Grand Prix 2 (1996)

by MicroProse Software, Inc.
Genres:Sport, Simulator, Racing
Themes:Non-fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:All the circuits and drivers of the 1994 Formula 1 World Championship is recreated in Geoff Crammond's second racing simulation. The game is viewed from within the cockpit - external views are provided primarily for use in replays or demonstrations. Texture mapping and full detail in the rear view mirrors are available for almost every visible feature. The game has 5 skill levels, 7 driving aids such as automatic brakes and a dotted 'ideal racing line' to follow available on lower skill levels, and variable race and practice session lengths. You will have to alter the car's setup to get the best possible car performance - this ranges from standard features such as brake balance and gear ratios onto more technical ones such as spring settings and the ride height. Multiplayer games involve either taking it in turns on a single computer, or on a linkup.Show more

It is a gem that deserves to be in history for everything it means for car competition games.the last game were appear AYRTON SENNA, 😥, It would also bring something new to GOG, which currently lacks this type of simulation classics. It is really fair that it appears on the dream list.

i can hear the soundtrack of the menu just by looking at the art, my uncle gave us a copy of this game in 1997 i think, man i loved to race and hot seat with my brothers and all my friends and neighbors, this gem needs to get preserved on GOG!! ASAP! ;D
Immensely popular game in Europe and a landmark for sim racing. I remember it came with a thick manual that was many young kids' introduction to how cars and racing worked. Graphically, it was stunning, probably more than any game of that year(and what a year it was); you can still look at replays on Youtube and be amazed by it.

Gp2 was my first racing game I played and from then on I fell in love with racing and gaming in general.. it is still one of the most realistic video games where the setup really makes a difference and to think that it is a game that is over 30 years old is incredible! I am sorry that many people, especially the younger ones, have not been lucky enough to play it because it is still one of the most realistic and spectacular simulators in the industry today!

I used to play this for hours. (I used to do full Grand Prix Distance). Especially during the Summer Holidays. Setting up the car was the best of its era, in my opinion. For this to be on GOG would be very nice. I know you can get this on Abandonware sites, but getting it to work correctly, that awful clicking through the speakers every time you change to a different menu. So Yes, needs to be preserved and maybe a little love too.
My brother played this game a bunch of times, even with mods and circuits from later Formula 1 seasons. It's an amazing game and I hope one day it will be re-released here on GOG with newer steering wheel support.

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.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
