It was my favorite game of my childhood, but I don't think I have cleared this game to this day. One day I will. I'm not sure why exactly I loved it - it was probably all the action in this game, because I definitely didn't know the puzzles. The experimenting with all the levers and discovering different path was also really cool
The PC DOS (1991) version of this game was the first port I played - ah memories! A great game that has everything you need: cool graphics, neat soundtrack and gameplay that is challenging without being too hard so that you keep coming back to play it. Once you got used to the janky inventory system (you don't just pick up an item and that's it, you have to pick it up and then move the selected item slot highlight to a blank one, otherwise the object you pick up will drop back onto the floor immediately) you were away. Great graphics, playability and presentation make for another Bitmap Bros classic well worth your time. I am surprised this game hasn't had more votes as it is easily on par with their best game, The Chaos Engine. Anyway, if GOG do add it to their roster one day (PLEASE!) it doesn't take much to get it working in DosBox. Either that, or they could somehow wrangle getting the GODS Remastered version by Robot Riot onto GOG? It is no longer available on Steam.
After Remastered was delisted on Steam, I wondered if Robot Riot's remake would be more at home on GOG alongside other Bitmap Brothers classics like Chaos Engine. Moreover, I was surprised even the original wasn't on here to begin with. This game has become increasingly difficult to play in current day without owning a physical copy, and for as brutally difficult as it can get, it definitely deserves to be experienced.
That being said, the delisting of Remastered is due to licensing agreements, so this might be more complicated, but still. It's a rough as nails classic.
Enjoyed playing this game back in the early 90's. The emulated (Mega-Drive) version is way too fast paced which makes it harder to play. They had brought out a remastered version of this on steam at least a year ago but it's now been de-listed, to be released on other platforms and mobile. Proof why we need ports to be preserved on GOG, even when re-releases aren't even safe anymore.

Zork: The Undiscovered UndergroundThe purpose of the game is to explore and emerge successfully from the Undiscovered Underground. The player begins only with a low-quality Lantern and plastic imitation sword, a parody of the starting items from Zorks I, II and III. Upon entering the Undiscovered Underground, the adventurer is trapped by a freak avalanche. The only way to escape is to release the mutant Rat Ants (an echo from Starcross) and to direct them to the avalanche, which they dispatch in a manner reminiscent of Aesop's Fables. The player must demask the Grue vendor to gain the four candy bars and place the relevant objects in the Mud Forum on the appropriate corresponding floor symbols. This unleashes a mutant chase reminiscent of Planetfall where the adventurer stays one step ahead of the Rat Ants because of the shrewdly placed candy bars. However, the escape comes at the cost of unleashing a Rat Ant epidemic onto the empire and forces the adventurer to flee from the wrath of the Grand Inquisitor.Fantasy Comedy

Resident Evil 6Resident Evil 6 is the ninth video game installment in the Resident Evil series. It continues the struggle against zombies infected by the new highly virulent C-virus. The game uses the same over-the-shoulder view as Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, however with a new gameplay mechanic that allows players to slowly move while shoot. Players can select between three scenarios featuring multiple characters and intertwined storylines, and within these scenarios both stories and action cross paths. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay.Action Horror Stealth Survival
Resident Evil 7: BiohazardResident Evil 7: Biohazard is the first game of the Resident Evil series to switch from 3rd-person to fully 1st-person perspective. A complete refresh of gameplay systems simultaneously propels the survival horror experience to another level. It is as much horror as it is survival, boosting up scare elements and minimizing downright shooting action. The game allows use of Sony's PSVR Headset to play in VR mode.Action Horror Survival
