Characters' move lists have been vastly updated and four new characters have been added to the fighting roster, with returns from a couple of past characters as well. The counter system has been tightened, making the window for counters shorter and more difficult to execute, and the amount of damage that counters inflict has been changed.Show more

One of my favourite games of all time. From Aerosmith opening with 'Eat The Rich,' to the final scene with the DOATEC towers coming down to the tune of 'Amazing,' and everything in-between, this game is perfection. The graphics look gorgeous to this day nearly 20 years later, the gameplay is fast, fluid and responsive, and right now, it's one of the few games that keeps my old XBox 360 plugged in. The difficulty is fine-tuned, to the point where the boss Alpha-152 makes you want to pull your hairs out in the best ways, there's a wealth of fun extra modes, and really, it deserves a PC port for the native 4K graphics options. It was a platinum seller back in the day, and it stands a chance to really shine again.
To answer that question as quickly as possible, I'll ignore the intrinsic qualities of the series since the first opus, with which you're all very familiar: charismatic characters, charming damsels, intuitive counter technique, explosive arenas and high-resolution Arcade graphics.

Emulating this is a pain and I personally would really like an official release of this game!!! Please make it happen!! Games such as these gems deserve to be preserved and made playable on modern hardware!

This game and DOA3 NEED to come back. The duo is PERFECTION when it comes to fighting games. They're trapped into Xbox systems and many players were never able to enjoy them. I would buy it day one if it appeared on GOG, and would buy copies for all my friends. Make it happen, GOG!

The incredible defenders of the Digital World have grown bored and peace brings no satisfaction. A world without chaos has extinguished the driving force behind their existence – to Digivolve. To pacify the growing unrest, a proposal was made... “Let us gather all Digimon who seek to Digivolve and hold a tournament to crown the strongest of them all!” And so began, the “Digimon Evolution Tournament.” A tournament of Digi-monumental proportions.

Bug Riders: The Race of Kings
Bug Riders: The Race of KingsThe King of Entymion, Leptus, is about to die. Rather than hold elections or keep the tradition of primogeniture, the next king will be chosen with a race. Not just any race, but a race in which the participants ride on giant bugs. Choose from 22 different contestants, each with unique racing styles and weapon, and try to be the first to the finish line on six tracks. If finishing first is a little too tough, make your bug go faster by using your riding crop. But be careful, or your bug will quit running for you. For those looking for a less-than-honest way to win, collect power-ups and weapons scattered throughout the track to blow past your opponents or blast them out of the sky. And don't forget to keep your eyes open for the shortcuts in each track. Do you have the nerve and the skill to win the Great Race? Play BUG RIDERS: The Race of Kings and find out.
