This game was short lived but got me through some tough times. It's a shame it was bought and abandoned. It was the perfect battle royale. The aesthetic, music and gameplay were top notch.
This game was cut down before it ever got started and I think that is a damn shame. To see it revived here would be amazing, I hope to play it and see it expanded beyond the simple demo it once was.

In the darkest moments of my life, when hope felt like a distant memory and loneliness crept in like an unshakable shadow, I found salvation in the unlikeliest of places—a short-lived battle royale game called Radical Heights. Back in 2018, when the world felt like it was moving forward without me, I stumbled upon Radical Heights. It wasn’t just another game; it was an escape, a neon-soaked world of BMX bikes, over-the-top 80s aesthetics, and a chaotic, game-show-inspired battle for survival. It was different, and at a time when everything in my life felt monotonous and uninspired, different was exactly what I needed. The moment I dropped into my first match, something clicked. The quirky announcer, the rush of looting buildings filled with cash, the thrill of last-minute shootouts—it all felt alive. And for the first time in a long while, so did I. The game wasn’t perfect, but that was part of its charm. It was scrappy, rough around the edges, but bursting with personality—just like me, I suppose. And then, just as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. The servers shut down. The game, abandoned in the wake of its developer’s struggles, faded into memory. But what it gave me—the friendships, the joy, the proof that even in the bleakest moments, a spark of happiness could be found—that never left me. That’s why Radical Heights deserves another chance. Not just because it was a unique battle royale, but because it was more than a game. Bring back those Radical Heights

I used to play this game with my ex and while we haven’t been together for quite some time, we both found the game to be absolutely delightful for an arcadey battle Royale title. The money system is just fantastic and I really loved everything about this game.

This game cured my depression. I will do anything to play this game one last time. GoG please bring this game back, I beg you. Gone too soon, RIP Radical Heights.
That was one of the most fun BRs I've ever played. Nothing like being in an 80s game show, based in the future and fighting dudes on BMX bikes wearing mesh midriff shirts and fanny packs, while listening to 80s music. Almost like Skate or Die meets PUBG.... The weapons were fun, but had good mechanics. Movement was arcade-y, but felt fluid and normal. The graphics were good. The textures were retro. The announcer, mid-round mini game(giant spin wheel), and map design really made this game fun and unique. If there was any game I'd want to revive and play with my friends again, it would be this one.

This was the first battle royal game I got first place in, and I did it while streaming on twitch. It was great and made me so happy, since then i've won plenty of times in other BR games but it was so amazing to get the "best around" theme to play.

This game was short lived but was it awesome, never was given a true chance... Gameplay felt smooth, liked the aesthetic a d how you found unlocks in the world not just buying from a shop.... We need this game back, I need this game back
This game was a load bearing phenomenon in my life. I played it when it launched all the way to the bitter end. I was there when you could no longer fly around on bikes. When we put the moves on them, outsmarting opponents at every burger town and burgertown. I spun and won many times. I played for 14 hours straight when it came out. This game hooked me into at least three long lasting IRL friendships that persist to this day. Those heights will always be radical.

Some Battle Royal games encourage players to be sneaky, stealthy, and SWEATY. Contrast that with Radical Heights, which rewards you with fabulous prizes for taking a DANCE BREAK! Running around is too slow? Hop on a sick BMX and do some radical jumps! The vibe for this game was unbelievably fun and amazing; from the outfits, to the announcer, to the set colors, it was like the next evolution of Smash TV. I cannot express how much more fun it was to die in this game than it was trying to win in any other!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Heretic
HereticThree brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders. While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.

Combat Lynx
Combat LynxThis is probably the most comprehensive 'real-time' battle simulation program ever written for a home computer. It can be played on a simple level as a 'shoot-them-up' game, or a more stealthy player can make use of the intelligence map to locate and destroy selected targets. The most skilled players will be able to protect their bases with mines, support forward bases under attack with air cover and fresh troops, and also intercept and destroy enemy vehicles (land and air) while in flight between bases. A game could last five seconds or five hours depending on the dexterity and tactical skill of the player.

Dragon Breed
Dragon BreedThe player's character is a human who rides a large, green, flying Chinese-style dragon. The dragon is invincible, capable of blocking most enemy projectiles and damaging enemies on contact; the human, however, is not, but is armed with a forward-firing crossbow. The dragon's body is flexible and responds to the player's movement, enabling the player to use the dragon as a mobile shield or as a whip-like weapon. You can also circle the tail around a group of enemies to kill them. The tail of the yellow or blue dragon can be coiled around the player to offer almost complete invulnerability for a limited time. The dragon can also spit fireballs. By holding the fire button down, the dragon will build up fire in its mouth; the longer the button is held down, the more powerful the fireball will be. There are four levels of fireball power; at its strongest, the fireball resembles a dragon's head. The game also contains some platforming elements - the human is able to dismount on horizontal platforms. Power-ups can be acquired by shooting small green dragons that appear intermittently throughout the levels, or they can be collected from the ground on foot. There are four different power-ups, each of which provides a different weapon to the dragon. Collecting multiple power-ups of the same colour makes that weapon more powerful. The dragon changes colour depending upon which power-up has been collected. Red enables the dragon to breathe a flame. The flame gets longer if more power-ups are collected. Yellow enables the dragon's body to fire crescents in all directions. White enables the dragon to produce up to four miniature dragons, which home in on enemies. Blue enables the dragon to fire downward bolts of electricity from its underside.
