Story:"Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is a tactical RPG for the Nintendo 64. Featuring a gripping storyline with multiple possible endings, and a genre-defining character class system, this strategic epic has rightly retained its place in the hearts of tactical RPG fans for over a decade. The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. There he witnesses the plight of the lower classes – the victims of a tyrannical ruling elite whose only thought is for the preservation of their own lofty status. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: to betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society."Show more

I have played this game for *thousands* of hours. It still holds up to games released today and should be archived for eternity. Players new and old can dive into this fantastic, timeless, RPG. One day I hope to see a continuation/remaster, but I'll take eternal archiving :].
This game has an incredible story and gameplay like no other game I have ever played outside of the series. It is like playing Risk blended perfectly with an RTS.
This one was one of my favorite games on the Nintendo 64, I know is a long shot but a port or even better a collection of the ogre battle series would be a dream come true, the games have great strategy and characters and engaging story many customizations options for your armies and multiple endings so replay value is also there if someone liked final fantasy tactics there is a lot of chances they are going to like this game too. I still remember my playthroughs and the choisces I made, it would be grea to have it on GOG and relieve those memories again!

This game, while difficult to grasp at first, had a profound effect on me and my perception of the RPG/Sim genre. It really comes at you with a unique perspective and rich story along with introducing you to uncommon game mechanics. One of the most replayable games I've ever owned with each playthrough coming in at about 35-45 hours. Sadly the IP seems to be stagnant. It really needs an avenue of official availability if it won't be getting a remaster anytime soon.

I would call it the greatest game that ever came out for the N64. I would also say that it is the greatest console-based strategy game I have ever played. The art style and gameplay are very unique and I don't think any other game has properly replicated or even approached a similar style.

This game was my true first experience with gaming, with role playing, with deeper story telling. The political intrigue, the army customization, the classes, the multiple endings, all opened a brand new world for me.

My first videogame purchase with my own money and my first introduction to stratigic rpgs. Hundreds of hours unlocking the progression of the different classes, exploring the maps for hidden items, recruiting special characters and monsters. FINDING OUT secret advancement for the Golems, Combination spells! The game was ahead of its time.
One of my all time favorite memories as a kid is going to visit my grandparents and uncle for Christmas and playing this on my uncles N64 after he beat us in Mario Kart If there was ever a game that everyone should play at least once it's this game. It has everything you could ask for Beautiful backdrops and animations that still look good to this day Combat that takes a while to master but is so much fun when you get the hang of it The amount of player choice in just how many different classes and combations in the game A gripping story that can resonate with players and a cast of characters that, while simple, leave a strong impact on you as the game goes on I'd love to see this on GOG so more people can see and experience it for themselves and possibly get more people into the series. Games like this should be preserved and played by everyone 10/10 will be playing again soon

I used to rent this from my local Blockbuster as a kid and I'd hide it for weeks so I could play it for as long as I could. This game deserves every vote and ounce of love it can acquire.

I remember renting this from blockbuster once upon a time and beating it. Years later, I would acquire a copy for myself and beat it again with everything has to offer. Wonderful gem of a game and it deserves to be more readily available in this day in age. Make it so, GoG! I'll buy 10 copies (within reason) and gift them out!

Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!
Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe). In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies. It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.
