tinyE: Abuse is one of the great platformers of all time, but it's old and like most DOS games it can be a little clunky. I'd wager if it ever shows up on GOG it will be an instant buy for a lot of folks here myself included.

Fenixp: Or, you know, you could just download the free remake that's lying somewhere around the net.
Ummmm yeah...I knew that. I just wanted to see if you folks knew about it. :P

Actually, the original is also freeware.

Drelmanes: I never played, but this seems fun.

Kunovski: Abuse is the best shooting platformer of all times... it will make your heart go boom!
(and not because some stupid programmer made this jump almost unjumpable :)

man, thanks for reminding me, I'm going to play that tonight!!!
Wow, is that good? I'll probably check this game, then!

No one remember on GOG the sequel of Shadowlands, Shadoworld? Nice sci-fi action rpg... :)

The only Abuse downloads I can find are the old DosBox ones that tell me "can't run in full screen mode". If you know of one tweekd for windows please let me know. Thanks! :)

also, I HIGHTLY RECOMMEND playing the game without music, just with the sound effects on...

EDIT: I mean Abuse of course :)

Did they change the death scream in Abuse? I remember it being more horrific back whe it first came out.

Since we are into DOS talk I might as well mention Solar Winds 1&2. They are not like Diablo but they are ACTUAL Sci-fi RPGs. They are also really old but I still love em to death.

I've played Solar Winds, but never really thought of them as RPGs. They're closer to action/adventure games in my opinion.

Has anyone mentioned Maximus XV Abraham Strong: Space Mercenary, probably better know by it's infinitely less amusing and uninspired title Space Hack?

Ralackk: Restricted Area...

Warning though it uses starforce drm, which in itself is reason enough not to play it. Which also makes this a bit of a crap recommendation but like I said I really can't think of any others.

Ahh brilliant. I've been wanting to go back and try this game for a long time now. Think its time I finally bought something from gamers gate. Thank you.

You're welcome :) Also, be sure to give Harbinger a go too if you haven't already. It's on sale on GG right now, less than 3$.
