Why Need for Speed Heat Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It’s the Second-Best NFS Game Ever Need for Speed Heat is the ultimate return to form for the iconic franchise — a perfect fusion of daylight racing, nighttime outlaw action, and deep customization. It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, not just for preservation but for the recognition it has earned as the second-best NFS game ever, right behind whichever fan-favorite you place at number one (Most Wanted 2005 or Underground 2, depending on your camp). Released in 2019, Heat gave fans what they’d been craving: police pursuits, a huge open-world map, and a solid, offline single-player experience. By separating day and night events — clean street racing by day, illegal reputation-building at night — it added strategic depth rarely seen in arcade racers. The risk-reward system for night racing cranked up the tension, making every escape from the cops a pulse-pounding thrill. Customization is back in full force, too. From visual tuning to performance upgrades, Heat brings back that Underground-era creativity. And the car list? It’s stacked — featuring everything from JDM legends and supercars to classic muscle. Putting Need for Speed Heat on GOG would mean a DRM-free, preserved version of a modern masterpiece, free from client restrictions. It respects player freedom — just like the game itself does. It’s stylish, fast, loud, and unapologetically fun. In a world full of live-service racing games, Heat burns brightest — and it belongs in every racer’s GOG library.

HyperBowl: Arcade Edition
HyperBowl: Arcade EditionHyperBowl scores just like conventional bowling, but the style of play is entirely unique. In this virtual bowling game, you can steer the ball all the way to the pins! Sound too easy? Not really -- you must dodge trolley cars in San Francisco 2099, leap buses on the streets of Tokyo, navigate across a pitching ship on the High Seas, and avoid whatever other obstacles are thrown your way. Players seeking more predictable play can always fine tune their skills in a Classic bowling alley or bowl through a peaceful Yosemite forest.

Hyperbowl Plus! Edition
Hyperbowl Plus! EditionHyperBowl Plus! Edition is a 3D bowling-style video game made in 2001 by HyperEntertainment. It was published by Microsoft, and could only be accessed by use of a Microsoft Plus! CD-ROM. The version of HyperBowl included in Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP contains two of the six lanes initially available (Classic and Pins of Rome) and is designed for a single player. When the upgrade has been purchased and installed, four additional lanes are installed. Multiplayer support is also enabled, allowing up to four players to bowl and keep track of their scores during a game. HyperBowl is similar to a basic game of ten-pin bowling: the goal is to knock down as many of the ten pins as possible within thirty seconds. Unlike in normal bowling, the lane also contains obstacles, like moving vehicles in the Tokyo and San Francisco lanes and trees in the Yosemite lane. The player can use a mouse or trackball to guide the ball while it's moving in order to avoid obstacles and aim for the pins. A clock at the upper-right corner of the lane window displays the time left to knock down pins. The game displays players' scores in a similar way to the displays found in traditional bowling alleys. The game ends when all players have completed the ten frames.

Frontier: Elite II
Frontier: Elite IIFrontier: Elite 2 is, of course, the sequel to Elite and it continues in much the same way. You have a ship and limited funds, and nowhere to go but out into space. Trade, fight, hunt criminals, work for the various governments, anything goes in Frontier. There are few, if any, limits on what you can do or where you can go. And Frontier's universe (with approx. 100,000,000,000 planets and moons) is so big you'll never see the end of it.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
