Would love a proper PS1 decompiled port. The steam version is a terrible incomplete pc port that looks bad and has a ton of bugs and incomplete assets. Seeing the original version from the PS1 properly ported and remastered on PC would be incredible.

I would love to see this game on GOG because for me it is the one that got away. It is the first Final Fantasy game I ever played and I did it on the PS 1, as I did not have a PC then. I was close to finishing it when my nephew erased my memory card. I started it again a little while later as I was pissed off. I made it to the second disc of my second playthrough when that same memory card was borrowed/taken by the same nephew and I never saw it again. On the third and final time I attempted the game I made through disc one and then I sold the system and made the move to PC. I would love a chance at redemption. Please, don't forget the soundtrack and other goodies if possible. Hopefully, GOG wont stop there and other Final Fantasy/Square Enix games will follow.

I would like this game on GOG so we'd have a version *without* the silly antiquated online login of the Steam version that effectively locks you out of your own game when there's a sale and there's too much people trying to get in. It's FF7. It's single player. Please. Japanese version would be appreciated, too.

Some people say FF6 was the best, but, in my opinion, this one takes everything good about the sixth and adds a soundtrack and pre-rendered backgrounds to the mix, improving the charm and the atmosphere to a legendary status.

My gateway game to the JRPG Genre, please bring this to GOG so it can be properly preserved. Future generations deserve to experience this masterpiece as well.

I know several people who are obsessed with this title but I never had the chance to play myself. It would be great to try it and save it for future generations. I wrote it on FFVII but appears on DUNE page as well, cool! Good bye! Nice work!

Je n'en ai pas, n'ayant jamais fait le jeu moi-mĂȘme. Mais je me suis intĂ©ressĂ© et c'est indĂ©niablement l'un des tout plus grand rpg de l'histoire du jeu vidĂ©o mondiale donc oui, ça me paraĂźt indispensable qu'il soit lĂ , mĂȘme dans l'intĂ©rĂȘt de GOG.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
