That game is very interesting and feels like simulation Sid Meier's Games . I played it a long long time ago when I was a teenager... but never understood how the game worked... but I would like to find out and experience it once again.
This is a very unique strategy/management/sim type of game where you take control of several species that you have to guide through the evolutionary path. The goal is to be the first player to evolve to intelligent life. HINT: the first intelligent species does not necessarily have to be H0mo Sapiens. ;) (nice censor there GOG)
It's a very fun game that is almost impossible to get running nowadays. Even Windows XP struggles with it. If GOG could get their hands on it and somehow manage to get it working on modern machines it would be amazing!
I absolutely LOVED this game as a kid and I would desperately like to play it again (maybe i'd even be able to understand why i was constantly losing all my little amphibian guys). I've never been able to get my copy to work on newer PCs, even wth emulators.
This game has such a interesting premise and quite good sprite art. I'd love to be able to play it easily, given even installing this on Windows XP causes issues.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.Science fiction

Sega GT 2002Sega GT 2002 is a sim racing video game published by Sega. It is the sequel to Wow Entertainment's Racing Game Sega GT, released in 2002. The game was originally intended to be released for the Dreamcast, but when the Dreamcast was discontinued in 2001, the game was reprogrammed for the Xbox. Following its initial release as a retail game, it was given away on a disk with Jet Set Radio Future in specially-marked Xbox console packages. Sega released Sega GT Online for the following year, with extra cars and an online facility to be used with the Xbox Live. Despite being an Xbox exclusive, the franchise would later die off and as a result, the Forza Motorsport series would later come to Xbox starting in 2005, and would later have sequels to counter the Gran Turismo franchise.
Sega GT 2002 introduced plenty of innovative features, many of which were later adopted by future games of its kind.Non-fiction
