Story:Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In (released in Europe as simply Project I.G.I.) is a tactical first-person shooter developed by Innerloop Studios and released on December 15, 2000 by Eidos Interactive. It is one of the first computer games to feature realistic weaponry and tactical combat situations. Pursue and defeat a homicidal ex-Russian Colonel before she turns Europe into a nuclear wasteland in Project IGI: I'm Going In. This first-person shooter emphasizes stealth and guile instead of massive firepower. Jones has to sneak into the toughest military installations in Eastern Europe, and once inside, use his skills in thievery, computer hacking, sabotage, and reconnaissance to stop the madwoman. The enemy's Artificial Intelligence will react to his every action and use military tactics to track his position. In order to counter its surveillance, bunkers, tanks, and gunships, Jones is equipped with NATO spy gear and assault weapons. If the odds get stacked too high against him, he can call in a napalm strike via his Map Computer. Upon release the game garnered mixed reviews due to a number of shortcomings, such as poorly programmed Artificial intelligence, lack of a mid-game save option, and the lack of multiplayer features. However it was praised for its superb sound design and graphics, thanks in part to its use of a proprietary game engine that was previously used in Innerloop's Joint Strike Fighter. It was followed up in 2003 by I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike.Show more

It was my favorite game from my childhood. In every corner at this game i felt like i was there before, in a dream or something. But when i grown up - i couldn't find it anymore. I don't want to download illegal copies, use "No CD" patches etc. I just want my favorite game back.

Project I.G.I. was so innovative for its time ! One of the first, if not the first FPS game, to offer so much liberty in large open maps and close close sensations of being an agent going behind enemy lines, trying either to be stealthy or to go full guns blazing. The game was hard and had no save system but this was all part of the fun, it pushed us to surpass ourselves and learn every part of the map to get to the end of the mission. It was one of the games opening the era of great tactical games back then, it needs to be preserved !

I wrote a big 1000 character post about this but the page error'd out and deleted it when I hit share so I'll keep this brief. I never really got along with my dad, but one day he brought this game home and we just sat and played for hours at a time, I value my memories of this game as one of the few times me and my father really connected and weren't arguing about something. It's a foundational memory for me and something that will stick with me forever, the fact that right now this game is essentially lost to time is disappointing to say the least. But this program is a fantastic chance to bring it back. I wont lie to you and say it will sell a billion copies, but for the fans of this game, nothing comes close. It would be incredible to have this back in my life.

I have searched a lot on the Internet and in the GOG Store for this game I have been frustrated for not being available to download it in a legal and safe way from the most beautiful games that I enjoyed playing in my childhood. She has a special atmosphere.
Playing the game with cousins during out childhood while sneaking throught enemy base was always fun and an adrenaline rush in our childhood . Love the game a lot

Not only does Project IGI have beautiful visuals (shared with the Joint Strike Fighter engine), the soundtrack is also very fitting (and still on my phone to listen to!) - it's certainly not the all-time best spy action game for everyone, but it has a special place in my heart since childhood. Oh, and yes, you can reach the end of the game world after like 3-4 hours of walking.

I remember like it was yesterday, I was vising my cousin who had a PC (my family didn't own one at the time), it was Christmas 2002 or 2003, and he showed me this game. It was incredible, looked and sounded great, had great atmosphere (still remember a map when there was constant rain) and seemed so realistic. I would love to be able to play it again on modern hardware.

One of the first game I've ever played on my Second Hand PC. Still remember the time when I found it randomly while going through start and it only had a folder icon but not game icon. I dont even know if I completed it or not because all I could see were only 3 levels in game. I never found out if there was more to the game after those 3. Then I moved on to other games like Prince of Persia Trilogy and Halo.
I've never forgotten the game my older brother had on his computer when he was still living alone, so it would be a huge treat to play it again. It makes me feel like a real agent, whether I want to do my best to sneak around the lanes or I just want to fight loose.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Mercenaries 2: World in FlamesMercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment. Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, because they don't know rule #1: EVERYBODY PAYS.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Mercenaries: Playground of DestructionDuring the last years of his reign, the North Korean president Choi Kim attempted a reconciliation with the country's southern neighbor, with the ultimate goal of reunification. However, his son, General Choi Song, and the military clique under his leadership, strongly disagreed with the old man's views. Eventually, Choi Song orchestrated his own father's assassination, took control of North Korea, and severed ties with the outside world. Eventually, plans of a nuclear reactor construction began to surface. China, South Korea, the Allied Nations and even the Russian Mafia sent troops to North Korea, competing for power in the troubled region. A bounty of a hundred million dollars for General Song was declared. This is where the mercenaries enter the playfield. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a free-roaming war action and driving game with open-ended gameplay in a large world. The player can choose to control any of the three mercenary protagonists, each with their own strengths: North American Chris Jacobs can sustain higher damage; Jennifer Mui from Hong-Kong is proficient in stealth; Mattias Nilsson from Sweden can run faster than the others. Each of the mercenary also speaks different languages, which makes him or her more or less suitable for work with particular factions. Players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52", a list of most wanted criminals in North Korea, as well as a number of factions. Four factions have moved in to take advantage of the coup for personal gains; each faction will offer the player resources such as vehicles and supplies, as well as missions that the player can use to make money off of. If the player makes a faction happy, they will offer intel on the locations of various bounties from the deck. Players have a vast array of resources available to them to get the job done. It is possible to commandeer tanks, choppers and and any other military hardware to blow up the game's destructible landscape across the North Korean countryside. Helping out various factions provides access to numerous vehicle drops, supply drops, and air strikes.
