One of the best puzzle games for 2 players since Tetris. Simple to learn. Hard to master. Would love to have it play on GOG smoothly and without glitches. Thank you.
Lose Your Marbles had the boldest advertising line of all time: "Better than Tetris or your money back!" A total lie if I've ever seen one, yet I can't imagine anyone returning such a cool game just for that.
Why Sega never released it for Saturn, Dreamcast etc. is beyond me. You make combos by grouping identical marbles on the center line and through this you send marbles to the opponent's side, increasing his stack and decreasing his available space until he can't do anything else. Much cooler than Baku Baku, in my opinion. And Lose Your Marbles had a whole "elementary school playtime vibe" that I've never found in any other game.
I only had the demo of Lose Your Marbles. It was included in one of those CD-magazines you bought from newsstands (they always came with a lot of random stuff, it was magical). I didn't even have a PC in those days, I played in the office during my lunch breaks (hidden from the manager, of course). Never got very far because the demo was very limited in content (and my lunch break time was short) so I always wanted the full version but never found it after I managed to realize my dream of buying my first PC in 2000. But by then I'd lost that CD and didn't even have the demo anymore... So come on GOG, help an old gamer relive his good old days and publish Lose Your Marbles!
This game rules. Super fun and very unique type of puzzle game that I think more people should be able to play... it features 2 player support too! It has fun music and memorable sound effects too. It has issues running on modern Windows these days (earlier mentioned music seems to be missing from most videos online), but I fondly remember playing it through the Sega Puzzle Pack. Please bring it back!
After playing a demo I went ahead and got the full game and played it for hours. I could make it to the final stage but never quite managed to beat it. I'd love to try again! (What I would really love is for this to be remastered with online multiplayer functionality, wouldn't that be neat?)
This game is as addictive as Tetris to me. I want this game so bad. I played it as a kid and there is no other game like it. We NEED IT! It's one of those old school titles that new generations need a taste of. Just like Tetris, I can play for HOURS and lose track of time. But this one has Tetris beat by a bit so I guess it is better than Tetris, as they bragged years ago.
This is one of the first games I got objectively GOOD at as a kid. I was so proud of myself, and played every chance I got. I'd love the chance to share it with my own kids now!

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.Top Trending Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist.
The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.Fantasy Historical Comedy
