Take care to include the missing music files and the version to NOT be the censored one! Rockstar retroactively butchered the game, affecting even the legit customers who purchased it normally, back in the day!

Rockstar doesn't give a damm about PC, never has, never will. They also don't care about game preservation, i mean, when they announced the remasters of the GTA Trilogy, they decided to delist the originals because... i don't know, maybe we are to dumb to understand the reasons, or maybe, like i said, they don't care about preserving their games and their legacy (which has always been bad on PC). So, don't get your hopes up that this and other Rockstar Games will make it to GOG, but hey, maybe i'm wrong... i hope i am.

Playing GTA San Andreas was pure freedom. I’d ride bikes through Grove Street, climb Mount Chiliad, and skydive over the countryside. The gang wars, jetpacks, and customizing CJ made every moment unique. Cruising to Today Was a Good Day while causing chaos? Truly iconic gaming memories!

This is my favourite GTA. It was a fun romp, reliving the badass 1980's - which IMHO was the best decade by far. And the music ... oh the music! That was really the major part - one that stuck with me the most up until this day. When I got tired of shooting (which was good fun - don't get me wrong), I would just drive around the city for hours, listening to the radio stations... Not only to the top-notch selection of music, but also to talk-shows. Those were really hilarious.

It took me a couple of attempts to finish this game because there was so much to do. I often went to my friend’s house to play, since my PC was too slow. Once we discovered cheat codes, we couldn’t stop waging endless battles against the police. I came back a few years later to finally finish the main plot. ;)

This would be the one GTA game I wanna save. I already left the franchise for many reasons. But I always deeply respected Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I been to Florida for a few vacations since then. In my opinion this was the absolute best GTA game. Nearly every character is well written. Also given great voice actors that does their respective characters justice. The absolute best overall soundtrack in the franchise. I simply loved the entire map design as a whole. There's a lot of weapons to keep you busy rampaging for hours. I also loved you can own businesses. Some truly amazing rewards for doing the extra stuff. The campaign alone is so damn good!!! This felt like a great movie you just wanna keep watching the cut scenes. There's plenty of surprises hidden around the map. Considering this was originally planned to an expansion pack to GTA III. This turned out absolutely amazing!!! I even felt many areas it's superior to GTA III. I even felt this one has something everyone could possibly love. It's mind blowing such a game actually exists. Sure I was heavily disappointed by the newer version. Honestly a lot more people rather own the original version on GOG. Also considering GTA is among the best selling game franchises to date. Even outside of sales, this is going to sell like no tomorrow.
Those games also need your vote!
Black & White 2
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.

Freelancer
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.
