Sacrifice

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: This was one of the best strategy games around at the time. It didn't sell well and getting multi-player was difficult, but the single-player campaign was worth it all on its own. Anyone who loves strategy even a bit should play Sacrifice.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obs...

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: Any game where I can play a completely sub-par character and still have a blast is great by me. Troika's demise was made more painful by them having produced such a game. This is truly one of the best RPGs of its time. Only Planescape tops it.

Fallout

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: You should play this, if you haven't, simply to see where Fallout all began... or did it? Fallout is actually a tribute to a game from a bygone era: Wasteland. Weep that you may never play it.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: This game is hilarious. You play 3 unique "races" (really more like characters or small groups) that function uniquely. Delphi was supposed to be topless and the blood was supposed to be red, maybe you can still have it this way... praise Google!

Gothic

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: I quit playing this game out of disgust, the controls were undocumented and obtuse. There was a sparse instruction card (mostly unhelpful), after puzzling out some ideas on how the controls worked I gave one of the most amazing RPGs a 2nd chance.

Heroes of Might and Magic® 2: Gold E...

orcishgamer's rating:

250

orcishgamer says: This is my favorite Heroes of M&M game, the music alone rates this game at 5 stars. If you play no other Heroes of M&M game, play this one.

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

orcishgamer says: This is the only time on this mix that I recommend more than one game from the same series. There is a reason for this and you should take heed, be a lumber jack again, baby!

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
