Loved the original one, never got to play this remake! I didn't have an Xbox so I didn't have the chance. I have played the psx one multiple times and I would do the same with this one!
I would like this game added since I never got to play it and adding it would make it accessible to many others like me. I am a big fan of the series and would love to experience it.
I remember really wanting to rent this from my local video store as a kid, but was too young. As an adult, I had finally gotten to see and play the series, except for this version, which I could only watch a lets play of. The new cutscenes in this version make it an entertaining new perspective on the beloved first 3d entry in the Metal Gear Series, and the gameplay has new twists due to borrowing mechanics from later entries in the series. Having this version on GOG would help make this game more accessible as it was only on the gamecube (and the prices it goes for nowadays are insane).
Metal Gear Solid PS1 was the greatest game of my childhood. It created a fire in me that has continued to burn into my adulthood gamer mentality. I did not own a GameCube and bought one in 2013. I spent an overt sum to purchase twin snakes through eBay. I beat it 5 times in a short period, I still periodically beat mgs PS1. Twin Snakes was fantastic all the nostalgia with a fresh coat of paint. This game is rare and hard to find this is peak metal gear and should be preserved for the better good. Metal gear is its own beast or extraordinary and all the games fill a special place.
I actually played the original version as well as this GameCube version. They altered some aspects similar to Metal Gear Solid 2 style game play. A great example being you just met up with Meryl. Suddenly soldiers ambush forcing you to shoot em to survive is much easier here. The famous going upstairs with gunned cameras is also easier. Even the torture section with Revolver Ocelot isn't as much of a button masher. Thus it's easier to get both endings. They changed some of the easter eggs mostly notably your save data with Psycho Mantis. This is also a two disc game that worked amazingly well. Some cutscenes are notably extended to a degree. This felt more like the true definitive MGS1 experience. If you know the original version well you'll do well here. Considering this is the solo GameCube Metal Gear game it's a very solid stealth action game. It's mind blowing a lot of people didn't play this version before. I could even argue ways it's better than MGS2. I strongly felt it's a decent remake of an PS1 classic. You are getting everything plus a little more than you even begin to realize. The original version already on GOG. I do think a lot of people would enjoy this version just as much as that version.
Those games also need your vote!
Shin Megami Tensei II
Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults. A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins. Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions. New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.

Gex: Enter the Gecko
Gex: Enter the Gecko"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning. One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place. When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!

Snatcher
SnatcherSnatcher is a cyberpunk-themed graphic adventure game directed and written by Hideo Kojima and produced by Konami. The setting and story of Snatcher is heavily influenced by cyberpunk and science-fiction media, taking place in a large futuristic dystopian city. The story revolves around an investigator named Gillian Seed assigned to investigate a breed of bioroids known as "snatchers", who are killing humans and taking their place in society. The game is set in a primarily first person perspective and uses a menu-based interface that allows the protagonist to interact with his environment. The player can choose to "Look", "Investigate", "Talk", "Ask" and "Move" (in addition to other options) to acquire key items or receive vital information from other characters. The player can analyze items in Gillian's belongings or show it to other characters. During key points of the game's story, the player must pass shooting sequences to defend Gillian from assailants. These shooting segments use a 3x3 grid which the player can target to fire at enemies. A shooting trainer, called "Junker's Eyes", is accessible at Junker HQ that allows the player to measure their accuracy.
