When I was very young, I can't remember when, I used to visit family abroad and when we went to the beach there, we would sometimes go down to the arcade there and play Sunset Riders. It was my brother, my cousins and I and the 4-player arcade version was perfect for us. We would play so much, but we were so bad at it. Then, after the first time we had played it on arcade, my dad bought the game for our Sega Mega Drive and my brother and I loved playing the game as much as possible. We played co-op, versus, single player taking turn. We finished the game several times and we had our favorite characters from the go. Billy was my favorite and my brother would play Cormano, no questions asked. Always like that. We would try different difficulties, try different ways of playing the game. It wasn't our favorite, but for some reason, it's the one I most associate with having fun with my brother. To this day I listen to the music of that game and feel a tug in my heart, thinking back at the days when I would play this game with my brother, having the best fun ever. Having this game again would be amazing, especially if there was the chance of playing it online with my brother, since we live far from each other. I believe this game never got the love it deserved and perhaps a new generation of gamers would appreciate it more.
My Grandmother had a super nintendo at her house for us to play on when we spend weekends there. I wasn't very good at anything, but we used to play this alot.

After classes, high school, a friend and I would would play an arcade in a bar. We spent a lot of coins on that machine! After a while, I would end the game with just a coin. The bar has changed, the owner is not the same, the friend moved away from town, but everytime I pass nearby I hear a YAAYEEH, and remember those [always] summer days. Vote for this GOG!
This was one of my favourite games to play growing up. I can't even imagine how many hundreds if not thousands of hours I dumped into this game on my SNES and old tube TV.

Turrican II: The Final Fight
Turrican II: The Final FightTurrican II: The Final Fight is a platformer/shooter as typically seen on consoles, but designed for home computers from the ground up. Its plot is - naturally - very simple: an evil mega-robot called The Machine attacks the United Planets Ship Avalon 1, slaughtering all who resist. All - except Bren McGuire, who manages to escape and slips into the experimental Turrican bionic armor. As Turrican, he strives to show The Machine who's the boss. Unlike other games of its type, this game contains three levels of horizontal shooter action in the spirit of R-Type or the developers' own Katakis. Six large worlds are to be explored, where you are basically free to go everywhere you want, since there is no automatic scrolling and the levels are packed with hidden extra lives and weapons. All those levels are very different: the first one in the rock desert is pretty colorful with parallaxing rainbow background and happy music, while the following worlds get darker and darker.

Barbarian
BarbarianWelcome to the world of Barbarian. In this world you control our hero "Hegor". Once the game has started you will see him standing in the marsh. Using the mouse, jouystick or keyboard (or all three simultaneously) you issue commands that control his actions. Thus enabling you to explore the world of Durgan. You should always remember that Barbarian features context sensitive animation which allows the same commands to do different things depending on the situation Hegor is involved in. In order to complete the game you must locate and destroy the crystal which is the source of the evil power of Necron. Once the crystal has been destroyed the volcano in which Durgan is located will start to erupt making it imperative that you reach the surface again before it blows.
