I grew up with all of the skylanders games, my first was giants as I played at a friends house, I then convinced my parents to get me skylanders giants too and every christmas after that I got the new skylanders game, it made my childhood magical. (I got spyros on a birthday at a later date.) Skylanders is my favorite game from my childhood, it's simply the best game a child can experience, I still own all my skylanders, consoles and games, but if those consoles die before my future children can experience the joys of skylanders I would be devastated, my wii nunchuck has already broken and it is the first to do so, but there's not many new parts being made anymore right? I really hope GOG can allow me and my future family, along with millions of other families to experience the joys of skylanders. I truly believe it's that good. Ps: I'm not a bot, I'm autistic.
My interest in video games began with Skylanders: Giants for the Nintendo Wii. I can perfectly remember the main menu theme, which still gives me such a surge of confidence thirteen years later. I love the writing, characters, and story that my family, friends, and I all remember so well we can recite our favorite catchphrases in casual conversation. My dad’s favorite self-imposed challenge for these games was to beat them on Hardcore difficulty while only playing as Stump Smash. I love this game so much that I got lore books for the series at Half-Price Books. One of these days, I’ll do that Stump Smash run.
If nostalgia had another name, it would be skylanders... AND THIS ONE OHHHH it's the holy grail of my childhood video games memories i still have the portal and all the skylanders figures

First video game i ever played when i was like 4 on the wii, i didn't have many games so i replayed it for hundreds of hours surely, even today i still replay the games sometimes, i love videogames and i've spent tens of thousands of hours playing and i am sure i wouldn't be the same person i am today if it wasn't for this game, all the skylanders saga really, they are just magical, not just for the fact that you get to use the real figures, but the world and its characters, i've spent entire days playing with my brother, and i'll make sure my sons also play it some day, this games feel like those fantastical stories one used to belive when jounger and the way it gets those feelings and puts it into a videogame its just magical. I would love to see this happen, an in-game character select feature would be grate, and i know its gonna be difficult because Activision, but i think its worth trying. Hope you all the best and thanks you very much for what you are archiving here, its huge and you should be proud of it.
I never actually played this game but a close friend of mine had the Game and the Tree Rex skylanders Giants which is what originally gotten me intrested in the skylanders genre but it wasn't until Skylanders trap team when I was really intrested bring back skylanders
While i don't know how you could make this work on pc due to needing a portal and figures to even play this game it would be awesome to be able to play all these skylander giants on pc. i grew up on this game was so obsessed with it even today i still have so many figures for it!
Got this game for Christmas still makes me happy and it would make everyone's day if skylanders giants got added to gog. It was a great game to play after school .
Skylanders is the best game of all time and I would genuinely love to see it return I’ve been playing and collecting it since I was three years old and I still find myself playing it from time to time now and I would absolutely buy a new remastered version of all the games #SAVESKYLANDS
I remember getting this game for my birthday, after my best friend already owned it, and then when he came over he brought his collection of Skylanders to play together. I even remember which Skylanders we each played. He switched between Ignitor and Drobot, while I played Double Trouble and Bouncer
I grew up with the skylander games.My first was giants I spent hours upon hours after school everyday playing over and over again because how much I loved the characters,the story and the amazing levels.And I can still remember the first time I placed a skylander on that portal and played those levels.My first three skylanders were Tree-Rex ,Bash and Shroomboom.Also #SAVESKYLANDS
Those games also need your vote!

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.

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.
