Gorky 17

beware, some team memebers will dissapear and take the equipment with them

Pretty nice, albeit janky hidden gem of a game. Takes time to get used to the unique mechanics and especially leveling, but it's fun.

Weird guns, creatures, and barely translated storyline all equal the best XCOM story that doesn't look like pixel art.

I played the game many years ago and downloaded it over gog to re-play this treasure. First I was afraid as I heard it will not work with Windows 7. Iam using Windows 7 64 Bit Professional. Installation went without problems. Started the game as ADMINISTRATOR in COMPATIBILITY MODE (Windows 98 / ME) with SOFTWARE RENDERER (!yes, hardware renderer aka graphics card did not work!). I can play the game without problems (except some sound bugs which aren't a big problem). Thx topware&gog for the classic :-)

Although this game is a great specimen of Polish sci-fi, you should carefully think if you want to buy it. First, you may find yourself fiddling with graphics options a lot just to launch it (especially true for Direct 3D mode). If you don't really want to play this 640x480 game on you FullHD display, you would also want to run it with DxWnd, which is another bit of a hassle. Then, you may potentially encounter at least one plot-stopper bug that was not addressed in years (there is a solution for it in the GOG forums though). If you are afraid of 3d models with poly count of around 2,000, it is also not a good game for you :D. These, however, are the only things that may stop you from playing. If you really expect it to be an robust RPG with just a couple of whistles – don't. It's rather a sequence of turn-based battles that are connected with exploration and plot dialogue moments and sprinkled with a little bit of character progression and stats. On the positive side, the game is really atmospheric, and conveys the feel of sci-fi horror films circa 1999 really well. Go watch John Bruno's Virus before or after you play to get 90 more minutes of Gorky 17 ;).
