Something Different! - Games You May Have Skipped

GOGmix by Barneyhamster85's avatarBarneyhamster85 25votes

Nox™

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Of the myriad Diablo clones that came in the wake of Blizzard's trailblazing original, Nox is my favourite. Westwood Studios' trademark beautiful presentation mixed with exciting gameplay and a well told, yet campy story. At only $5.99 it's a steal.

Fragile Allegiance

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Welcome to the Tetracorp space-mining corporation! Play it your way! Be a peaceful businessman and trade with your friendly alien neighbours or develop missles and fleets of warships to crush the competition. A sadly overlooked strategy masterwork.

Deus Ex 2: Invisible War

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Unfairly lambasted just for following up a classic game. The original Deus Ex has aged TERRIBLY, but few are brave enough to admit it... The interface is tighter, the choices you make in-game have more impact and the gameplay is better. Give it a go.

Soulbringer

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: As a member of GOG.com you are spoiled for choice when it comes to CRPGs. Soulbringer has an interesting graphical style, great music and an engrossing storyline. It is truly charming and you - yes, you - should play it right now.

Disciples 2 Gold

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Disciples 2 isn't Age Of Wonders and it certainly isn't Heroes Of Might And Magic, but boy is it good! A beautifully dark graphical style which aged well, excellent soundtrack and that TBS action that you love. Sadly let down by a wonky storyline.

Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: AND SPEAKING OF HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC, here is the fourth in the series. Unfairly labelled as 'The Black Sheep' of the series, it is actually my favourite. Best music of the series, wonderfully written stories and fantastic gameplay all round.

Incoming + Incoming Forces

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Two games of mindless shooty fun for only $5.99. There are a few other games in the GOG.com catalogue that also match this description, but few that are as well polished and playable as the Incoming series.

Waxworks

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Waxworks is a deep and difficult graphic adventure/dungeon crawler which is mostly remembered for its gruesome, gory death scenes more than anything else. It is actually a very well made adventure, and those with strong stomachs should give it a go.

World Rally Fever: Born on the Road

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Anime graphics (before they were cool) and Team 17's trademark sense of wacky humour collide in this fantastic kart-racer. One of the best available on the PC platform.

Treasure Adventure Game

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: It's free, it looks amateurish; why should you bother to download this? Well, the game is charming and made with love that shines forth from every pixel. Draws inspiration from classic Metroidvania-style platformers, this one is a winner.

Capitalism Plus

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Capitalism Plus is deceptively fun and horribly addictive. Despite being a business simulator, the game is so detailed that you can lose yourself inside its cut-throat world for hours on end.

Colonization, Sid Meier's

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: You don't have to be an American to appreciate this wonderful game. Taught me more about American history than history class did and was disgustingly addictive fun to experience. Don't miss out on this gem of strategy gaming.

Cannon Fodder

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: More than just a fun shoot-em-up, Cannon Fodder manages to show all the folly of war for what it is; A senseless waste of life. Possibly the first example of the gaming medium being used to make a genuine artistic statement. See for yourself!

Robinson's Requiem Collection

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Robinson's Requiem is so ambitious in its scope, giving the player a massive living world to have to survive in using whatever you can scavenge. You'll be surprised at how much the game actually allows you to do!

Populous™ 2: Trials of the Olympian...

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Populous was a great game for its time, but it didn't age well due to a lack of features often reducing it to a 'land-flattening-simulator'. Populous 2 tweaked the formula enough to make it superb.

Creatures Exodus

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Often tossed aside as a 'kid's game', the third incarnation of the Creatures series is actually a very complex and rewarding life-simulation. If you enjoy tinkering with things with a great amount of freedom, this is the game for you.

Feeble Files, The

Barneyhamster85's rating:
250

Barneyhamster85 says: A great story with some memorable puzzle sequences and superb voice acting, this was sadly ignored at its launch and thanks to its unappealing main-character and stupid name, it will continue to be ignored. Fans of adventure games, give this a go.

Syndicate Wars™

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Syndicate Wars is my favourite of the two Syndicates. Apparently, I'm in a minority! This one feels more like a cohesive game than its predecessor and the cities that your corporation terrorize feel more alive. Check it out before you judge it.

Snapshot

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: There are too many "indie" puzzle platform games, right? Just one more wouldn't hurt though and Snapshot is a charming, sadly overlooked adorable puzzle-platformer from indie-devs who deserve your money.

King of Dragon Pass

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: Impossible to place within the confines of a genre, King Of Dragon Pass has you write the history of a tribe, through trials and tribulations, for better or for worse... RPG? Strategy? Adventure? Who cares, it's addictive and you should play it!

Children of the Nile Complete

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: A human ant-farm. It looks beautiful, sounds great and is a caring, relaxing play for city-building fans. Gorgeous.

Cat Lady, The

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: "Maturity" in gaming is a term normally applied to games that feature gratuitous nudity or violence. The Cat Lady bucks the trend by being a touching, visceral, mature story told through beautiful art and excellent voice-acting. Adults! Play this!

Resonance

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: A point and click adventure, with difficult puzzles and a story that would make a killer movie. Resonance is chock full of character development and shocking plot twists that need to be experienced if you call yourself an adventure fan.

Richard & Alice

Barneyhamster85's rating: not rated yet
250

Barneyhamster85 says: A surprising point & click adventure game that doesn't quite reach the heights of emotion that Resonance or The Cat Lady manage, but is still an effective and original story that deserves to be experienced.

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.
