And although Duke isn’t exactly what the Doctor ordered, he’s exactly what the world needed.Show more

The original Duke Nukem is one of the few platformers I was actually able to beat. Just the right difficulty for me. A lovely game from days past - a good memory for me, personally.

This game was quite amazing and a piece of history, was Commander Keen with GUNS AND ATTITUDE, i played quite a lot back then and i would love to have it on GOG for me to play it again.
This needs to be dragged from the greasy fingers of Randel S. Pitchford III, it is a part of gaming history and deserves to be preserved, it isn't much but it was our first introduction to the Duke and lets not let Duke Nukem Forever be the last thing the character is remembered for.
The very first game that started a legend that would be known as Duke Nukem. Sure Duke 3D was a game changer that made the character recognizable by many, but the first Duke Nukem game is just as important since it is part of the main series. Duke shows off his one-man army capabilities for the first time against the evil Dr. Proton and his techbot army in this simple easy-to-play 2D side-scroller shooter. I especially found it hilarious how Proton would communicate with Duke via TV screens throughout the game. The levels allow for full exploration to find keys, powerups, and other secrets that can rack up big points for the high score like collecting the red balloons. Duke's legacy deserves to be forever preserved for future generations of gamers to enjoy and learn about the history why Duke was, and always will be a true king in gaming.

OG Duke Nukem was a very cool platformer, with large levels to explore, densely packed with secrets and traps. While not the most sophisticated, it was a blast to play and while I have it already here, I find extremely narrow-minded, unjust and unfair that Randy had Duke removed from pretty much everywhere but steam and gatekept the remasters of Duke 1 & 2 for the Evercade. Duke deserves his spot on GOG back, keeping him out of here is plain absurd.

I could play a remaster of this game for Evercade consoles. I really enjoyed it and wish my friends could play it too, even if they don't have a niche console. It's a bit of a different vibe to Duke Nukem 3D or Forever. It's very plastic and it's meant to be. And at the same time it's pleasantly playable even today.

Congo Bongo
Congo BongoCongo Bongo is an isometric platform arcade game released by Sega in 1983. The game has come to be seen as Sega's answer to the highly successful Donkey Kong game that was released two years prior. The player takes the role of a red-nosed safari hunter who tries to catch an ape named "Bongo". The hunter seeks Bongo to exact revenge for an apparent practical joke in which Bongo set fire to the hunter's tent, giving him a literal "hotfoot". The game was named by Peter W. Gorrie who was the CFO of Sega at that time.

I, Robot
I, RobotThe game play consists of moving robot1984 over all of the red tiles while avoiding objects flying at you from the back of the screen. Eliminating the red tiles diminishes the shield at the back of the playfield which prevents you from flying to the next level. To get to all the red tiles, players sometimes need to leap across empty space which creates a permanent bridge between the two points. Leaps across empty space have to be timed so that the "eye" of Big Brother in the back of the playfield, which randomly opens and closes, does not see robot1984 and destroy him.

Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition Bundle
Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition BundleGrand Theft Auto V takes place five years after Grand Theft Auto IV and is now set in Los Santos. It centers around three protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. New to the series is that the player can switch between the three characters on the fly. They each have different missions, lives, and personalities. They also often come together, especially for heists, a complex type of mission where a large operation needs to be planned and executed by determining a strategy and hiring additional henchmen. As with previous games in the series, the gameplay involves gunfights and takes place in a sprawling, open-world city where players get around by acquiring transport (cars, boats, helicopters, etc) through less than legal means. Players can roam the game world, complete story missions, and partake in various illegal activities, including shooting civilians, robbing people, destruction of cars, and the titular act of car theft. These lead to a wanted rating of up to five stars, sending in a police force in pursuit. Continuing to resist the police will also increase it. The wanted status is lost by getting out of sight or by spraying the car.
