, in the sega genesis, never finished at that time, is very fun to play with plataform , with secrets to be found, this is the best pitfall ever created , the graphics and animations are on par or superior to aladin sega genesis, also the music and sounds has so much soul ,and awsome composition ,beatifull to listen , adding atmosphere to the gameplay , really a gem of a game, that can not be outside of gog program

I still have my physical copy of the game and it runs "out of the box" on Windows 10 and it's an absolute blast! However, the game needs some tinkering to get it running at it's full potential. A proper full screen mode with wide screen support would be a phenomenal addition if the game were to ever be re-released digitally. I remember reading a game magazine at my school library and finding a map to help me beat the fourth level!

Possibly the only Pitfall game worth playing these days. Who's jonsing to pick up a copy of Super Pitfall, anyway? Besides, this has Pitfall built into it; all that's missing is Pitfall 2 as a pack in somewhere. Frankly, I don't know where the idea to reboot pitfall as a modern platformer came from, but I salute the design team nonetheless for finding a way to revitalize a pre-NES platformer into a full proper adventure.

I played this game a lot between 98 and 2000. I still have the original CD but I would like to have it on GOG. Unfortunately I couldn't get the game's music to work. Please!!!!
I've got very fond memories of playing this game back in the day on my Sega Mega Drive. I'd like to revisit it through the PC version which, according to Digital Foundry's John Linnenman, is the definitive version of the game. Unfortunately, getting it to to run on a modern operating system is needlessly convuluted.

This game had some of the best 2D animation of it's time, on the level of Aladdin and Earthworm Jim! The PC version needs to come back as it's the best version of the game!
Those games also need your vote!
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
Spyro: Enter the DragonflySpyro: Enter the Dragonfly is the fourth game in the Spyro the Dragon series and the first Spyro game to be on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube. Gameplay is similar to the previous three console games. The only playable character is Spyro, however he can man several vehicles: Hunter's Manta Ray and the UFO's make a return appearance from Year of the Dragon, alongside two new vehicles, the tank and the Spitfire attack plane. The game faced development issues that affected the final product, which resulted in being poorly made. Upon release, it was widely criticized for its numerous glitches, long loading times, and choppy framerate, with fans and critics calling it the worst entry in the franchise.

Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy
Spyro Orange: The Cortex ConspiracySpyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy is a handheld crossover title with the Crash Bandicoot franchise. It is the first Spyro game developed by Vicarious Visions. The development team has given the dragon a more traditional side-scrolling environment for his overworld instead of taking him back to his isometric exploits. But the scrolling platformer is only part of the experience. Spyro Orange focuses on dozens of mini-challenges for its gameplay, like a vertical shooter where Spyro floats around blasting sheep or collecting gems, a rapid-button-tapping challenge involving tug-o-war and ice cube creation, or driving around in a tank, or knocking out a series of bad guys in a Breakout-style challenge. The game supports link cable play for multiplayer challenges.

Magic Knight Rayearth
Magic Knight RayearthThe balance in the magical world of Cefiro is supported by the prayers of the lovely princess Emerald. When the evil Sage Master imprisoned her, the existence of the entire world was endangered. Using her spiritual powers, the princess contacted three Japanese high-school girls, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, turned them into Magic Knights, and summoned them to Cefiro, where their goal is to save her and to restore the balance. This adaptation of the eponymous manga and anime series is an action game with light role-playing elements, somewhat similar in style to Zelda games. The protagonists are all the three girls, but the player can controls only one of them at a time. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, as well as different fighting styles: Hikaru uses swords, Umi a rapier, and Fuu a bow. The player advances through the game by exploring the world, talking to non-playable characters, and fighting enemies in real-time combat. There is no experience system; new abilities (among them swimming and jumping) are gained as dictated by the story, and must be used in certain points in order to advance.

Complete the bonus stage and the emerald is yours. You'll also get the chance to collect and raise chaos, and trade them over to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on GameCube, through the use of the GBA/GC link cable.
