Rules are simple. (Please read the updated v2 Rules below)

1.Choose a game pre 2007 (including the year 2007) with less than 350 votes on the community wishlist and mention the current number of votes.
2. Talk about the game in at least a few sentences. The idea is to draw attention to underrated games which could have more votes if more people knew about it.
3. Give a link to the wishlist. In order not to manipulate the wishlist, vote for it only if you would be interested in buying the game if it appeared here.
4. One game per post.
5. You can post about a game that is already mentioned.
6. A game can enter the Hall of Fame only directly from the Top 20 games list.
7. Posts which are more elaborative and detail will be linked to under this list. This is just to encourage posts where a lot of effort was given to promote a specific game (such as more than copy-pastes from other websites or very short reviews). The posts eligible for this one will be chosen by myself :)
8. Rule #8 will be effective for posts from now onwards.

1. Noctropolis Entered the Hall of Fame in May 2015. RELEASED!!!
2. Submarine Titans Entered the Hall of Fame in July 2015.
3. GUN Entered the Hall of Fame in August 2015. RELEASED!!!
4. The Moment of Silence Entered the Hall of Fame in December 2015. RELEASED!!!

V3 wrote me by pm, giving very nice ideas about this thread which I gladly implemented. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

Since the last update, ShadowCaster caught the most attention, followed by Genewars and Hexplore.

And the title says v2. What a downgrade.

Thanks for updating this awesome thread!

Since you opened the original one in 2015, I thought that pre 2005 (included) rule is in place to ensure only games 10 years or older are submitted. Do you plan to edit it every year shifting the mark +1?

damien: Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh
I guess you are referring specifically to the Windows version of the game, as the game's DOS version is already here (in which case you should modify the entry to reflect that fact).

Regarding rule 8, please feel free to copy-paste your previous entries if you wish them to be considered for Rule 7 :)

<span class="bold">Galapagos: Mendel's Escape</span> (1997), currently 13 votes.

A synthetic bug-like creature known as Mendel has just been created in a dystopian lab in the world of Galapagos. According to the intro of the game, Mendel is the first of its kind, a prototype which will one day be used to create an army of "belligerent autonomous agents, to be used as instruments of dominion, to conquer other worlds for the exploitation of their resources". It turns out Mendel is actually completely harmless and lonely, so they instead plan to study and dissect the creature to continue their plans of creating a "xenocidal war machine". As you apparently have full control over the laboratory environment and wish to subvert their plans, it is your job to help Mendel escape from the lab, and ultimately leave Galapagos.

I have never played this but I find the premise very interesting, instead of having control over Mendel you have control over it's environment and so have to guide him through obstacles.

Strijkbout: currently 19 votes or 13 votes or 7 votes.
Can you choose just one? I would suggest 13 votes, since the title seems to be more correct and it can easily reach 19 votes soon
