This was the 1st 3d graphical Realtime Strategy/RPG I ever played and the one that hooked me on this whole genre. Still have the original 3 CD set with the instruction Manual that was purchased in 1999 and could be installed on either a Windows or Mac computer. I was just getting started in graphic design and at the time was only Mac based. The CD has both I & II and IMO was one of the best games that BUNGIE produced. It was rated Real-Time game of the year by PC Gamer, Computer Games Strategy Plus, and Computer Gaming World. Unfortunately, I am unable to play the game from the CDs on the current versions of Windows and you guys are so great at updating and getting these great old games to work on the new platforms.
One of the best games I ever played. World building, storytelling, the general style of the game hooked me up. Brutal history of a desperate conflict unfolding in scenarios where you are always at a disadvantage. Gameplay is fun as hell. Blasting a bunch of thralls with a bomb feels so good.
I would love to play it again on a modern pc, and relive the dreadful adventure of Myth.
For me it was a series of an unparallel story telling. Nothing even close amongst the titles available nowadays. Furthermore great game mechanics, simple and yet very demanding with a good difficulty level. All that sprinkled with a nice and somewhat grim sense of humor. All maps were by far not straightforward and quite diverse with limited resources at hand. One juggled amongst a couple of unit types with very well defined specialisations, sets formations and tactics to face particular types of enemies. In this aspect I must mention the that these games one could play as RTS or in some more tactical level with commands assigned during a "pause-menu screen". Yes, the commands were not disabled :). If you like RTS here you go. If you like tactics use the pause. Just brilliant :) These are also one of very few games that I have played more than two times and two is for me the usual top of my patience-Nostalgia level.
I know the graphics is somewhat vintage but should still sit well amongst the pixel-freindly customer base. To my understanding the games were made for Windows 95 in mind so a dosbox wrapper is no go and the conversion will be a challenge. On top of that these were using some weird 3D animation approach for units that was not easy to adopt to modern PC-s but GoG has managed far more difficult taks. Please bring this game series to GoG :)
When everyone else was saying commands and conquer I was more into fantasy themed games. I found a physical copy of this and fell in love. Sadly the physical copy will not run on modern hardware and I would love to play it again

Battalion Wars 2This sequel to Battalion Wars plays much like its predecessor, blending real-time strategy with third-person shooting. The game's plot traces decades of war among six factions (Solar Empire, Western Frontier, Anglo Isles, Iron Legion, Tundran Territories, Xylvania), and unfolds through contemporary missions that advance the conflict and flashback missions that reveal its history.
Players control a soldier or a land, sea, or air vehicle to engage in combat directly and to command other units. The Wii Remote is used to target and fire, but selecting and ordering units is performed through conventional button presses. The Wii Nunchuk's thumbstick controls player movement, and evasive maneuvers are handled through gestures.
In the single-player campaign mode, the player assumes control of the various factions at different points in the conflict's history. The game also features three online multiplayer modes. Skirmish mode is a timed two-player match to score more points than the other player by destroying opposing units. Assault mode is a timed two-player match in which one player attempts to destroy the other player's resources and fortifications while the other defends. Co-Op mode is an untimed two-player match in which both players work together to complete special online missions that are not part of the single-player campaign. Offline local multiplayer is not supported.Action Warfare

Library of Ruina"May you find your book in this place."
Roland, a low-grade Fixer from a location known only as the City, one day finds himself transported into the foyer of the titular Library, a mysterious location filled with books on any subject one could think of. He soon meets the Head Librarian Angela, and after a brief scuffle, she decides to spare him and recruits him to be her guide on the outside world. Angela has a strange way of going about it though, as she sends out calling cards called Invitations to ask people to come to the Library and gives them a choice in whether they accept or decline. If the guests accept, they must survive mortal combat against the Librarians that guard the building; if they win, they can take any book they want. If they lose, they will become a book themselves. All of this is in service to Angela's goal — gaining the one "perfect" book that can make her into a human.Action Horror
