Shortly after her second adventure, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice's house is burnt down by an accidental fire, killing her family and leaving her as the only survivor.

Alice's only possession in Rutledge is a stuffed rabbit. Ten years after Alice was committed to Rutledge, she finds herself sucked back into a Wonderland that has been twisted by her own broken mind. The White Rabbit summons Alice to aid a radically altered Wonderland, which became a twisted version of itself as it came under the horrible rule of the Queen of Hearts. The Cheshire Cat serves as Alice's companion throughout the game, frequently appearing to guide her with cryptic comments.

despite alice madness returns' breakout and enduring success many people have not played the, frankly superior original game, alice 2000 is a delight, it has everything i want in an old game and pushes further lengths to introduce aesthetics and music and art seldom seen in games at that moment. Its a monumental feat in games, a unique adaptation and reinterpretation of a children's book, is something i yearn to see more often in the format. maybe someday EA will once more grant mcgee the oportunity to develop a continuation of this project, despite the rejected pitches in the past.

This game was honestly the game that helped me find the love of cosmic horror. While it obviously a more honest portrayal of the original Alice & wonderland stories, with the twisted nature that it is. I remember the snicker snack, the mallet, the exceptionally visually striking character designs. The story was and is well done, memorable. I would love more than anything for this to be sold with its sequel in such a way that it does not have to be patched in to the sequel each time it is installed. I want this game on GoG to be able to have a stable & safe source to download the first game to let its' sequel have a reasonable and legal place to get the files to allow the 2nd game to play it.

I need this game; it's impossible to play it legally. I definitely want to add it to my GOG catalog to enjoy it. It's very important to preserve games like this, which are considered lost software.

I played the sequel, and I always wanted to know the rest of the story of Alice, it is such a shame that Asylum and Otherlands got canceled, but at least I want Mcgee's legacy to continue

Disney's original animated film was one of those eerie atmosphere experiences, especially as a kid this left a big impression on me. Then they announced this game, where the stories were told as a twisted version where a more adult Alice would have to deal with a grown up version of Wonderland and it's inhabitants. And where a traumatic event infected the world that was once more "wonderous" to her. From the first steps in this adaptation you knew this was going to be something special. Using the Quake III engine for something other than a first person shooter was very interesting and the developers used all it's visual tricks to create a creepy but also stylisch world with a very good gothic art-style with approperiate soundscape and eerie music, creating a dark Wonderland. Having the Cheshire cat be your tutorial guide that could appear at any moment and leave a lingering smile fitted the game so well. It immediately presented you with a writing style very much like the novels it was based on. It also added some dark humor with the cat's descriptions for the deadly tools and weapons you find and how to use them. It made the whole game feel very authentic to it's source material even if they took liberties with some of it's aspects. It made it more than just a horror version of Alice in Wonderland, it felt like going on a interactive dark Disney ride. The game definitely deserves to be preserved and with a remaster and community patch that is already floating around, a updated GOG release would be .... Wonderful.

I was enchanted by this game in my early pc gaming days, and still am today. It was so satisfying to see a 3rd person game outside of guns and sci-fi military cover shooters or standard medieval fantasy worlds. Til this day, I remain a hard fan off the first original game, even tho I worship also the second, but it's different. The mood and level design here meets the Quake 3 engine, and it really fits into a wonderful looking cocktail, that is timeless and deserves to be preserved to be flawlessly playable on modern systems, including modern aspect ratios and game pad support.

A fantastic, unique, and dark PC gaming treasure that deserves a good home for folks to have access to it. Too many wonderful games like this have to be missed due to carelessness by parent companies like EA completely disregarding the preservation of titles they still hold the rights to. Alice deserves better, EA. And so do it's fans.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
