Rules are simple: Post 5 games. Explain why they're good enough to get on GoG.

1: Throne of Darkness

Sierra already has a bunch of games on here, but I notice this particular game is missing. A Diablo-like Isometric loot-them-up, this game is slightly unique in that you can have a whole party of characters. It's a little less deep than Diablo or even Sacred is, but is really fun nonetheless.

2: Mini-car Racing

Not many people know of this game. It's made by a studio that really doesn't get much cred; the only other game I can think of they do is a game called Eggburt. Regardless, Mini-Car Racing took the basic mechanics of Rock and Roll Racing and IMO improved upon them. The racing gets real intense, the tracks can be rather brilliant, and the weapons are all kinds of fun. A game I would LOVE to play again.

3: Diablo

I know Blizzard is a bit iffy with their IP, but it's a pure shame that Diablo, for the old game that it is, isn't sold anywhere that can make it run good on newer systems. This game needs hardly any introduction, being the game that popularized an entire genre. Not likely to happen, but I do wish Blizzard would consider selling their older games SOMEWHERE, and GoG would be preferable with that because they would make them work pretty damn neat.

4: SimCity 3000

IMO the best SimCity has ever been. I'm not sure why this isn't on here, to be honest, or actually ANYWHERE. SimCity 2000 and SimCity 4 are on everything, but SimCity 3000 goes missing. It's basically SimCity 2000 but much less dated. IMO the superior game.

5: SimPark

Again, another Maxis game missing from the list. This time it makes sense: this game is a bit unknown. Regardless, I consider it a classic, blending well-made edutainment with a pretty good simulation system not too far from SimCity. What sets this game apart though is the idea that you have to LEARN about the animals and plants you put in your park, as well as the normal bits of keeping the guests happy with your park. A true, underrated classic of a Maxis game, in my opinion.

I'm leaving out huge and obvious games such as The Elder Scrolls and such in favor of giving some perhaps lesser-known games attention. In no particular order, here are my five:

1. Cloudbuilt

It's an awesome parkour game with a great sense of speed. If you mashed Mirror's Edge, the modern levels from Sonic Generations, and Mega Man together this is what you would get.

2. Rocket League

Though I haven't played Rocket League itself, I loved the PS3-exclusive that came before it, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. It's like football/soccer with fast little cars that can sort of fly. It's awesome.

3. Orcs Must Die!

This game and its sequel are both really fun defense games where you place traps and use your own abilities to kill waves of monsters. Turning levels into death machines is fun!

4. Lego Series

I absolutely love Lego games, and ever since GOG got the first Lego Batman and both Lego Harry Potter games I've been hoping to see the rest show up. Lego Worlds also looks like it could be really cool. Lego games are simple and generally easy, but they're loads of fun.

5. Viscera Cleanup Detail

As weird as it may be, I really enjoy this game. Being a janitor in this game is fun, and I don't really know why. You get to go into the aftermath of gruesome events and clean up all the gore and whatever else is left behind. It's sort of relaxing, and it feels great to look at a room you've cleaned and know that without your work it would still be covered in blood and giblets.

6. Cook, Serve, Delicious!

I know the rules say five games, but I have to squeeze this one in. Cook, Serve, Delicious! is an awesome, challenging game that should definitely be on GOG. It's a lot of fun, and things can get pretty crazy as you go on. It's not a casual game, it's not mobile shovelware, and yes I am still upset that GOG allegedly rejected it.

1. Doom / Quake series
2. Diablo / Warcraft series
3. Lemmings
4. Castle of Illusion / Ducktales remastered
5. Ripley's Believe It or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu.

1. Bloodwych
2. Bloodwych
3. Bloodwych
4. Bloodwych
Oh, and did I mention:
5. Bloodwych

1. <span class="bold">Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain</span> (1996)

This game needs to be freed from the license limbo it's stuck in, as all the other games in the series (owned by a different publisher) are already sold here, and the story is incomplete without it. It's also quite different than the rest, but for me the top-down action puzzle gameplay makes it particularly attractive. I played the demo back in the days but never got a chance to play the whole thing.

2. <span class="bold">Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures</span> (1993)

The whole D&D Goldbox collection belongs on GOG, but I favor this one in particular, as it was a tool to create and run your own D&D Goldbox-style adventures with, long before Neverwinter Nights (which was inspired by it, in a way). The engine was the most advanced of all the Goldbox games and there's a small but still active community for the game, too, who modded the engine, improved the graphics and created tons of top quality and freely downloadable community modules. Too few people actually know about this or even have the possibility to play them, because FRUA isn't sold anymore.

3. <span class="bold">Dark Sun: Shattered Lands</span> (1993)

Another of the old D&D games that I'd really like to see here. There aren't that many CRPGs that used this combination of top-down exploration and turn-based combat (like Albion and Knights of the Chalice), but I think it works really well. And it's not your average high fantasy setting, which is a plus in my book, too. I've never played through it, but what I've seen from it was fun and I could definitely imagine playing through it now. (It might have suffered from a few bugs though, IIRC.)

4. <span class="bold">The Neverhood</span> (1996)

Especially since we get Armikrog here now. Admittedly I hardly know anything about this game, except that it's a point-and-click adventure with a weird claymation setting and a cult following, but that's enough for me already to become interested in it.

5. <span class="bold">Noone Lives Forever</span> (2000)

An acclaimed classic shooter with a kick ass heroine that is not on GOG is an outrage. I mean, we even have Bloodrayne here, so c'mon! Besides, I never played it.

