This is the game that got me into the Mechwarrior/Battletech franchise and lore. I still remember messing with the loadouts and paint schemes of every mech and even catching my late grandfather messing with one of my loadouts when I had to leave the computer for a bit. I still remember the soundtrack for this game, the tracks Wednesday 7(which also served as the main menu theme) and Aftermath still live in my brain and memories. I would love to see this on GOG so I could relive some of those memories and get to experience the expansions for this game that I never got to play as a kid.

The old MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, I remember having found it by chance in an old computer store in my city and decided to buy it because the price was very good. I spent hours and hours playing the game's story, even with almost no knowledge about the universe, but they were still very fun hours, just as I remember having suffered in the escort missions. It would be a good addition to GOG.
I skipped straight from mechwarrior 2 to this game when I was a kid and was blown away by the graphics. Playing this game with my sidewinder force feedback stick was fun for *years,* and it's a tragedy this doesn't run properly on a modern system. Also, it's got good old-fashioned FMV acting, can't beat that.

Maybe my favourite Mechwarrior game in my memory- when it came out the graphical leap seemed huge, the over-the-shoulder camera really showed off how good the mechs looked, and the way that the mechs would sway from side to side as they walked looked and felt much more realistic than the movement from previous titles. This title really cemented my love for the series!

It's like a friend to me This game lets you command a squad of Mercenary Mech pilots and you travel around doing what Mercenaries do, earning cold hard cash and not caring about anything else. It's wonderful !
Comming out of Mechwarrior 3, I really hated the textures of MW4 - everything was so much less detailed looking. But this game grows on you, and a community grew around it - Mektek, you take anyone that played this game and send them a youtube link to the MW4 OST track "Stutter Shark" and you just droped a nostalgia bomb on them. Would really love to see all the old Mechwarrior games on GoG, especially because a lot of them wont run with out a whole lot of third party patches and tweaks.

One of my very first PC games dad bought me. Endless hours of live action cheese and robots shooting each other. I will miss those days. More rock and metal in soundtracks. More good vs evil....and merc arenas.
Back in 2020, I fought like hell to get this game to run on Linux, through Lutris, using my old 2016 all-in-one PC. The game was ABSOLUTELY worth the effort, but it required certain specific files and tools which I worry will someday become impossible to access. Heck, the video guide I used even got put to private once. In one fell swoop, the game almost became impossible to know how to get working on modern Windows 10/11 PCs, at least in the form of a helpful *video* guide. This game, and the entire rest of the classic entries, deserve to be properly preserved in a more easily playable way.

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.
