The first game I ever bought for PC (there was a TV story about it). Unfortunately I didn't play it until a few years later because my computer didn't have a 3D accelerator :) It was worth the wait though. I still have the CD version, unfortunately it won't run on new Windows systems.
Very neat little arcade title. You control a ship and you run around the map, shooting enemies and solving some puzzles. The game is tricky to get it working properly on modern machines since the game speed is tied to the processor frequency which means that there are some areas that you cannot get past unless you limit your processor speed. I hope to see this game here on GOG working on modern operating systems. :)
A ridiculously charming PSone and PC classic I knew here in Australia by its alternate title "Overboard", managing to combine ship based exploration and combat together with a delightfully tropical soundtrack, excellent visuals, and charming voice clips that add a level of whimsy to plundering the high seas. It's a game that deserves a second chance to be played by a larger audience.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.Open world Action Fantasy Sandbox

It is an indirect sequel to A Link to the Past with the same version of Hyrule but with new characters and gameplay elements. Unlike the series' tradition, many areas of the world are accessible from the beginning of the game and the dungeons can be visited in any order. Puzzles are encountered not only in dungeons but also in the open world, a part of them revolves around the game's 3D visual effect. The 3DS touch-screen display shows the world, dungeon or map depending on where you are.Open world Action Fantasy Historical Sandbox

Changes in Episode 2 were much larger as the main character perspective of the game was switched from Jr. to Shion to match up with Episode 1 and 3. Some characters are removed from the story or have their fates changed or revealed. Some dungeons are removed, edited, or replaced.
It also answers some questions that the original did not as you follow a different path through the same overall story. It also changes the combat mechanics of Episode 2 to match Episode 1.Fantasy Science fiction