1. Blade Runner
2. System Shock
3. Discworld Noir
4. Oni
5. Max Payne

Also, GOG needs to get Severance: Blade of Darkness, XIII and the Fallout games back. And in before the first one says Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines (which I didn't list for only one reason; because I already got it DRM-free from DotEmu, when it was still available):

1. Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

One of the first RPGs for a home computer. This game influenced many games and the series was so popular in Japan that many Wizardry spinoffs and Wizardry-like games were made there (Elminage Gothic is one example). Game may not be that long, but it is a classic and worth playing for historical reasons. Note that the Wizardry Archives version has a bug that causes stats to drop too frequently when leveling up, so gog.com should choose one of the other versions instead. It would make sense to bundle this game with at least 2 and 3 and maybe 4 and 5 as well.

2. Wizardry 4: The Return of Werdna

A rather unique RPG. In Wizardry 1, your mission is to kill the evil wizard Werdna and retrieve his amulet. In Wizardry 4, you are Werdna, and *you want your amulet back*. In this game, you summon monsters at pentagrams who will fight with you against do-gooders, much like classic Wizardry style except that you are on the monster's side. This game has a reputation for being extremely difficult, with a tricky puzzle in the first room, a floor filled with invisible mines, enemies that cast a spell that is a guaranteed game over (until much later), a floor filled with spinners and fake doors, a floor where the walls move when you step on the floors around them, and even a 3d maze with even more traps. Then, once you escape the dungeon, the game isn't over yet (although it is fun slaughtering innocents with an army of Greater Demons and other monsters). 5 endings.

3. Oubliette

An RPG that predates Wizardry. One interesting feature is its unusual level up mechanic: Instead of experience points, you instead have a chance to qualify for a level up anytime you kill or are killed. Races have different age limits and leveling rates. Classes that are good early game are not the ones that are good late game, so changing your party mid-game is a good idea.

4. Eryi's Action

I've only played the first level of the demo version (and entered the second), but I enjoyed what I played. At the surface, the game looks like a Mario-inspired game with a nice art style and nice music, but the game is filled with traps. Just walking forward, spikes popped up and killed you. Jump over a pit, invisible block, OOPS! Level cleared, nope! a spiked ball just fell and killed you. (The end of the first level is actually an interesting puzzle.)
If you've played Syoban Action, you will find that Eryi's Action is clearly inspired by it. You can even end up with a negative number of lives!
The game may look like a platformer, but it's really a puzzle game, where the puzzle is avoiding all the invisible traps that will try to kill you. On your first playthrough, you *will* die a lot, as by the time you see a trap, it's too late to avoid it.
As a final note, even when you think you're safe, the game will still find ways to kill you.
Note that not everyone will appreciate a game like this: I recommended Syoban Action to a friend, and he couldn't get into it. (If you don't like Syobon Action, Eryi's Action isn't the game for you.)

5. Cthulhu Saves the World

I haven't played this, but it looks like an interesting classic-styled JRPG developed by a western developer. Typically packed with Breath of Death VII, which is a similar game.

This. And this.

Aside from those, I'd mostly like to see some "last gen" titles here, such as the Castlevania: Lords of Shadows games, Sega's Viking, Mirror's Edge... maybe Dead Space. There's many good AAA titles which could be considered "old" by now, and I don't see why EA, Ubisoft etc. don't bring them here -- it's not like they'll still sell many copies of those games elsewhere. ( Everyone else either bought DRM versions already or simply pirated those games years ago, so the DRM-free crowd remains as one of the last available markets for those titles. )

Also more games by Asian devs/developers would be great. Maybe in a year or two... or five, huh?

War Inc.
The Curse of Monkey Island
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Star Trek Armada 1 & 2
Emperor: Rise Of The Middle Kingdom

I would agree with most of the games stated, in particular the GoldBox games.

With regards to Diablo, just buy the CD version, I haven't had any problems playing the two (there is no third) Diablo games in any system, and if you pop on moddb and look at the awakening, the hell, median xl etc. there is a lot of good stuff. Plus you can pick up the game for a few quid. Although getting Hellfire is more difficult.

For the Warcraft, yes would like to see these here, though not the the World of rubbish.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Director's Cut
Do I really need to explain why? This game is a masterpiece, and when GOG already has the previous games in this series, it seems criminal NOT to include it. Plus if it's a success on here, it could teach Squeenix the value of DRM free.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game
An excellent game in it's own right, but more importantly it is in essence, Ghostbusters 3. So before hollywood completes it's ruination of the franchise, let's give it, and this game one last hurrah without DRM. Please?

Tron 2.0
A gorgeous and perfectly realised follow up to the original Tron movie, and one that would add some nice variety to Disney's gogalogue.

Spec Ops: The Line
Heavy, confronting and highly thought provoking. There are a lot of GOG users who appreciate a well written story and The Line contains some of the best storytelling in interactive fiction, period.

Ultra Street Fighter 4
Capcom's support here has been worse than any other signed publisher. With SF5 coming out soon, dropping USF4 on here would do well to flesh out the lacking Fighting roster on GOG and would be a really good fit for Galaxy.

1. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
2. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
3. Emperor - Battle for Dune (Dune 2 and Dune 2000 also)
4. Diablo + Expansion
5. StarCraft + Expension

These games under Windows 10 to install and get up running is just annoying. At 1-3 it is the copy protection and at 4 + 5 compatibility issues.

1. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (been reading about this lately and want it, may even have to track down a boxed copy of this.

2.Grand Prix Legends (Still the greatest racing sim ever. Even the licensing issues would be easy to overcome with this one- just replace the cars with a fantasy modset and call it "open wheel racer sim 1967" and anyone that wants could then just mod it with the accurate GPLEA cars themselves).

3.Flying Corp Gold (awesome old WW1 flight sim)

4.Mig Alley (same as Flying Corp but with jets in Korea)

5.Soldiers at War (WW2 "The Dirty Dozen" but with Jagged Alliance style turn basedgame play, very overlooked game)

no i don't
