The third game in the Ace Combat franchise, it was released in Japan in 1999.

Electrosphere carries a more futuristic science fiction-inspired landscape and world compared to the modern-day theme of its predecessors. The japanese version of Ace Combat 3 differs significantly from the international release: its campaign features 52 missions split among different paths depending on in-mission decisions. The story centers around the "Intercorporate War" in 2040 between Neucom Incorporated and the General Group.Show more

The crazy anime version (JP) was brilliant and the world is owed a proper remaster with full English voiceovers! The old Ace Combat games are the best, we need them on PC.

Got this game as JP version for PS1 back in the day. I couldn't understand anything in the menus, but was captivated by the gameplay, menu visuals, music, design of the planes, and story videos. The fun part, I discovered the Intro video wwway too late in the game. It started playing because I left my game on a starting screen once when I went to WC or to take a cup of water. When I returned to my TV I was in Ave how cool the intro looked. Instantly became my one of my fav games since
The Japanese version of Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere is the holy grail for a lot of Ace Combat fans all over the world. It has a fantastic story, different endings based on your decisions, the missions are varied and intriguing, the music feels futuristic and the gameplay feels on point. It's really criminal that the American and European versions were totally butchered because Namco at that time thought the story wasn't going to sit well with the international player base. Massive mistake, AC3E really deserves so much more than being just a footnote for the series.
If you do bring this one to GOG, then you have to get the Japanese version with the English subtitles. It comes with a wide branching story with cutscenes and characters created by Production I.G., the animators behind Ghost In The Shell.

Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil ZeroResident Evil Zero is a third-person survival horror video game and a prequel to the first Resident Evil. The gameplay remains largely the same as previous entries in the series but also introduces what it calls a partner zapping system, which allows you to switch between the two characters Rebecca and Billy at any time. This feature must be used at times, as the game requires both characters to work together to solve some puzzles. New to the game are a bunch of terrifying enemies, like the mutant centipede, new areas to explore, and the ability to drop items on the ground instead of having to find an item box.
