This is am amazing game that taught me a lot about geography, history, and 80s geopolitics. We need a version for 2025 on GOG, which would be a total blast.

Listen up Gumshoe!. I can't believe that such a classic game is not on GOG. I played this game when I was kid, and I thought that the illustrations looked so realitic (compared to 8 bit system). I would really want to get this game. In fact we need all of the Where in... collection.

I have started many games, many times. But I have not started as many times as this one. Back then I was too young and didn't know enough English to properly play the game, I still try a new game every now and then with old emulators and abandonware sites.
The entire Carmen Sandiego series needs to come to gog as part of the gog preservation program in all their original glory! These great games need to be presented and preserved in their original format so players new and old can enjoy them for many years to come! No updates or enhancements, please!
This game had the best copy protection ever. It shipped with a 900 page World Almanac and expected you to USE it! What does the flag of Albania look like? Which country has the anthem "Amhrán na bhFiann"? Where is the Volga river? These were things you had to look up in a BOOK!
Those games also need your vote!

Final Fantasy VFinal Fantasy V is a fantasy role-playing video game developed and published by Square in 1992 as a part of the Final Fantasy series. The game first appeared only in Japan on Nintendo's Super Famicom (known internationally as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System). It has been ported with minor differences to Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. An original video animation produced in 1994 called FINAL FANTASY: Legend of the Crystals serves as a sequel to the events depicted in the game. It was released for the PlayStation Network on April 6, 2011, in Japan. An enhanced port of the game, with new high-resolution graphics and a touch-based interface, was released for iPhone and iPad on March 28, 2013, and for Android on September 25, 2013. FINAL FANTASY V has been praised for the freedom of customization that the player has over the characters, achieved through the greatly expanded Job System. Despite being released only in Japan, the Super Famicom version sold more than two million copies. The PlayStation version has earned "Greatest Hits" status, selling more than 350,000 copies.

Shining Force
Shining ForceShining Force is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.
