Story:Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island. The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.Show more

While I voted for this a long time ago in the original Wishlist, I was reminded to come to the new Dreamlist and vote for this game again given that EA has decided to delist the game from Steam, another reminder that we need much better work with preservation, something that even GOG has to deal with given publisher agreements and their disregard to keep their games being available and playable for new generations. Please GOG, try to contact EA and Codemasters and make it possible for this game to come back and being available on here. About the game itself? while is not way near the quality of the ARMA series nor is able to compete with the original OPF, the games was good and really deserved better, it was a good mix of OPF and 2001 Ghost Recon, it tried to compete against ARMA and lost, but that doesn't mean it was a bad game.
this was one of the first computer games i ever have the fondest memories of, i used to go round my gandfathers at the weekend and play this game, it was a large part of my teenage years
The only problem I ever had with this game was the 30 fps limit on console. Its a shame this game didn't find its audience, because at this time there was a lot of people who would've loved it. Its your hardcore military sim, you get punished brutally for mistakes. But unlike a lot of military sims this game felt really fair and balanced, it doesn't feel quite as unfair or brutal as most military sims. The freedom in the co-op/single player missions are fantastic and what makes this game shine. You could have you and your friends hop into a helicopter together, drop half the team near the objective and coordinate with your friends. It feels like a true sandbox game.

Outcast
OutcastOutcast is a 3D third-person (with an optional first-person view) action game with adventure elements. In search of five sacred relics, the protagonist travels through the five continents of Adelpha (plus one tutorial island). Each land has its own landscape (mountains, lakes, forests), populated areas, as well as dozens of minor problems - small quests that the hero is required to solve. Most Talans populating the world can be conversed with about a variety of topics. A large portion of the game consists of finding key characters and performing quests for them; some of these are optional, though most must be completed in an adventure-like linear fashion in order to advance the plot. Cutter is free to travel between the continents using special portals. Apart from exploration and completing quests, Cutter will also fight many guards and creatures. At his disposal are six futuristic weapons (railgun and others); ammunition for those guns is scattered around and can also be produced by mixing items. Aiming help is provided in the form of laser sights. Sneaking up to the enemy and punching him out silently is also possible. Gadgets such as a holo-decoy can be used to help Cutter gain the upper hand in combat. The player character can also jump, climb, swim, dive, crawl, and ride a local animal known as Twon-Ha for faster travel.

Blake's Hotel - Daphne's Uncle Blake has invited the gang over to his hotel for a ski weekend. Upon reaching the hotel they learn that the ghost of the Ancient Chieftan is scaring all the customers away, as he isnt happy about a hotel being built on his burial grounds. Soon Uncle Blake is kidnapped, and its up to Scooby and Shaggy to find clues and hunt this ghost down. Ha Ha Carnival - The gang arrives at an almost-deserted carvinal, looking for some fun. Soon enough Fred, Daphne and Velma get trapped in a pond when they go out in one of the rides. Not only that, someone has broken the rollercoaster tracks. Then an evil looking phantom clown has Scooby and Shaggy being chased all around the carnival. Another mystery for the pair to solve. Both mysteries have Scooby and Shaggy on their own, collecting clues and putting them together. You control Shaggy mostly while Scooby just keeps him company. The game interface involves walking around and/or choosing actions from a menu and using them with objects. A password feature is provided so you can continue where you left off.
