The basic premise is that this is an American-made Ecchi Visual Novel about a school for those with disabilities. The Main Character, who you play as, has a heart condition,specifically 'cardiac arrhythmia and congenital heart muscle deficiency,' and qualifies him for the school. The game takes place over a full year, and you're given the chance woo one of 5 girls with various disabilities. If that description sounds like the should be a disgusting mess of a representation about the disabled... You'd actually be wrong. This game has a very strange history which honestly makes it even more surprising in some ways that it's not exploitative. The game was brainstormed on the infamous message board / forum 4-Chan, at first as a concept and various character designs to my understanding. But then the game designers and artists and everyone else who gathered together (I'm quoting from memory after a brief wiki glance for the heart info,) sat down and made a relatively serious game that doesn't gloss over any of the issues involved. As an added bonus, the creators of the included the ability to turn off the more adult (as in sexual,) content, so that would make it easier to adapt to GOG. I definitely reccomend this game.

One of my top favorite free games ever! Not quite as worried about this game since it is already widely available in many ways, but still a great idea to preserve this game for the future and hopefully still for free. The games concept seems really weird, but it is actually an excellent visual novel with great characters and story with so much heart to it. Even if this does not get picked, I highly recommend downloading and playing this game and keeping it safe.

River City Girls 2
River City Girls 2Picking up shortly after the original, River City Girls 2 once again put you in control of Misako and Kyoko - as well as Kunio, Riki, and a few new characters - as they set out on an all-new beat-'em-up adventure across the mean streets of River City. New moves, new enemies, new recruits, new environments, and the return of an old foe await, along with the same over-the-top sense of humor and adrenaline-pumping combat of its predecessor. The game will also feature two-player co-op action both locally and online.

Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon
Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest MoonLife is good for the residents of Heartflame Island, especially since new robots and automated machines do almost all of the work. But technology is a tool--not an answer to all problems. Maybe that's why everyone is a little uneasy about the old stories of strange magic and a prediction that Flame Mountain will erupt and destroy everything. That's why Dr. Hope, a caring and wise old scholar has sent you, his son on a journey to the ancient ruins to try and run a farm. It is your father's dream that you will unlock the secrets of the ancient ruins and find the meaning of "life".

Gran Turismo 2
Gran Turismo 2Gran Turismo 2 is a racing game for the Sony PlayStation and the sequel to Gran Turismo. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose vehicles they wish to use, and can enable damage. However, the Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks, including rally tracks. Compared with Gran Turismo, the gameplay, physics and graphics are very similar. The major changes are the vastly expanded number of cars, tracks and races in simulation mode. Other differences include that the player can race events separately, if they don't want to enter the whole tournament. The player is no longer able to "qualify" for each race entered.
