It was my favorite game of my childhood, but I don't think I have cleared this game to this day. One day I will. I'm not sure why exactly I loved it - it was probably all the action in this game, because I definitely didn't know the puzzles. The experimenting with all the levers and discovering different path was also really cool
The PC DOS (1991) version of this game was the first port I played - ah memories! A great game that has everything you need: cool graphics, neat soundtrack and gameplay that is challenging without being too hard so that you keep coming back to play it. Once you got used to the janky inventory system (you don't just pick up an item and that's it, you have to pick it up and then move the selected item slot highlight to a blank one, otherwise the object you pick up will drop back onto the floor immediately) you were away. Great graphics, playability and presentation make for another Bitmap Bros classic well worth your time. I am surprised this game hasn't had more votes as it is easily on par with their best game, The Chaos Engine. Anyway, if GOG do add it to their roster one day (PLEASE!) it doesn't take much to get it working in DosBox. Either that, or they could somehow wrangle getting the GODS Remastered version by Robot Riot onto GOG? It is no longer available on Steam.
After Remastered was delisted on Steam, I wondered if Robot Riot's remake would be more at home on GOG alongside other Bitmap Brothers classics like Chaos Engine. Moreover, I was surprised even the original wasn't on here to begin with. This game has become increasingly difficult to play in current day without owning a physical copy, and for as brutally difficult as it can get, it definitely deserves to be experienced.
That being said, the delisting of Remastered is due to licensing agreements, so this might be more complicated, but still. It's a rough as nails classic.
Enjoyed playing this game back in the early 90's. The emulated (Mega-Drive) version is way too fast paced which makes it harder to play. They had brought out a remastered version of this on steam at least a year ago but it's now been de-listed, to be released on other platforms and mobile. Proof why we need ports to be preserved on GOG, even when re-releases aren't even safe anymore.
This game was important in my youth because was one of the first games that i play on a pc and was a ground breaking platform game in all aspects back in that day. Great story, great graphics and nice unforgettable intro music. I'd love to play it again.
This game is a true masterpiece, Bitmap Brothers at their best.
The title music "Into the Wonderful" is great, for some reason strongly protected. It has to be removed from youtube videos (only Amiga version, other versions have different music).
It has an insane amount of secrets, for some you need to hit switches in the right order, for others you need to get through a level section quickly, others require you to let a thief live for a while longer, so he will snatch a key for you from an area you can't get to. Others won't unlock if you do things in a certain order. You can play this game over and over again and discover something new every time.
Fun nerd info: Many people complained that it was too difficult, but that was actually part of their copy protection. If you used a hacked copy and the game would notice, you could still play it, but it became a lot harder. When custompers complained at the publishers support hotline about the difficulty, they asked to send them the disks so they could check them. It's easy enough to say that they rarely got any.
Theres a SNES version, but it plays faster than the original, they added additional ingame music as well. But the awesome title theme was changed. The PC version was ok, but it's outdated these days (and music and sound are as bad as any music back then was compared to the Amiga).
The remaster from a couple of years ago wasn't very good and had to be removed due to licencing problems.
So ... please GOg, go and get us the Amiga version.
It should be possible, since Blaze Entertainment also released the Amiga game in September 2024 on the Bitmap Brothers Collection #2 cartridge for their Evercade system.
This game was SO difficult! The last time I played it was on the Amiga 1200 when I was about 8. I'd love the chance to play as an adult and see if I can actually beat the first level. Not to forget the AMAZING theme song... "Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah oh... the wonderful" Bring it back GOG!

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
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.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
