Enter the ID4 Alien invaders during the Flight Sim Revolution. Descent/Freespace, Homeworld had no box office representation or cult-classic status; Wing Commander, speaks for itself. 90s kids know this was the phenomenon that started it all. Even the VHS had a promo for this game. When it was new, jeez, the split-screen dogfights, the then-cutting-edge aircraft and the potential to truly duke it out with the baddies from the biggest box-office 90s grand slam unrivaled until the Phantom Menace and the Star Wars renaissance. Independence Day deserves more spotlight than its sequel film. Like Goldeneye, its true legacy isn't just a badass action film, it's in the long-overdue nostalgia for an epic sci-fi flight sim that needs to be shown to the next generation who grew up with CGI silver-spoons. In the 90s, this was how we got into flight sims. Even Rogue Squadron, splendid as it was, is still technically fantasy by comparison.
It was unforgettable because you had so many fighter jets to choose from and the cities were actually roughly modelled on true maps which was unique for it's time. It's 1 of the reasons why my profile name is inspired from your in-game call-sign. I played it with my brothers in head to head mode. It was fun and challenging because the cheats were a classic example of do almost anything you think you can do. My favorite part was to play as the alien attacker, turn on invincible shields and turn on friendly fire to attack human cities & buildings. I would like it on GOG since it would immortalize it and make it DRM Free unlike the other big guy. GOG please try to not use the DOSBOX emulation solution as it doesn't allow for the 3D Accelerated improved PC hardware graphics.

Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IIIIn 2006, Final Fantasy III reached North American shores in an official update/remake. The gameplay of Final Fantasy III combines elements of the first two Final Fantasy games with new features. The turn-based combat system remains in place from the first two games, but hit points are now shown above the target following attacks or healing actions, rather than captioned as in the previous two games. Auto-targeting for physical attacks after a friendly or enemy unit is killed is also featured for the first time. Unlike subsequent games in the series, magical attacks are not auto-targeted in the same fashion. The experience point system featured in Final Fantasy makes a return following its absence from Final Fantasy II. The character class system featured in the first game also reappears, with some modifications. Whereas in the original game the player chooses each character's class alignment at the start of the game and is then locked into that class for the duration of the game, Final Fantasy III introduces the "job system" for which the series would later become famous. Jobs are presented as interchangeable classes: in the Famicom version of the game, all four characters begin as "Onion Knights", with a variety of additional jobs becoming available as the game progresses. Any playable character has access to every currently available job and can change from job to job at will. Switching jobs consumes "capacity points" which are awarded to the entire party following every battle, much like gil. Different weapons, armor and accessories, and magic spells are utilized by each job. A character's level of proficiency at a particular job increases the longer the character remains with that job. Higher job levels increase the battle statistics of the character and reduce the cost in capacity points to switch to that job. Final Fantasy III is the first game in the series to feature special battle commands such as "Steal" or "Jump", each of which is associated with a particular job ("Steal" is the Thief's specialty, whilst "Jump" is the Dragoon's forte). Certain jobs also feature innate, non-battle abilities, such as the Thief's ability to open passages that would otherwise require a special key item. Final Fantasy III is also the first game in the series to feature summoned creatures, which are called forth with the "Summon" skill.
