This was my first video game RPG that I ever played. Also was the first the one that I ever completed. I was used to playing D and D with my friends in the early '80s until the mid .80s. Then, unfortunately for me but fortunately for the video game industry, I moved away from them. So no more TTRPG. My mom bought me a Nintendo that Christmas with this game, known to me as Dragon Warrior, Legend of Zelda (gold cartridge), Defenders of the Crown and, of course, Super Mario Bros 3. I played Dragon Warrior first and fell madly in love with it. Of course I played the other games but I kept coming back to this one. Eventually I acquired a PC and I have been hooked on CRPGs ever since. I would love for this game to get the GOG treatment.

This was my introduction to RPGs. I remember my older brother, my father, and myself all creating save files on our NES cart and working away to get to the ending. They gave up after a while but I persevered...and eventually wiped out their saves so I could replay the game again and again. The game that started one of the biggest RPG franchises of all time, it absolutely deserves to be part of the GOG Preservation Program.

Typical for Telltale games, it is a cinematic adventure where the story is driven through the player's choices. Decisions are carried over and influence characters and events. The game uses the original title's block design and introduces a story for the game world as there was none for the original title. At the start of the game the player can choose between six characters, three male and three female, with different appearances.

Set in the aftermath of its award-winning predecessor, Sniper Elite 4 continues the series’ World War Two heritage by transporting players across the beautiful Italian peninsula, from sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal towns, to colossal Nazi mega structures, daunting forests and giddying mountain monasteries inspired by Monte Cassino. Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun. If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe.
