I remember this was the first RTS game I ever played. It was a cold wintery Christmas, and my cousins showed me this game after we opened presents on my grandma's computer. The wintery ambient sounds went right with the view outside. The atmosphere was amazing, a desolate land with a small expeditionary force fighting on a remote backwater planet boasting an incredible technology. It is possible that to this day, I have never heard a better game sound track than from this game, the ambient and the active music were amazing. Similarly, even though the 4 playable races were relatively similar the gameplay was fast and intense. The economy was simple; refineries built on energy wells and a power grid to manage building placement, it left your primary focus on unit control, finding and securing additional resources, and base defenses. That's not to say you could forget about the resource management, resources were tight enough that you had to be sure what units and upgrades you choose. The units had many more options like going prone, scattering, auto recon, that no other game of its class had to my knowledge, far ahead of its time. I think this was originally released as a competitor to Star Craft and Tiberian Sun, it was delayed heavily by the original company being bought up and that combined with poor advertising left this as a forgotten gem. I still have the original box, that opened like aboard game and came with a comic about humans fighting to survive in the universe. One of my favorite games for sure.
This was my first RTS experience in my childhood, not Command and Conquer or Starcraft like for most my age. Fun and simple were the order of the day and this game did not disappoint in that aspect. It was perfect for a total RTS amateur or novice to grasp the basics of RTS combat. Once Starcraft came out I was wiping the floor with my friends over BattleNet because I had built up a lot of experience playing this game in particular. Bring it back in a remaster like CnC, please. Not a remake or re-release, but remaster this game's graphics, fix the very few bugs that it had and give it a good strong updated UI that is simple and uncomplicated. A winning formula, keeping it simple is. 'Nuff Yoda wisdom, bring it back, 'nuff said.

I complitely forgot that I played this game when I was a kid. Atomsphere was very captivating for someone who loved Westwood strategy games. One of better games to use C&C formula plus factions have interesting design.

Dominion: SOG3 is at the top of my shortlist of childhood favorites! Some of my greatest middle school friendships were formed over the love of this game. Sure, we played all the awesome classics like the C&C series, Age of Empires, Warcraft, Dune II & 2000, Dark Reign, StarCraft, Total Annihilation, etc... but something about this game was magical. The umbilical system for base building was a fun nuance to me and it's the first time that I really came to appreciate the tactical value of cheap and plentiful vs expensive and durable faction units. The game play was fun and just the right amount of challenging for a pre-teen. It's a good example of a mid to late 1990's RTS with the typical formula: build your base, repel enemy incursions, amass your forces, and steamroll their base (simple, the way I like it). On a personal note- I enjoyed the soundtrack, which, oddly enough, reminds me of my favorite childhood dog. She was sick one day and resting on the couch while I was playing this game. At some point, I paused the game, sat down with her on the couch and comforted her for a while as the music played in the background. As a child absorbed in my own world, it's the first time that I remember being completely focused on caring for another and this soundtrack cements that wonderful memory. It warms my heart to know that this game has touched other lives and left lasting, joyful memories. Bringing this game back would be nothing short of a public service and should be part of every young RTS lover's "basic training". I've only written a handful of reviews in my entire life and I am thankful to have the opportunity to write this one. Please bring this game back, GOG!

I just have to say Yes pleas bring this one to GoG it been over 26 years seen I play this and to be honest 4got all about it. Now seeing this and the hope of playing it again just overwhelms me. I remember now it has 4 army's and all have some special strength and weakness. I was 12 at the time I try to play it was not easy with epilepsy thankfully my older brothers play it with me. This game lead me to War/starcraft, C&C and others. A BLAST from the PAST love to play it again.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view. Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.
