This is kind of strange case - this is a game I saw on store shelf when my parents were buying me a PC desk and some child-age game when I was five - and Soul Reaver was a game I wanted to get instead. I knew about series cause my father often played demo of first Legacy of Kain: Blod Omen, but I never got to play this exact game. Now, when it is delisted everywhere, as I am finally playing thru whole series (thanks to GOG for having Blood Omen) I wish I would be able to experience this game for first time.

This game was my entry to the series and love at first sight. The unforgettable intro, the dark settings, the music, and especially the voice acting and dialogues... Yeah, I was completely in love. I played it on PlayStation when it came out, and I remember that summer vividly, and a couple of years later on PC thanks to a magazine which included it for very little. I still have both my PS1 and PC copies from back then, along with the GOG version which is alas currently no longer for sale. Although I'm glad there is a remaster to buy I still think that the original is worth both selling on GOG and buying, and I hope it'll be back (in the library there is still a "soon" tag. I hope it means something) for everyone to enjoy and keep. Besides, it's the only title missing from the series now that Blood Omen is available (great, great job GOG), so again I hope it'll come back to its rightful place among the Good Old Games.

This game take a soft spot in my heart and so good memory of playing with mi little near me. A good sequel of Legacy of Kain that make you in love with all the rich lore.
What can I say, this game is a certified classic and the only way to play it legitimately is to either buy the stinky remaster that turns everything into AI re-textured butter or buy a Playstation 1 and hunt down the original game on PSX.

We really need the original SR1 back on GOG! This game is the backbone of the whole series and the jewel of the PS1 era gaming. Unforgettable narrative, writing and voice-line delivery. While it is good to have SR1 remastered, the legacy edition is still something I'm longing for. True nostalgia bomb.

I understand that we have the remastered version of Soul Reaver 1+2, but delisting it is an absolute crime! Like why? If that is bothering Aspyr and Saber Russia so much, they could've just provided the original game for FREE! Just get this game back, Aspyr and put it for FREE. No need for a removal!

Monster Rancher 4
Monster Rancher 4Raise monsters to explore and battle in this PS2 monster raising sim from Tecmo. This game improves upon previous installments by allowing more than one monster to be raised at once, interaction with the main character and the monsters, improved explorations, a customizable ranch, tag-team battles, improved 2P mode, a re-vamped battle system, and more detailed monsters. This game also features the longest most involved storyline of any Monster Rancher game to date. Your goal is to raise monsters to win in-game tournaments, explore for items, and improve your ranch. You can also test your raising skills by battling your monsters against a friend in 2P mode. The game still uses the innovative system of having a player insert music CDs, game discs, or DVDs into the PS2 to be read and used in making monsters. If you have a good sized collection of music, games, or movies, you can have access to a large variety of monsters very fast.
