I found this game in a bargin bin at a pawn shop in high school and got curious so I asked Dad to buy it for me, what followed was possibly one of the wildest deep dives into biblical lore while it also being a spectical fighter.

Despite being a forgotten game on the PS3 and Xbox 360, it was later released on the PC, but no one cared about the port. I really wanted it to be preserved on the PC!! It's a beautiful game, with incredible gameplay and a very interesting story!
This game came out at the height of the military shooter era, so it largely went unnoticed by the game community. However, it has amassed a cult following and for good reason--it's absolutely insane. The screenshots alone show the game's kaleidoscopic, eclectic art style. A few of these screenshots don't even look like they belong to the same game. Games like this need preservation more than popular titles, because these games will be forgotten if they are not preserved. GOG, to me, feels like a store that gives games a second shot at life. El Shaddai isn't dead by any means, but it deserves a surge of popularity that GOG releases tend to bring.

Like most roguelikes Cataclysm: DDA follows turn based gameplay. The world has support for seasons and dynamic weather conditions and the season lengths can be modified during world generation. A typical world has cities, towns, rivers, forests, bridges and other landmarks. Cities and towns generally have all the common establishments generally found in real world such as houses, departmental stores, malls, parking lots, swimming pools, hospitals, malls, etc. Exotic locations such as Science Labs, Military installations, missile silos can be found in remote places throughout the whole world.

Super Bonk
Super BonkThe fourth game in the regular "Bonk" caveman series, Bonk is back on his first Super Nintendo outing. In this side-scrolling platformer adventure, the gameplay is similar to Bonk 3. Super Bonk allows Bonk to travel through time from his prehistoric levels, the insides of a dinosaur, a version of modern Chinatown, and even the moon! Along the way, Bonk can find power-ups that can change his form to creatures such as a shooting Bonk crab, a dinosaur form called "Big Kronk", find candies that change his size from tiny to huge, travel through transportation tubes, and find multiple bonus levels. Bonk still uses his head to smash his enemies, propeller seeds that allow Bonk to fly, and for the first time, can carry spring flowers on his head in his continuing battle against his arch nemesis, King Drool!
