Simply a wonderful game! it recreated the time of Robin Hood and medieval England in a way that captures the magic of the time period like few other games do (lords of the Realm II or Stronghold might have done that later) but the cool thing about this game, is how many game modes there is. The overall goal is to become the dominant lord of England. But this can be done in several ways: you can hold a tournament and challenge another lord to joust with lances over the control of lands. Or you can take a more direct approach, make a small army, and try to conquer regions outright. You can even try to break into an enemy lord's castle at night and see if you can kidnap (i mean liberate :P) a young fair lady to court her. There is no easy way to play this game any more that doesn't require you to fiddle with many settings. Therefor this game belongs on gog.com spread the word guys! we need this game on gog
Those games also need your vote!

Chessmaster
ChessmasterChessmaster includes plenty of features to improve your chess skills, no matter what level you are. In Chess School, you can learn basic and advanced tactics before challenging computer-controlled opponents in single-player or multiplayer modes. The game includes a variety of gameplay modes, such as Quick Game, Rated Play, Handicap, Setup Position, and Puzzle. Watch as each piece attacks each other on the checkered battlefield. The iteration of the Chessmaster series on the PlayStation 2 contains most of the features available in the corresponding PC game - which, in this case, is Chessmaster 9000. You can play training games (with all the hints and analysis tools available), rated games (your rating changes after each play), puzzles (chess ones, not the "build the picture" type), learn chess by browsing through the hundreds of tutorials available in the Pandolfini's Chess School or watch famous games. There are, however, some new features in the PS2 version; the most useful one is the Online mode. Other is the "living world" of the Chessmaster Championships, where the AI's rating changes, too, as they play each other. The last one is more spectacular - a fantasy-themed - orcs vs. humans - game mode with animated chess sets and a 3D environment. You get to play chess in a forest, inside a castle and in the desert.

Chess
ChessChess was written in March, 1980 and converted to IBM PC in December, 1981. This is probably the very first chess game running in MS-DOS. Taking it's age into account, it's no surprise that the game features only text-mode graphics. The chess board and the pieces are drawn using ASCII characters. For the same reason, it's also no surprise that the user input is based just on keyboard commands. In Chess there is no multiplayer mode - you play only against the computer. As usual, in this kind of game, you can select the A.I.'s skill level. The game offers 24 difficulty levels.
