I was adding a game or two to the community wishlist and browsed for a few others and noticed a lot of games only had like 1 or 2 votes even after all this time. So I thought it would be fitting to not so much do a "hey gog I want these games" thread but more of a "Hey gog community, show us some games we DONT know about".

I mean yes yes we all know about system shock 2 and other games like that but Im talking about ones many gog users may not even know about and might interested in checking out just to create more awareness about them instead of just focusing on the more mainstream games we could have on here like the usual lucasarts stuff etc.

I dont know about you guys but Im always interested in finding out about a good old game that slipped through even the cracks of this community. So Ill get the ball rolling with title and a link of some sort to the game itself.

LucasArts' Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe:

Of course, then we'd be stuck with a bunch of other LucasArts games nobody wants... XD

I'll add
Asghan the Dragon Slayer
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asghan:_The_Dragon_Slayer]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asghan:_The_Dragon_Slayer[/url]

http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/games/asghan_the_dragonslayer

I really liked that game but it doesn't seem to be well known, no homepage and even the wiki-entry is pretty short^^

"Jagged Alliance"-like games from HOMMV developers.
Please vote! It's my all-time-favourite games, I have both games on CD, but can't play on my Win7 x64 because of StarForce DRM =(

I didn't play this game but I got a boxed copy of it from a garage sale a while back. Obviously it didn't work on my computer....I don't know what made me think it would.

Lords of Midnight (Mike Singleton)
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_Midnight_:_The_Citadel]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_Midnight_:_The_Citadel[/url]

As I haven't played it, I haven't much idea of the quality....but as I wasn't really in the PC scene during the 90's (wasn't even around in the 80's) it's the only "old" old game I have in my possession. I didn't see the game in the requests so I'm guessing it's either unknown...or really bad. (hopefully the former) (Wikipedia says the reception was very good though)

Lesser known games would be :

A very funny old adventure game called Eye of the Kraken ( Can't seem to find it on wiki if somebody can help :s )

And The Bizzare Adventures of Woodruff and the shnibble of Azimuth (1994) :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bizarre_Adventures_of_Woodruff_and_the_Schnibble

Ah and also Dark Revenge (an average action game)
