Hey GOG team and fellow classic game lovers! I’d love to see Barnyard: The Game added to GOG’s library. This underrated gem was a fantastic mix of open-world farm life, mini-games, and fun story-driven gameplay. It had a unique charm, engaging missions, and a lot of nostalgic value for those of us who grew up with it. Right now, it’s nearly impossible to find a legal digital copy, and bringing it to GOG would make it easily accessible for fans and new players alike. With GOG’s DRM-free philosophy, it’s the perfect home for a game like this. (and I'm sorry I used chat gpt to write me this but I want the game back)
This game was amazing. I remember squirting on ben every morning and until the last chapter where he died i couldnt help but make a new save and squirt on everyone but ben. Put this in my games library immediately!
Barnyard (2006) absolutely deserves a comeback on GOG Galaxy, and here’s why: 1. Nostalgia & Cult Classic Status The game, based on the Nickelodeon movie, has a nostalgic following. Many players who grew up with it would love to revisit it on a modern platform. 2. Underrated Open-World Gameplay For a licensed game, Barnyard had surprisingly solid open-world elements, fun minigames, and an engaging farm life simulation. It offered a mix of exploration, missions, and character interactions that made it feel like a mix of GTA (but on a farm) and a life sim. 3. Lack of Availability It’s not on Steam, and finding a legit copy is tough. GOG specializes in bringing back classic PC games, and Barnyard would fit right in. 4. Modern Compatibility GOG is known for optimizing older games for modern systems. Many fans struggle to get Barnyard running smoothly on Windows 10/11, so a GOG release would make it easily accessible. 5. Revival of Licensed Classics With more retro licensed games making a comeback (like SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated), there’s demand for more childhood favorites. GOG could help revive these lost gems.
I missed out on this game growing up, but I saw clips of it on youtube every now and then. From what I saw, it was a hell of alot better than most other licensed games at the time. Hell, it looks better than most licensed games that come out today! Would love to be able to experience this for the first time.

Played it alot when I was young I loved it's features how it would open the world as you progress an all the things you could do. It was my first game with a day night cycle an weather transition an it just felt alive the world that u could explore was delightful. The fact you could run around grab some ingredients make new foods was awsome. Truly now its nostalgiafest an definitely wouldn't mind buying it again to play.
Those games also need your vote!
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VIIIFinal Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.

The game first appeared only in Japan on Nintendo's Super Famicom (known internationally as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System).

An original video animation produced in 1994 called FINAL FANTASY: Legend of the Crystals serves as a sequel to the events depicted in the game.

An enhanced port of the game, with new high-resolution graphics and a touch-based interface, was released for iPhone and iPad on March 28, 2013, and for Android on September 25, 2013. FINAL FANTASY V has been praised for the freedom of customization that the player has over the characters, achieved through the greatly expanded Job System. Despite being released only in Japan, the Super Famicom version sold more than two million copies. The PlayStation version has earned "Greatest Hits" status, selling more than 350,000 copies.

Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VIFinal Fantasy VI first debuted in 1994 as the sixth instalment in the iconic Final Fantasy series. Innovations included the ability to play all the main characters as the game's protagonist, and to this day, its epic story intertwining each of their fates is still highly rated and wildly popular. With plenty of abilities available and the magicite system for controlling spells/summoning, players can develop their characters any way they want. This was also the first Final Fantasy game to include the Ultima Weapon, the most powerful sword of all and a recurring item in subsequent titles within the series.

Freelancer
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.

Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy IVFinal Fantasy IV is a remake of the classic Japanese RPG that was first released for SNES, known as Final Fantasy II in the West. Unlike the many subsequent ports (to Playstation, GameBoy Advance, etc.), this release is a full remake, programmed from scratch with real-time 3D graphics. The characters have a "super-deformed" touch. There is also voice acting during cut-scenes. A new option has been added to the menu, which allows the player to read a conversation between party members and receive advice from them. It also features many gameplay additions. The difficulty level has been increased, not only beyond the difficulty of the Western SNES release (which was reduced compared to Japanese original and subsequent ports), but even beyond the original difficulty. The party members are still bound by class, but they can now hunt for so-called "augments", which can be found or stolen from enemies and which grant the characters additional bonus abilities, resistances, spells that their class would normally not allow, etc. Beside those major changes, there are also plenty of minor additions. It is possible to obtain bonus items after exploring every corner and filling 100% of an area map; Rydia, the summoner girl, has a new monster summon who can be customized in various ways; there is a new quest involving the "naming" moogle of the original game, etc.

Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IIIFinal Fantasy III is the third FF game for the Famicom. The turn-based battle engine has been improved: if the enemy is defeated, the next character will automatically switch to another enemy, and not hit the air, like in the previous two games. The game itself is, like the previous games, a top-down RPG where your characters travel in the overworld, sometimes entering cities and dungeons to buy equipment, rest and fight random encounters and bosses with turn-based combat. Final Fantasy III also introduces various series staples, such as the Job system and the Moogle species.
