Captain Blood is a fascinating sci-fi adventure that sees you traveling the galaxy to track down and eliminate your own clones. Along the way you'll pilot your ship over fractal terrain and communicate with a host of alien characters using a pictographic language reminiscent of modern emoji. I've long thought this game deserves a modern remake or re-release, so it'll be great to see GOG do what they can to preserve it.

I never finished it. But the book that came with the box told a great story, and I want to try and get that feeling back that the game gave me. 30 years later it still intrigues me as to what could be.

Never played that game, but I would like to. The music in the game was composed by Jean-Michel Jarre, the French electronic music genius. The game was released by the French Studio Exxos around 1988. You have to track down five clones of Captain Blood exploring the universe.

I can think of no game more worthy of preservation than this, whatever one might think of the gameplay or even the presentation. Its quirky inventiveness is quintessential GOG

Tales of Destiny
Tales of DestinyTales of Destiny is a follow-up to Tales of Phantasia. Like its predecessor, it has the structure of traditional Japanese role-playing games, but substitutes turn-based combat for action-oriented one. Battles take place on separate side-scrolling screens and resemble those of a fighting game. The player controls the main hero, navigating him on the battle screen and performing various attacks and combos. Other party members are controlled by the game's AI, but it is possible to pause the battle at any time and assign new combat style to any one of them.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view. Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.
