Sim Theme Park and SimCoaster must be released as a GOG Enhanced Edition double bundle! These are two early examples of 3D Theme Park & Management Simulation gaming - and two of the best examples within this (still incredibly popular) genre of gaming! Bullfrog! GOG! EA! Whoever needs to hear this - please let GOG take control of these two lost classics! I'm sure we'd all love to replay these incredible early park simulators - and you can even walk around your parks and RIDE THE RIDES! Brilliant!

This is just an insta buy for me. I grew up playing this game and I've always kept a fond memory of it being one of the first pc games I ever played. I recently purchased a copy from ebay because it's lost to time
This was one of the first PC games I ever played. I distinctly remember one time I stayed home sick from school but I still felt well enough to play this. I started playing and the next thing I remember my dad was coming through the door bec he was getting back from work. 8+ hours had passed and it only felt like a few minutes. Such a great game and I would love to be able to get an updated version of the game that I can buy digitally to run on my current PC.

Immediate classic for me growing up. I cannot express how simple yet engaging this game is with its theme park design and early steps into online gameplay via shared parks. I'd imagine they'd have trouble implementing the online features but I would just be happy just to play through the singleplayer theme park just for the nostalgia. I really miss this game.

This game is one of my cherished childhood games. Its so fun to see the guests running around and build custom rides...and then RIDE them! My main reason wanting this as a GOG Dreamlist title is the game is PLAGUED with compatibility issues on everything past Windows XP. Getting it installed on modern systems is a complete hassle and may not even work if all steps are applied!! Please give this game the modern treatment it deserves!
This game defined my childhood. It instilled a love for deep, technical, and inspiring gaming experiences that I carry with me to this day. It's a rite of passage for every new computer I get that I try (and usually fail) to get this game running - it would be an absolute delight to see it properly preserved on GOG.

I remember getting this for Christmas with the "Gold Edition" bundled in back in the day, it was a "blind buy" by my grandmother, she just thought it looked fun. I couldn't thank her enough; I sank so much time into this game, and even when I wasn't turning a profit, it was still fun just to see the atrocious tracks I could build- and ride! In first person!- and subject the guests to. Every day after school, I'd jump back in and see just how much crazier I could make my parks. I lost count of how many different versions of the first three parks I made, how many jumbled roller coasters and flume rides. Getting all the Golden Tickets was tough, and I never did unlock the final park. I've honestly been checking GoG on and off for years now on the off chance this might show up, given that its predecessor Theme Park is already accounted for. To think it might finally be within reach is almost more than I dared hope. Maybe, just maybe, I can finally unlock the Space park and finish what I started twenty four years ago.

I played this game on PlayStation 1. A good, enjoyable game. I really liked riding the attractions that I built myself. Plus, you could walk around the park and explore your territory. I hope this Sim Theme Park (2000) on PC is just as good as it was on PlayStation

Played this on PS1, and damn was addicted to it. Played everyday before going to school, I was 10. I loved this game and so want to play it again legitimately. Sure, there are emulators or even the abandonware PC release, but the PC port just has something off and the game doesn't really play well with emulators. If this gets released on GOG, I'll buy it instantly!

Please bring this to GOG, its criminally under-known. I first got this game at a scholastic book fair at one point in time, and its probably the game I played most as a child. I know there are two different language versions so if you could bring both that would be amazing. I know I have been able to get this running on modern systems, but an official gog release would be amazing and much simpler, allowing more people to play a classic from a company that is sorely missed. RIP Bullfrog

Siren
SirenThe story revolves around an interconnected cast of characters that possess a power which enables them to see and hear what a nearby character sees. The game was followed by a PlayStation 2 sequel, a reimagining for the PlayStation 3 and a film adaption. Siren is divided into stages, each taking place in one of ten areas in the village of Hanuda, and organized chronologically in a table called the "Link Navigator". In order to complete a stage, the player must accomplish a primary objective that usually involves reaching an exit point, subduing undead enemies called "Shibito", or finding an item. Objectives in different stages are interconnected via a butterfly effect, and a character's actions in one stage can trigger a secondary objective in another stage. There are miscellaneous items scattered throughout each stage that give the player further insight into the plot's background. Once obtained, these items are archived in a catalog and can be viewed at any time during the game's duration. The game's player characters possess a psychic power named "sightjack," which enables them to see and hear what a nearby Shibito or human sees and hears, and thus pinpoint its position, as well as gain knowledge of their activities and of the position of obtainable items. The clarity of each target depends on the distance from the player character. Once a point of view is located, it can be assigned to one of certain buttons of the controller to easily switch between multiple points of view. However, the player character is unable to move during use of the ability and is thus vulnerable to attack. The game encourages the player to avoid Shibito rather than fight them. Characters can walk silently, avoid the use of a flashlight, and crouch behind objects to elude detection. Certain mission objectives require the player character to use items and/or the environment to distract Shibito from their activity, in order for them to achieve a goal. Others require the player to escort a non-player character. Player characters can also shout at any time in order to get the attention of nearby Shibito. Within most stages, the player character can hide in certain places such as cupboards and lock doors to prevent Shibito from entering. When a Shibito hears a sound made by the player character, it will search in the direction from which they heard the sound. If a character is seen by a Shibito, the latter will pursue the character to kill them either with a melee or ranged weapon or by strangulation. The Shibito will also shout to alert other nearby Shibito. Once the character has remained out of the Shibito's sight for a period of time, the Shibito will give up and resume its usual habits. Weapons are available for the player throughout the game, ranging from melee weapons to firearms. While Shibito can be knocked out in combat, they cannot be killed and will reanimate after a short period of time. If a character is injured, they can recover after some time has passed. Characters will lose stamina during combat and while running.

King's Bounty
King's BountyWhile King Maximus ruled the land, life was good in the four continents. The Sceptre of Order rested safely in his hands, keeping at bay the forces of darkness that infested the world. Children were happy. Merchants prospered. Honest folks made honest livings. And nobody complained much. But far across the waters, Arech Dragonbreath, leader of the Dark Legions, looked enviously upon the wealth and splendor of the four continents. With the aid of great magic, Arech stole into the chambers of King Maximus and wrested the Sceptre from the grip of the sleeping King. He then released his evil forces, ordering his minions and lieutenants to seize the land in whatever manner they pleased (as long as it involved considerable amounts of pain and terror). Arech retired to his new lair on the four continents and waited for King Maximus’s certain resistance. The King and his forces, however, offered none. Fearing some kind of trickery, Arech peered into his prophetic crystal to see what Maximus was up to. The crystal showed the King lying in bed, his face pale and gaunt like death itself. Over the King stood a noble young knight with the strength and resolve of great leader. The King was speaking. "Come here" he gasped, "I am weak and breath is a luxury. Please." He extended his hand and the great leader drew close. "You must restore my kingdom. I, too, must be restored. I am tied to this land and as it dies, so do I. My days here are numbered. You must recover the Sceptre if I and my land are to live."Arech watched this exchange and quickly buried the Sceptre somewhere on the four continents. He draw a map of its location, then shredded it into 25 pieces. He gave one to each of his 16 villainous nobles, kept one for himself, and the other eight he hid with powerful artifacts around the four continents. Your time grows short, leader. You have your quest and King Maximus’s last hope. May you be guarded in your journey by the Spirits of Order. Good luck!

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.
