Ecco is a strange game. Already, the idea of a sapient cetacean with powers and unique markings on their forehead is a tough concept to swallow. But the art, the music, the visual beauty of the entire thing brings one to a strange state. And Ecco is more than happy to play with that. Starting in a calm coral cove, going off to the icy north, and with your health and air to keep mind of the entire time. You'll end up in places beyond belief, and all while under some of the most captivating pixel art I've beheld.
play a lot back in the day even though is not official way to play it but I spent hours on it to explore even though idk English. on compilation handheld gaming device
Whenever I find myself reminiscing about the good old days of the past, there's one name that echoes back in song from far off into time: "Ecco," the favorite of the ocean. And their plight to fight a darkness that lies beyond the stars is a song well worth singing on here.

It’s a bit of a mess but it’s also an important part of gaming history. SEGA released a PC port of the SEGA CD version with a windows-heavy interface (typical of the era) and optional double-res graphics. A fan update was made to support modern PCs, search the Internet Archive for “ Ecco PC: Fixed and Enhanced Edition” for more info; this would be the perfect base for a GOG port.
Those games also need your vote!

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
