I remember a trial version of this being bundled with an old Vista PC my parents got. I'd love to see this game brought to GOG along with the other Polar Sports games. Technically, it's still available through WildTangent. But I'd prefer to have a DRM-free version of this on GOG rather than have to deal with a shady launcher.
This game, along with FATE were my 2 favorite games I could never play as a child. It cost money to play the WildTangent games, but you could occasionally get trial tokens and I didn't understand how cookies worked at the time. But those very occasional trial tokens were my only way of playing those 2 games. FATE fortunately is on Steam, and they just made a remake which is also on consoles. I hope this game could remain downloadable from a reputable source so I don't have to worry about malware or crypto miners trying to relive my childhood.
Those games also need your vote!
