Story:The pit droids go through 300 different puzzles, each randomly selected for eight levels. At first, your droids start at the Transport Ship, ending at the final level, the Arena. In each puzzle, you need to get 48 droids into the portal; if you get only a few number of droids, you advance with only that number. With each puzzle you complete, you gain points. Each level you unlock, you get a humorous pit droids clip. The levels are located in Tatooine. There are many different numbers of different types of obstacles and restriction. With different types of arrows, you can also make your own puzzles. Depending on the puzzles, there are certain factors: Different tools- wrench, ladder, gas tank, cases, or nothing. Sometimes there are obstacles which give your droids tools; Different colored heads, body, or same colored head and body. Sometimes there are painting obstacles that paint the body or head; Square or Hexagonal grid; Space between droids- if you have space, you can cross droid paths, with out it, they crash when approaching each other; Crashing or Falling- when approaching the end of the stage or an obstacle of some sort, they either crash or fall. On some puzzles, they just wait. You must complete each puzzle with logic, problem solving, critical thinking, and visual thinking. Other game modes include creating a puzzle, or playing a scenario that has already been installed into the game.Show more

A game I still own a physical copy of. But cannot play, because of certain hardware or OS requirements. I've spent hours on it as a great time killer back in my childhood and youth. But haven't touched it since I left my old Pentium4 build behind in 2005. As I've aged, I have attempted to install the game on Win7 builds, Win8, and even Win10. I know some people can make it work. Often I'm told that I can just run it on a virtual machine. And I am sure I can. But I wanted to run on the hardware. I remember getting an early WinXP compatible laptop, but the game said that the GPU was not recognized. (mobile HD2000 series iirc - no native Win98 compatability) I have an even older laptop, that I know can run it, but getting a mobile PATA/IDE drive now-a-days is expensive and a gamble. This one game, for which I've wasted so many hours of joy, is now the driving force behind my Win98 Project. But why did I list it here on GOG dreamlist then? Because I'm tired and just want the game to work and 20-25 year old hardware are also gambles on 2nd hand market to build. The game still pushes me. In a good way. One direction or another.

I played the demo on a CD I got from a magazine and it was awesome! I like puzzle games and it's a good puzzle game, but it's also very-very fun! Plus, it has short, funny cinematics with the pit droids.
This one is a really unique puzzle game in addition to being a Star Wars game. It is a game about the eponymous pit droids from Star Wars Episode I - Phantom Menace in which you try to make them all reach to specific exit ports, very akin to the beloved Lemmings series but isometric this time. There are some gadgets tou can place, like direction changers, color coders and so on. A very important aspect of it is also the slap-stick humour of the pit droids, like in the movies. When you complete a certain region, cutscenes of pit droids doing silly things appear, adding to the atmosphere of the game. Also the game has a really catchy techno chip-tune soundtrack so very suitable to a Star Wars comedy series. Overall, a great game I will always remember, a very kid friendly one too, for those looking to educate their kids. Make no mistake, the puzzles are not child's play though. We need this on GoG, as soon as possible as it is a beloved part of the good old Star Wars games history. It also had a mobile version once so it shouldn't be too difficult to bring on.
I would love to play this game again. As a child my friends and I put in tons of hours into this silly game. There isn't a great way to play it on modern hardware and I don't want this to disappear to time. I know many other Star Wars games have been released on GOG so I'm hoping this one can too. People love to buy Star Wars things, so you know it will make money. I own more Star Wars games that I haven't played, than own Star Wars games that I have played. That being said, I WOULD play the heck out of this game again.

This game is awesome. I've spent hours always trying to find out where those markers should be but the droids somehow kept on colliding hahaha. I think this game would be a nice gift to my nephew.
Those games also need your vote!

Silent Hill 3
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.

Discworld
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.
