I always played this game with my cousin. We used to play custom maps for hours on end when we were younger. I have only fond memories of this game and that's without having played the campaign once - that's why I'd love to have it on GoG; to relive those memories and to finally play the campaign.

Ah, all those custom maps and nights while blasting emo songs. The OG DotA before it got Gigabytes of graphics. Still want to play this on a handheld pc one day. With the technology we have today and GoG, one can wish for that day to happen. Plus, it's easier to get this here.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne isn't just a DLC — it’s a masterclass in how to expand upon a beloved game without compromising its core. Released in 2003, this expansion to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos elevated everything: story, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer depth, and modding tools. It took an already legendary RTS and pushed it into the stratosphere. The campaign alone is worth the price of admission. It continues the dark, emotional tale of Arthas and his descent into becoming the Lich King — one of the most iconic villain arcs in gaming history. But beyond the narrative, The Frozen Throne introduced new units, heroes, and gameplay strategies for each faction, enriching the meta and making competitive matches even more dynamic and intense. It also played a crucial role in shaping modern gaming. Thanks to the robust World Editor, The Frozen Throne gave rise to custom maps like Defense of the Ancients (DotA) — the mod that launched the MOBA genre. Without this expansion, there might never have been League of Legends or Dota 2. Releasing this expansion on GOG would preserve a pivotal part of PC gaming history in a DRM-free, accessible format. With proper support for modern systems and the original art and gameplay intact — not the altered Reforged version — GOG could give both old-school fans and new players the definitive way to experience one of the greatest DLCs ever made.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.
