Game works without issues with the basic Windows compatibility settings. Really unique 2D RTS title - haven't played anything quite like it. Would be nice to find it widely available again - The company who owned the rights doesn't exist anymore. Todd Templeman might know more - he is one of the original founders.
The others have already pointed out why this one should make it to gog. I only wanted to emphasize the quality of the soundtrack. That alone should be argument enough.
Aside from that, there is also another wishlist entry for this game with more than 600 votes.
Ahh, The Tone Rebellion! That’s a deep cut—definitely one of the most unique RTS games ever made. The whole concept of controlling different tribes of floating psychic jellyfish (the Struggle) against the creeping darkness (the Tone) was surreal. It wasn’t just about base-building and combat but also about managing the mystical energy flow.
And yeah, that OST? Pure atmospheric brilliance. Those eerie, ambient tracks made the game feel otherworldly. Hard to find another RTS that captures that same dreamlike quality.
This one is a unique RTS with a moody, alien atmosphere and somewhat adventure-style elements, if I remember correctly. Figuring out how it all works was enchanting, and wanting to see what comes next part of its allure. I would love to be able to play this one again and believe that it would be a breath of fresh air for many who would experience this for the first time.
I love this game, was my first RTS played.
The music, the gameplay, enviroment and story (very simple tho) are very unique. This game marked my childhood.
Is so sad that is not a very known game, it deserves to come back and more people to know this magnific title. It inspired me so much and keeps inspiring me nowadays.
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.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe).
In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies.
It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.Fantasy Comedy
