Psygnosis had a specialty for world building, giving games with a fairly straightforward idea a whole history.
G-Police looked great at the time and cutscenes blew other companies of the time out of the water. Gameplay is fun and it makes flying around and shooting down enemies compelling with a good story before Ace Combat had a chance to even think about doing it.
I only had the demo-version of this game, growing up.
But I fondly remember it being able to go all six axis movement in a sci-fi environment.
Arguably, it trained me for the Desert Combat Mod on Battlefireld 1942 some years later, where I was a master of the Harrier Jet xD
I've always wanted to try the full game, but never got around to it, or couldn't afford it.
Didn't help that I didn't understand much English back then.
I would love to see this game being enabled on modern systems and available for legal purchases.
G-Police had great, fun but very challenging combat & flying mechanics, with a interesting presented story, and fantastic FMV cutscenes doing wonderful world-building. It's a nice mix of arcade and flight-sim lite gameplay, in a futuristic Blade Runner inspired colony on Callisto, where gang wars and ultra-powerful corporations fight amongst themselves, with you trying to keep the peace!
G-Police came out on both PC and Playstation, so updating it for modern systems would be much easier compared to console only releases. It's abandonware, so it'd be right up GOG's alley for restoring it, thus allowing newer audiences to experience it.
G-Police was a mix of film noir and cyberpunk that made for an amazing atmosphere and to top it off? Cool as spaceships over the moons of Jupiter. I loved it on PS1 so I'd love to get the PC version.
Unlike the Weapons of Justice sequel, this one also came out on PC! It is truly a great game with unique cyberpunk atmosphere! This one belongs to GOG! I will definitely buy it.
One of the first PC games I played at my uncle's place way back then. Somehow managed to withstand my otherwise flaky memory and come back to my mind once in a while without being able to remember this game's title until I saw it just now in a "Beige PC Bounty Hunters" youtube video. Would love to play it again!
I hat the trial on a PCAction magazine back then, grafics and cinematics blew my childish mind, and i was so proud to get the full verison , maybe 2 years later, and a joystick to finally fly around without braking all my fingers.
cyberpunk setting and the german sync were superb. fkin great game i swear ;D almost 30 years later i would go and get a old joystick on ebay just to catch all the good memories ;D
I have very fond memories of playing this game with my friends in middle school, we used to have a contest where we'd play the campaign and the day after we'd tell how many missions we beat and how did we do the difficult ones. We'd get so hyped that I still remember mission 16 (the one where you faced a gunship for the first time), the plot twist mid-campaign, the mission where you'd get the Venom.
I remember my friends being aghast at how bad it played on my 166Mhz pentium-equivalent with some off-brand 3d capable video card boasting 2MB of memory! For those with money enough to buy it the game shipped with the fabled VooDoo2. But I blew their mind when a year later I bought a VooDoo 3 (!!) and was able to crank video quality to the max!
Was one of my first PC games that woke my love for arcade shooters and flight simulations. Really cool story that stuck with me until today and i would really have loved the franchise to be continued. Unfortunately this game is hard to get so a revival would be amazing

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
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
