Playing GTA San Andreas was pure freedom. I’d ride bikes through Grove Street, climb Mount Chiliad, and skydive over the countryside. The gang wars, jetpacks, and customizing CJ made every moment unique. Cruising to Today Was a Good Day while causing chaos? Truly iconic gaming memories!
Take care to include the missing music files and the version to NOT be the censored one! Rockstar retroactively butchered the game, affecting even the legit customers who purchased it normally, back in the day!

Rockstar doesn't give a damm about PC, never has, never will. They also don't care about game preservation, i mean, when they announced the remasters of the GTA Trilogy, they decided to delist the originals because... i don't know, maybe we are to dumb to understand the reasons, or maybe, like i said, they don't care about preserving their games and their legacy (which has always been bad on PC). So, don't get your hopes up that this and other Rockstar Games will make it to GOG, but hey, maybe i'm wrong... i hope i am.

It took me a couple of attempts to finish this game because there was so much to do. I often went to my friend’s house to play, since my PC was too slow. Once we discovered cheat codes, we couldn’t stop waging endless battles against the police. I came back a few years later to finally finish the main plot. ;)

This is my favourite GTA. It was a fun romp, reliving the badass 1980's - which IMHO was the best decade by far. And the music ... oh the music! That was really the major part - one that stuck with me the most up until this day. When I got tired of shooting (which was good fun - don't get me wrong), I would just drive around the city for hours, listening to the radio stations... Not only to the top-notch selection of music, but also to talk-shows. Those were really hilarious.

This would be the one GTA game I wanna save. I already left the franchise for many reasons. But I always deeply respected Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I been to Florida for a few vacations since then. In my opinion this was the absolute best GTA game. Nearly every character is well written. Also given great voice actors that does their respective characters justice. The absolute best overall soundtrack in the franchise. I simply loved the entire map design as a whole. There's a lot of weapons to keep you busy rampaging for hours. I also loved you can own businesses. Some truly amazing rewards for doing the extra stuff. The campaign alone is so damn good!!! This felt like a great movie you just wanna keep watching the cut scenes. There's plenty of surprises hidden around the map. Considering this was originally planned to an expansion pack to GTA III. This turned out absolutely amazing!!! I even felt many areas it's superior to GTA III. I even felt this one has something everyone could possibly love. It's mind blowing such a game actually exists. Sure I was heavily disappointed by the newer version. Honestly a lot more people rather own the original version on GOG. Also considering GTA is among the best selling game franchises to date. Even outside of sales, this is going to sell like no tomorrow.

This was the first game I bought, I was around 10 maybe 11 (just joking I was obviously 18, totally legal xd). When I see only the cover of the game I feel that VIP PREMIUM VIBE from back then. I was having so much coolness from the game it lasted for years lol and actually I gonna download it again right now fellas at 30 :V be well.
A game I never really played but watched my cousins went through it. It was a vibe I was different from GTA San Andreas (another diamond of that era of everything on a single disc), all so colourful and neon no matter where you went. It was a fun game to watch, but I think getting a chance to play the OG version of the game would be an amazing to be able to do on my downtime.

[ENG] The fact that the creators didn't succeed in refreshing the classic GTA series is probably known to most people. The stripped down soundtrack, plastic graphics, bugs and pathetic physics mean that there is no atmosphere from the original. That is why the return of these classic products from the series is a must-have. My uncle had the original Vice City. I loved playing this game at his place, collecting M16s from one place and having a little fun on my own in this beautiful city. I am counting on refreshing these memories. I am counting on the availability of this product in the GOG store in the future, because it is worth it. [PL] O tym, że odświeżenia klasycznej serii GTA nie wyszły twórcom, to chyba wie większość osób. Okrojony sountrack, plastikowa grafika, błędy oraz żałosna fizyka powodują, że nie ma tego klimatu z oryginału. Dlatego powrót właśnie tych klasycznych produktów z serii to must-have. Vice City w oryginale posiadał mój wujek. Uwielbiałem grać u niego w tę grę, zbierać M16 z jednego miejsca i trochę poszaleć na własną rękę w tym pięknym mieście. Liczę na odświeżenie tych wspomnień. Liczę na dostępność tego produktu w przyszłości w sklepie GOG, bo warto.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake. MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them. Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning. Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.
