The original Dead Rising is a truly unforgettable experience. You won't play an zombie game like this ever again. You play as Frank West that's working to uncover the truth in a mall invested with zombies. Just the game play alone has an insane level of depth to it. You can make mixed drinks or pick up magazines to improve stuff to a degree. You also have multiple endings including one you just play until the game ends. You can wear a lot of different outfits. You get a huge variety of stuff to play around with. You can attempt rescuing people. The bosses stands out in a huge way. Among the first time playing this, you can't expect a game this impressively done. The game allows creativity to keep it fun as well as refreshing.
Why Dead Rising 1 Should Be on GOG The original Dead Rising (2006) is a true cult classic—a bold, chaotic, and innovative zombie survival game that laid the foundation for a beloved series. Set in the iconic Willamette Parkview Mall, players step into the shoes of photojournalist Frank West as he battles through thousands of zombies using anything and everything as a weapon. Its real-time progression, sandbox structure, and dark humor made it stand out in a sea of survival horror titles. Despite its impact and legacy, Dead Rising 1 remains unavailable on GOG.com, a platform that champions DRM-free access, retro gaming preservation, and modern compatibility. Bringing Dead Rising to GOG would finally make this masterpiece accessible to fans old and new—without reliance on third-party launchers or outdated DRM. A GOG release should also ensure proper controller support, updated resolution options, and smoother performance on modern PCs. Many fans have nostalgic memories of surviving the 72-hour outbreak—and many more have yet to experience it. GOG is the perfect home to give Dead Rising a second life. It’s time to let Frank West’s story be told again—this time with freedom and flexibility. Let’s bring Dead Rising to GOG, where classics come back to life.

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.
