This game would benefit from having a GOG release as it's going for absurd prices for a physical copy now. I don't think there are any other digital releases either. Having this game here would have me buy it instantly.

I played the demo disk of this for hours, along with the Medevil and Spyro demos, it costs up to £150 for a copy of this now which is insane. Not sure if I'll ever get to see a proper pc port but for now I guess i'll just use an emulator.

I love this game and its soundtrack, which I still listen to today. The game is fantastic with gravity-defying movement inside a combat robot. It reminds me a lot of a spaceship game with the robot walking on the ceiling. The animation between the levels has the excellent quality of an anime. This is a game that deserves to be kept with care on GOG.

demo disk, played the first level over and over again, always wondered whats beyond. help me satisify this curiosity. also it is probably the only ghost in the shell game that exists.
Never played it because it was a console exclusive and it never came out in the PC. That wrong should be righted! The GITS IP deserves a PC game that isn't an always online multiplayer game (which I guess doesn't exist anymore).
These are the games that deserve long term preservation efforts. Weirder, smaller games that never really got the chance they deserved due to limited release within, what used to be, the release window of the PS1.
Those games also need your vote!
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Mercenary Force
Mercenary ForceOver one hundred years ago during the mighty Shogun era, the Lord of Darkness sent his fearsome army to terrorize the Japanese countryside. Using the Dark Lord's powerful magic, his evil minions spread famine, plague, and pestilence wherever they went, leaving the peaceful population hopelessly oppressed. All who challenged the wicked Lord were mercilessly slain as a warning to all those who had any further thoughts of rebellion. Then one day while meditating, the great Shogun, Tokugawa, had a divine vision where he saw a small group of mighty warriors rise up to defeat the evil Lord. He immediately set out to recruit the five bravest and most skillful fighters in the land. After months of searching he was finally ready to put his dream into action. It was time to unleash the Mercenary Force.
