Players take on the role of a hunter and are sent to explore a settlement within the Monster Hunter universe, completing quests on their journey to seek and slay monsters whilst improving their skills and earning equipment upgrades. With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests the latest edition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of the Nintendo 3DS system to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature allows players to quickly access in-game books, weapons, field maps and mini games whilst the high quality graphics 3D visuals of Nintendo 3DS powered by the latest iteration of Capcom's MT Framework deliver a unique and stunning world for players to explore. Taking advantage of the portability of Nintendo 3DS, players can exchange their guild card that contains all their hunter's information with other players via StreetPass. Players can experience the world of Monster Hunter alone or in four player local play using Nintendo 3DS. Finding nearby hunters to adventure on quests with is now even easier via the local Nintendo 3DS search feature. Wii U players will be able to enjoy the hunt with Nintendo 3DS players via a local wireless connection. Gamers that own both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS can take advantage of the inter compatibility of save data between the two consoles, taking the hunt from the living room wherever they go.Show more

All Monster Hunter games are similar. However, MHTri and MH3U are special because they are the only ones that feature underwater combat. Unfortunately, neither of these games is available on current platforms, making it nearly impossible to play them legally and safely today. It would be really great if MH3U were available on modern devices. MHTri was my first Monster Hunter, and I truly want its legacy, as well as MH3U’s, to be preserved the right way.
"The first time I heard about Monster Hunter was in its third installment for the Wii console. The experience was quite simple because I didn’t want the game itself, but rather the controller. In America, they released a game set with a Super Nintendo-style controller, but in my mind, all I was thinking about was using the controller for other games But the moment I put the game in and the cinematic started with the game’s introduction, it hooked me. As I began playing, I got hooked on facing colossal monsters, essentially with what could be called a stick, improving through the falls and seeing the monster's characteristics. It was an incredible feeling, and I wish I could relive that first time I played this beautiful game."

The third generation of Monster Hunter was such an important time for the series, Capcom and the Monster Hunter team innovated so much in terms of map and monster design and the effects are still felt throughout the series to this day. I think that it would be incredible for players of the newer games to be able to experience the 3rd generation of Monster Hunter, especially since right now, there's no easy way to play these games, unlike MHGU and the two fifth generation games, there is no way to legally play them on modern hardware. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is such an important game for the series but also for me personally, such a beautiful experience with incredible musical compositions, map designs, art, monsters, weapons and an overall good time with that old sense of wonder that you'd feel when booting up a game for the first time.

Honestly, the only way modern players can try the underwater mechanic, one of the best mh games ever released and a true nostalgia piece. As a monster hunter fan myself, i would recomend to at least try this or mh4u if u want to try an "og" mh game.
My predilct game mh ,brachidos and abisal amazing, i can end all game ando engoy custom builds, hunt the plesiont un the water really my favorte mh portátil game ever
The game that means so much to my, the acuatic combat was really good (when you're not playing the 3DS version XD), the charismatic monsters like Dire Miralis, Abbysal Lagiacrus, Gobul, Nibelsnarf, Hollowed Jhen Mohran, Rust Duramboros and many others that are closed on this game and they didn't deserve that fate, they have their rights to shine once again and I'll fight to see this game on GOG and preserve the legacy of MH
The first monster hunter I played, so many hours, and the funny part is that I found it on a pawn shop, but was really a discovery, this game made my r1 button don't work on my old 3ds
Water combat was so fun and had such an amazing and special atmosphere to it wich would be way better with the right stick of modern controllers, I used to play it in a 3DS The Deserted Island map is so cool and beautiful in its underwater zones and the Flooded Forest had such a cozy beautiful nice aura with its rainforest vibes, loved this game, also amazing fights like Gobul, Royal Ludroth and Lagiacrus, sadly Gobul is one of the few monsters that never got to future games and stayed in 3 Ultimate like Qurupeco and Gigginox
This was the entry title for me to this magnificent world of monster hunter. I've played it so much on my WiiU and 3DS... I'd definitely buy a PC version of it, to relieve those days. Also, aquatic battles and Lagiacrus, baby!
The improved version of the base game which adds a few more monsters and subspecies. I already really liked MHtri which introduced me to the series but the Ultimate version is really a whole other level, during my I spent a lot of hours in co-op with my brother (I was on 3DS and he was on WiiU) it was really the good old days for me. It would be really great if this game was ported to Gog because unfortunately stuck on 3DS and WiiU because even today it is my favorite Monster Hunter for its atmosphere and especially on the fact that it is the only one which offers the underwater hunting mechanics which divided but which personally I had really liked

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Ugh!
Ugh!Ugh! is an arcade/flight game developed by Bones Park Software Artistic and published in 1992 by PlayByte for the Amiga, Commodore 64 and DOS. The game is a clone of Space Taxi. It features a caveman who, in order to appeal to his beloved future mate, controls a stone-age muscle-powered helicopter, picking up passengers and flying them to the desired location for money. The player must venture through 69 levels, and must evade natural obstacles as well as hostile Dinosaurs and "Birds" (actually pterosaurs). Collisions with obstacles, hard landings and touching obstacles with the helicopter's rotor inflict damage to the helicopter. Also, powering the helicopter exhausts the pilot, which may be recovered by picking up fruits knocked off Tree with Stone. Stone may be also dropped on a hostile monster, knocking it out for a short time. Ugh! was later distributed as a shareware mainly from Bulletin Board Systems and magazine cover disks. The Commodore 64 version of the game also features a two player hotseat mode, in which two players compete to finish the level, while the DOS and Amiga versions feature a cooperative simultaneous two player mode. The game keeps tracks of the player's progress using level codes; the codes for single player levels are Christian Death song titles, the two-player codes are song titles by Current 93.
