When my family first got a computer in the mid-late 90's, it came with two games: Tyrian (already in GoG) and Risk: The Game of Global Domination. I have memories playing with my dad and seeing how amazed he was to see this game on the computer screen. I became obsessed with the Ultimate Risk mode. I would choose a color to play with a specific country's flag and then think of it as an alternate history game and I was only 11. Since then the CD has been lost after several moves and I haven't been able to find a way to play it in almost 20 years. I would be very appreciative if it were added to GoG's catalog.
This was by far the best version of Risk ever made. I'd pay modern day AAA game prices to have it back. The fact that even if you can find a version of it the game would still be unplayable on modern systems is an actual travesty.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Yuri's RevengeThe game begins with a presidential briefing in the White House concerning Yuri and how he has begun his take over of the world through mind control. Yuri interrupts the briefing to explain how he plans to take over the world, telling the American President Michael Dugan that he has a network of Psychic Dominators around the world, which he is now beginning to reveal. One of Yuri's Psychic Dominators is on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, which Yuri activates just before ending his transmission to the White House. The President immediately calls in an airstrike on the device, but all the attacking aircraft were shot down, although one crashes into the nuclear reactor on the island, causing the device to lose power and to not function. Despite this, Yuri activates his other Psychic Dominators around the world and the majority of the planet quickly succumbs to Yuri's mind-control.

Supaplex
SupaplexSupaplex is the first Boulder Dash-like game that is not fully grid-based: while the playing field is an obvious grid, the objects do not "snap" from one grid position to another, but can be halfway or "in between" grid positions. Supaplex introduces a number of new elements that were not present in Boulder Dash, including bugs, pieces of base that randomly cause a life threatening electrostatic discharges, Ports, which limit Murphy's movement to specific directions, and terminals, which set off yellow Utility Disks. Utility Disks are explosive floppy disks and come in three different colors: Orange Disks work like Zonks, but explode when hit or when falling. Yellow Disks do not fall yet may be pushed in any direction, and explode when the Terminal is used. Red Disks can be carried and dropped when convenient, exploding seconds after.
