Still have the old Saturn game with manual, They used to make beautiful manuals back then. This game is fairly unique and detailed. The characters are interesting, well drawn and each faction you play as has a different storyline. Really miss playing this one.
I've played so many games. Almost everything from the Pong Console to present day. Dragon Force is one of those games that I keep thinking about, along with Snatcher for Sega CD but that will be for another vote. I own this for my Saturn but would love a PC port, and willing to pay for it again. For many who never played this game, it is easily one of the best Saturn releases. Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn stands out as a special title due to its ambitious blend of strategy, role-playing, and real-time tactical combat, a combination that was rare for its time. Released in 1996 by Working Designs, the game offered an expansive world with eight distinct kingdoms, each led by a unique monarch with their own motivations and storylines, giving players an unprecedented level of choice and replayability. Its innovative battle system, featuring massive clashes with up to 100 units per side, brought a thrilling sense of scale and chaos that set it apart from typical RPGs. Coupled with vibrant 2D sprite art and a sweeping soundtrack, Dragon Force delivered a rich, immersive experience that earned it a cult following. For Saturn owners, it was a showcase of the console's potential, pushing technical and creative boundaries in an era dominated by simpler narratives and gameplay mechanics. Do your thing GOG. Make this happen please!

The anime storyline set in a grand fantasy and the armies you could make with your defeated opponents made this one an awesome game. An updated version for PC would be awesome.

This is probably my favorite game ever made. I used to play this after school in Jr high and always ended up spending too much time with it. It was too easy to play for what felt like an hour but was often more like 3-4 hours. Its amazing that so few games even inspired by this one have released over the years. I'm surprised Sega hasn't done more with re-releasing it. If the opportunity ever comes up, GOG should work with them on bringing this game to PC.

L.A. Noire
L.A. NoireL.A. Noire is a neo-noir detective action-adventure video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011. L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed. The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir—stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity—along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases, based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.
