Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.102
It was simple, it was clunky, it was barely understandable. It was one of the first (if not THE first) games I played by myself. It gave me a crash-course on history even with me hardly understanding any English back then. It taught me challenge, despair and success. Solving logic puzzles in this game made me actually score better on an IQ test (!!!)
No game since has ever been able to repeat the experience I had with this game: gaining real life skills and knowledge while playing a video game. There were some incredible people behind this that knew how to make an educational game actually work.
I now play this game with my children - let this be a testament to how impactful it is.
This is a forgotten (given the number of votes) classic, that NEEDS to be preserved on GOG, as it is still as good as it was on release and the engagement and educational value hasn't changed one bit.

OverlordOverlord is an action role-playing video game set in an alternate world, where the player takes the role of a resurrected warrior known as "The Overlord" who has control over hordes of gremlin-like creatures known as "Minions". The player must defeat seven corrupt ruling heroes in order to reconquer the lands and establish his lordship over its inhabitants. The game features a corruption feature, similar to that of the Fable games, but allowing the player to "be evil... or really evil", where certain actions and choices affect different aspects of the story and gameplay. While the Overlord is controlled in a third person perspective, the way minions are controlled brings elements of real-time strategy and upgrades bring those of role-playing games. The game uses dark humour, and is a satirical parody of the traditional fantasy setting and plotAction Fantasy Comedy Science fiction
