I beg you to release this game but also the first one too (Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone). I have so many good memories of these games connected to playing them with my dad, my little brother, cousins. The atmosphere of Hogwarts is deeply connected with memories of going to the cinema for the movies as a kid. And don't forget great music of the Jeremy Soule that made this game unforgettable. Must play!
My family and I would rent PS2 games cause that's what all we had back then. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was one of those games. I have so many memories of this game. The beginning part with the trolls was so much fun to just mess around in. I would love to play these games again!
Better yet, the first 3 Harry Potter games that were developed by KnowWonder on PC - they had the same vibe and gameplay, it's like a trilogy. Totally different from the more action-focused console versions too. I love these 3 dearly, but getting them running on a modern OS is not so straightforward (shoutout to the community-made DX9 renderer).
Ces trois jeux résumes littéralement mon enfance et mes débuts pour ma passion des jeux vidéo. La licence vidéoludique Harry Potter est une super façon de revivre les aventure du célèbre Apprenti Sorcier. J'ai adoré explorer les couloirs de Poudlard et son parc, l'ambiance musicale par Jeremy Soule est magnifique. Ca serait génial de refaire ses aventures, résoudre des énigmes magiques, combattre des créatures fantastiques et finir la collection de cartes de sorcières et sorciers célèbres.
A Completely Absurd Demand from Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters
Dear GOG Team,
We, Lord Voldemort, the One Who Must Be Taken Seriously (but in a fun way), along with my loyal Death Eaters, demand that you add the Harry Potter collection to your DRM-free library. Failure to comply will result in a curse so ridiculous, even the Sorting Hat will reconsider its life choices.
Why? Because GOG, you are the chosen ones—the rebels of the gaming world. Steam? Pfft. You’re the only platform worthy of such magical freedom. So we demand every Harry Potter game, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Quidditch World Cup (yes, that one). You can’t possibly leave out the magical llamas and Hagrid’s hut Wi-Fi hotspot, can you?
Let the world experience Harry, Ron, and Hermione battling dark wizards while Snape broods about how the graphics aren’t dark enough. Oh, and don’t forget Dumbledore—he’ll be squinting at the screen like he’s trying to decipher ancient runes. Meanwhile, Ron will probably complain about the controls and say something about his lousy luck.
If you don’t comply, we’ll unleash a curse so absurd it’ll make the Whomping Willow do the Macarena. And as a bonus, we’ll send you a complimentary Dementor who, we promise, will not suck the life out of you. Probably. Also, there’s a robotic camel we’ve trained to fire artillery, but we’ll get to that later.
So, make it happen. The wizarding world is waiting. And the llamas are getting impatient.
Yours in absurdity,
Lord Voldemort and his Very Confused Death Eaters
P.S. The artillery robot camel is coming too. Just... deal with it. We’re on a tight schedule.
The Harry Potter games were some of the most interesting games I ever played. Not only was every version different (Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PC/GameCube) but they were all bangers. These were the first games I remember had a language option and as I didn’t know English overly well at the time of the first game release it was nice to be able to play a game in Spanish all the way through. Once I knew it well enough I switched it back to English and would learn while playing. It will forever hold a special place in my heart because of it.
Starting with the Philosopher's Stone up to and including The Prisoner of Azkaban, the three games were really special for a freshly teen me. They became memorable and special for me to this day, for what they allowed you to experience and it's not just because of the franchise, it's something that was less common on the market - to make you feel like a wizard. Not like a super powerfull legendary badass - simply a guy, who is also a wizard, just like anyone around him in this universe. Now sure there were games where you could play as a wizard, but they all were all soooo battle heavy, even if you were starting off as a runt, the final goal was to become some fireball and lightning spewing warrior (as an example) that battled evil on a battlefield.
These games in turn, maybe weren't mechanically the best, maybe they didn't follow the plot to a T and also have the cliche of having to defeat evil, they approached the subject more from a civilian perspective, if it makes sense. Sure we also encounter monsters and baddies, but also some mundane aspects like having lessons or exploring the castle in search of secrets (probably more if not for the limitations at the time), which helped make it feel more like a civilian would, in a society where everyone is a mage. Something like: "oh no, a gnome stole my shoe, guess I better pull out the slippery floor spell again", rather than "lightning bolt from the sky, NOW"
In tandem with the books, this gave you a feeling of simply "living" an ordinary school life of a fairly ordinary wizard boy and this I believe, is the biggest part behind the giant success of the latest Potter game - Hogwarts Legacy.
The first 3 games really captured that vibe for me and many others, as we can see now and that is why we want them brought back and I say this not as a Pottermaniac. I like the story and all, but to me the important thing about these games is not that you are Harry, but rather that you "live" in a magical world when playing them.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the first game I ever played. I never finished it as a kid, instead, it was my dad, who didn't even play videogames that finished it. It's one of my most memorable experiences and I hate the fact that these games are basically abandonware. If they could be preserved I would instantly buy them to keep my memories of these amazing games alive.
These were wonderful childhood memories. I bought the Lego collection, but these felt better. I'd love to share these titles with my family, so the younger generation can enjoy fun jank.

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.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth

Also included are various alternative missions, ranging from the protagonist sneaking around and snapping photos of targets to bomb disposal, all out destruction, and more.Action Stealth

Fable IIFable 2 is the second game in the fable series by Lionhead Studios, it is an open world role-playing game. It has a simple story line where the hero needs to save Albion from the evil Lord Lucian by collecting together the other three heroes to defeat him. Interactive cut-scenes are a large part of the game however the main character never speaks and all dialogue is uncontrolled.
The game features a large variety of game play and freedom, allowing a player to shape the world around and the characters appearance and moral standing based on decisions throughout the game. The player can also get married both same and opposite sex and bring up children to childhood but no farther, expressions are a lot more interactive with NPC's than beforeOpen world Action Fantasy
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008.
The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
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.Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
