I can not vote for this game enough. This is such a strange pointy clicky adventure story. I have played this so many times and still everytime it reminds me how weird this game was. I loved it as a kid and would love to be able to play it again and again.

A great, absurdist adventure game with interesting puzzles, entertaining voice performances and sound, and charmingly weird cartoon pixel art. Absolutely deserves to be enjoyed by present audiences.
This Game is a great childhood game of mine ! My father and myself would play it all night and all over the weekend ! For years we have been searching for it, please bring it to gog :)
Woodruff was one of my first PC games and I played it over and over again. I love the humor of the game and the puzzles that think outside the box. Please bring it to GOG-I'd love to play it again!

The Gobliiins series was great, and Woodruff was a phenomenal successor to it, so I would love to be able to get it and play it on GOG, like a normal human being.

Woodruff war das mit abstand prägendste Spiel in meiner Jugend. Wie oft ich es damals gespielt habe und wie viele Stunden ich damit verbracht habe. Es sind einfach so viele schöne Erinnerungen. Die Dialoge und der Art style kann man nur feiern! Ich hatte das Glück, mir dieses Spiel in der originalen Box, in einem sehr guten Zustand kaufen zu können (dabei hat Geld keine rolle gespielt), dies steht jetzt geschützt in meiner Retro Vitrine mit vielen anderen alten Gaming Perlen, leider funktioniert es bei den heutigen Systemen nicht mehr, umso mehr würde ich mich freuen, wenn Ihr diese Retro Perle mit Eurer liebe zu alten Games, ein neues Leben schenken würdet! Vielen dank für diese Möglichkeit und vielen dank für Euer Engagement!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake. MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them. Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning. Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.
