Pong is the beginning of gaming.... He must be on GOG and free^^ (for a short period of time of course!!) Every gamer should try it even for once. May the game be with you!

This is interesting! I realise a port will always be a simulation of how it played back then, and will not give the vibe of that special arcade hall from memory, or in the back of a family restaurant, putting in coins and pushing physical buttons. But still, it would be so fun to get a feel of how it played back then, whether it was sluggish or not, had delay or not. More of a scientific project, really ^^ What a gimmick that would be to find on GoG as a stand-alone!

ParaWorld
ParaWorldThe game-concept is similar to "Age of Empires", which is a real-time strategy game. ParaWorld features food, wood, and stone as resources. Food can be picked from bushes, hunted from animals, fished from the sea, or farmed. Stone is located in limited deposits, and wood, cut from trees, is generally scattered throughout a map. Battles can occur on both land and sea. The story takes place in a parallel dimension, where prehistoric life thrives alongside diverse human civilizations that are not technologically advanced. As a result, dinosaurs take the place of traditional wildlife and livestock, though some of the dinosaurs in-game are highly stylized and not necessarily scientifically accurate. Wild-living dinosaurs can be hunted for food, though some are of dangerous and aggressive species and will attack any player unit that wanders too close. Other prehistoric creatures make an appearance as well, for example woolly mammoths are used where other games might feature elephants. Players advance through epochs in order to unlock new technologies and upgrades.

Tetris: The Grand Master
Tetris: The Grand MasterThe first entry in the Tetris: The Grand Master sub-series, this game plays similarly to other Tetris games, but rather than merely expecting the player to survive indefinitely, it challenges the player to attain the highest level and score they can in the shortest amount of time. The Grand Master series introduced several play mechanics to Tetris gameplay which can be seen today in its sequels and many other Tetris implementations.

Death with even harsher speed, garbage, and levels beyond 999). It also features World and Classic Rules, the former added by Arika due to The Tetris Company's recent policy changes.

Gangland
GanglandOne hot night in Palermo, Italy, a terrible fight broke out in one of the streets of the old town. The sound of gunfire, screams, and yelling filled the night air; the next morning Chico Mangano was found, shot dead, on the pavement. A gun was located close to the scene and with the evidence of two eyewitnesses; the conclusion was that three of Chico’s brothers, Romano, Angelo, and Sonny were responsible for the murder; Police began an intensive manhunt to find the three brothers but failed. They had vanished. Two years passed on the small Mediterranean island and one day Grandpa Mangano received a phone call from far away.The call was from his eldest son, Vincenzo Mangano, who had left Sicily decades ago. Vincenzo said that the three brothers had been seen alive and well in the same city that Vincenzo lived. Grandpa Mangano dispatched his fifth grandson to start working for Vincenzo, and then, when he was strong and powerful, to hunt down and kill the three murderous brothers. He sent him to America, to Paradise City. Gangland is very unique game that combines many different genres. The mix of such a divergent themes works surprisingly well and give the player a vast selection of options when trying to outplay the opposing families. In addition, the developers did an excellent job in creating a gangster movie-like atmosphere with corrupted cops, ruthless mobsters, and deceiving women. This is a game where crime pays - and it pays a lot.
