Please! The PC game was the best one, with 32X colors and resolution, combined with the improved Sega CD audio. But it is tricky to run on modern systems, so it's a prime game for the GOG Preservation Program.
Please i want the definitive versión, thats is the pc, exactly the windows 95, with the musics and the extra leves, this game is not working on windows 10 with out tinkering around, i played in the past, in the sega genesis, never finished at that time, is very fun to play with plataform , with secrets to be found, this is the best pitfall ever created , the graphics and animations are on par or superior to aladin sega genesis, also the music and sounds has so much soul ,and awsome composition ,beatifull to listen , adding atmosphere to the gameplay , really a gem of a game, that can not be outside of gog program

I still have my physical copy of the game and it runs "out of the box" on Windows 10 and it's an absolute blast! However, the game needs some tinkering to get it running at it's full potential. A proper full screen mode with wide screen support would be a phenomenal addition if the game were to ever be re-released digitally. I remember reading a game magazine at my school library and finding a map to help me beat the fourth level!

Possibly the only Pitfall game worth playing these days. Who's jonsing to pick up a copy of Super Pitfall, anyway? Besides, this has Pitfall built into it; all that's missing is Pitfall 2 as a pack in somewhere. Frankly, I don't know where the idea to reboot pitfall as a modern platformer came from, but I salute the design team nonetheless for finding a way to revitalize a pre-NES platformer into a full proper adventure.

I played this game a lot between 98 and 2000. I still have the original CD but I would like to have it on GOG. Unfortunately I couldn't get the game's music to work. Please!!!!
I've got very fond memories of playing this game back in the day on my Sega Mega Drive. I'd like to revisit it through the PC version which, according to Digital Foundry's John Linnenman, is the definitive version of the game. Unfortunately, getting it to to run on a modern operating system is needlessly convuluted.

This game had some of the best 2D animation of it's time, on the level of Aladdin and Earthworm Jim! The PC version needs to come back as it's the best version of the game!
Those games also need your vote!
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's AwakeningDevil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a prequel to the first Devil May Cry. The game plays very differently from its predecessors, as it puts much more emphasis on style rather than simple demon slaying. As such, combat is much more intense and faster than before. An all-new Style system that allows you to select your fighting style has also been incorporated.

Devil May Cry 4: Collector's Edition
Devil May Cry 4: Collector's EditionThe player plays as Nero throughout most of the game. He is equipped with the Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver, and the powers of his Devil Bringer. The Red Queen features an Exceed Gauge that can be charged up, allowing for subsequent attacks that are more powerful than regular slashes, until the gauge empties. Nero also has the powers of his Devil Bringer, and can use it to pull himself towards enemies or vice versa. The Devil Bringer may also be used for context-sensitive throw attacks, leading to high damage and various effects depending on the enemy. Nero's Devil Bringer also gains new abilities during the course of the game, such as being able to detect secret missions or caches of Red Orbs. Nero eventually gains the ability to use Devil Trigger after getting the katana known as Yamato, which increases his Devil Bringer's power, thus changing his Devil Bringer attacks into more powerful versions with different animations

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.
