Story:Tenchu Z is an action-adventure stealth video game.
It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru.Show more

Tenchu Z, while not officially related to Sekiro, is basically a proto-spiritual-predecessor to that game, and I love it! The fact that I could create a Ninja Duo to do Mission-styled levels was amazing, and I'm still upset that it's locked to the Xbox 360 to this day! Please make this happen, GOG! You will have an instant "Shut up and take my money!" situation with me if you do!
This is the only title I've played out of the franchise so far; it holds pretty well to this day personally and I actually didn't know there were more titles until I found out about them online and I thought that was awesome, I'd be over the moon if this title and the rest of them were released on GOG because I want to give the other titles a crack for sure.
Got it on xbox 360 recently. Having played the entire Tenchu series on ps1/ps2, this title looked dreamlike. Never have I seen so many mechanics that perfectly fit the ninja fantasy. It was a pretty difficult find at the time, so I settled for other stealth titles that were equally as wonderful, like Splinter Cell & MGS. Having played it now, I can say it is hands down a gem! We should all be able to play this game for the sake of preservation and keeping the fanbase alive.

Jurassic WarJurassic War is another real-time strategy of its age. There are many similar strategies which are mostly much better, however this one use some different approach, which makes the game worth trying. The game mechanic is pretty simple and even sometimes it is quite hard to make your units do whatever they should do. They mostly disobey especially in a crowded areas but it is quite normal for such games.
This game has a quite different approach compared to the classic strategy line. Your main resource is food, which is not harvested in some sort but your units must hunt the wild animals to collect it.
Collected food must be brought to the food storage. You can build a different buildings in this game, you train a builder for a food who can build the requested building or fight your foes in the meantime. There are plenty of factions, every one with some special ability. Your army consists basically of dinosaurs and humans and everyone gets improved over time so it is good to train some special soldiers in your army who will be better that 10 rookies. Dinosaurs are tougher, but humans can collect numerous objects and use them as a weapons. (such as shields, stones, spears, bows, magical talismans and much more.)

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Trending Fantasy Science fiction
