This game was and still is one of my all-time favourites. A great storyline, engaging gameplay and puzzles that made you work for it. In more recent years the only issue I have with it looking back is the localization from Working Design which needlessly increased the amount of hit points for enemies and also took a few too many liberties with the translation. Honestly it would be amazing if GOG were somehow able to bring not just the Western version of this game to the roster, but also the Japanese version if only so that people could possible experience the game as it was originally intended.
I remember playing this game on Playstation 1 . Adventure RPG at its finest. A lot of people call this a zelda clone, but it is not, it is an underrated rpg. I remeber playing i believe it was iside of a ship, and there was a part that there was a lot of platforming. Imagine platforming in an isometric view, it was so frustrating, but I had fun. and I would like to play it agian.
please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please bring this game out it was so much better than zelda
Just bing it!!!!!!! Its an amazing zelda-like game. Puzzle solving, action packed, great story, great visuals. One of the best in PS1. Too bad this game was forgotten by the community
This game is such a "unknown gem". Alundra was a blast to play years ago (I still own the game on PS1) and always enjoy when there is a mention or anything about it online. I'm a fan of Zelda games and seeing this back in the day had me very interested about it and boy did it get me throughout. Gameplay, story, music, visuals, puzzles.
Why it should be added? I wish more folk to learn about this game just in general, or hear about it and bring it out of the "underrated gem" realm of games.
Sony's response to Zelda and going to even darker themes Nintendo would never go with their hero Link. Alundra is a tough puzzle nut and has the first elements of a Souls-like RPG. And the story. Oh dear lord, the story. Only Terranigma and FF VII reached this level of emotional journey dealing with the theme of loss and failing in your quest.
Do you remember that moment growing up, when you discovered the world could be more complex and beautiful than you ever imagined as a kid?
Alundra is that moment for me; every pixel, every sound effect, every piece of music and dialog is so perfect to me, it's a very unique mix of atmosphere and elegance.
This game helped discover a way to experience the world in ways far deeply than I've ever felt from any book, movie, TV show or any other form of art before or since.
Please preserve these memories for me and for all the people out there; help more people experience this masterpiece of a game
This game shaped so much of what I like in games and storys today. Though I never experienced a game like this again, yet.
I love how it portraits different kind of people, their flaws and fears.
What I like the most: The mechanic to enter peoples nightmares to try and save them from demons and inner conflicts. Those nightmares were thrilling and ugly and confusing and hard to get through sometimes. But even at a young age I noticed the detail that was put in each one. Like using a maze-puzzle part you need to cross as a player, to show the characters feeling of being lost and not finding back. I wasn't scared to look into those characters abysses. I was thrilled to learn about them in such abstract ways and hopefully save them.
Not to forget: The beautiful and epic music which also plays a big role to set the tone for this dark adventure.
This is easily my favorite Zelda clone of all time. I played the crap out of this as a kid, and even revisit it from time to time. I played this again recently and it still holds up today. Mainly because it has a slightly darker story then what you might expect from the genre.
It's like Zelda for adults. The story was dark and amazing, the puzzles were thoughtful and challenging. I beat this game several times when I was a kid and loved each experience. Sadly the sequel was a huge downgrade, but maybe we can bring the original back to life. This game deserves more recognition!
Age of Empires: Collector's EditionAge of Empires is a real-time strategy game where players build a great civilisation out of an Ice Age tribe over a period of 10,000 years. Players accomplish this by exploring their surroundings, conquering other civilisations and accumulating wealth. Key elements include building and controlling units and managing resources.
Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings starts the player out in the Dark Ages, roughly when Age of Empires ends. The goal remains the same: use advanced technology and troops to establish your civilisation's dominance. But now the player has better toys: each of the 13 civilisations have unique buildings, soldiers and advantages. The Teutons have Knights, for instance, while the Vikings have Berserkers. Winning the game requires military dominance or the construction of wonders of the world. The single-player game is fun, but most players love Age of Empires 2 for its wildly popular multiplayer component. Thousands of civilisations rise and fall every day as gamers around the world compete in matches over the Internet.
This bundle includes Age of Empires: Gold Edition, containing the original Age of Empires and Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome Expansion, plus Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Age of Empires II: The Conqueror's Expansion. The bundle is great for fans of the series to have all of the titles in one place; and for newbies it is less expensive than buying all the titles separately.Action Historical Warfare

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

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
