This game was on demo disks both as a demo and as a trailer and the 10 year old me searching for new fantasy adventure games found this gem and was hooked forever. Spent many months playing this with my brother as we quested and replayed the main story over and over. To have this preserved with 4 player online support would be amazing as many of my friends ask us about this game as we won't stop talking about it still to this day. Gameplay is still fun though a bit dated but it's the memories you make with your friends as you get instant killed by a fire beetle or a bear mauls you over and over again and your friends need to bail you out of a tight jam. Please bring back one of the most underrated gems from the PS2 library and let the new generation experience everquest again.
I played this game since childhood and every time I bought it I could only play halfway because it had too much space for just one CD and I was never able to download it correctly from the internet and I would love to play the sequel again

Loved the sequel for this game, never got the chance to play this one, and nowadays it's hard to find a working PS2 copy where I live. Bringing this game to PC would allow easy access to me and many others.

This is and has always been one of my favorite fantasy games. I've tried to emulate it over the years but it never works quite right. I own both Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms. I even got a second pre-owned version just so I'd be able to keep a playable copy around. Out of every game I've ever seen remastered or remade this is the one I've always hoped for the most. I'd love to be able to play this game again.

dark alliance was fun but that one was even better we need it to come back such a classic. it just a better diablo but on console wish i could still play it . and you can play with 3 friend was realy a blast
I remember playing this when I was in my early teens long after the game's release. Frustrating at first, but then really enjoyable later when you get a bit more patient and start to learn more about enemies, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 were very good, but Champions and its sequel were, at least to me, just amazing in comparison. Really dated in some of its mechanics, but still enjoyable. Would really love being able to actually buy this one.

This PS2 title is the game that got me into gaming as a kid, besides N64 titles that I'd casually play. Champions is what developed my love for similar games such as Diablo, Path of Exiles, Grim Dawn and Baldur's Gate. Having Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms future proofed and playable on PC as an adult would be amazing.

This game was my go to for many years, even entering into the ps5 era I return to my ps2 to play this. I even managed to get my wife to play this alongside me. Still have my original Fat Aqua ps2 and both Champions games. Definitely would purchase this again and again if ported to pc and/or remastered with updated graphics.

Always played this with my childhood friend as a kid. Amazing game, especially the follow-up. After playing this one, we'd always wait for any news from Snowblind Studios. All games they developed with their inhouse engine were fun, alas only a few games were made. Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I and II, Champions of Norrath and CoN Return to Arms and a fifth unaffiliated game that went by rather unnoticed. After that the studio was acquired and their gates shut. Pity for it.
Dieses Spiel hat einfach eine Portierung auf PC verdient. Mehr braucht man dazu eigentlich nicht schreiben. War einer meiner meist gespielten A-RPGs auf der PS2

Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome
Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred TomeMakai Kingdom is the fourth Nippon Ichi-developed tactical RPG on PlayStation 2 and it follows closely in the footsteps of the previous games of the same style, which are Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, La Pucelle: Tactics and Phantom Brave. Lord Zetta, the king of Netherworld, tried to rewrite the history of the land but didn't succeed, and in the process brought demise onto himself. Three evil Overlords appeared before Zetta and promised to help him in his quest to take over the land once more. The player takes control of Zetta and his army to return Netherworld to its rightful owner. The game mechanics consist of several stages in which the player must defeat the enemy or fulfill other tasks to advance to the next level. Fighting is done in turns, meaning that once the player has moved and attacked, it's the enemy's turn to move his troops one by one. When the battle is won, the next level becomes selectable. Between fights, you can improve your squad of fighters by buying better weapons, recruiting more soldiers and so on.

La Pucelle Tactics
La Pucelle TacticsPrier and her brother Culotte are novices with the demon-hunting organization, La Pucelle. They've just passed their final exams and are ready to do real work fighting demons and zombies, but quickly find themselves embroiled in a series of plots orchestrated by a rival church with dark intentions. The gameplay is played on a tactical map, as teams up to six characters work to clear boards of enemies and dark energy. The unique "purify" command allows players to recruit monsters to their team and execute complex "miracle" energy attacks. The game was ported to the PlayStation Portable in Japan on November 26, 2009 as La Pucelle Ragnarok.
