I played this alot as kid as it was one of the few games I had. I never understood why all the other classic pc star wars games got released on steam and gog but this game never got a digital re-release. It would be awesome if you guys could get it and release it with fixes and modern support.
I have really fond memories of this game. In terms of preservation, this is a prime example of a game that should be preserved. I have a physical copy of the game, but my laptop doesnt have a disk drive, my desktop doesnt have a disc drive, I had to borrow a external disc drive from work to be able to play this game, it is cheap and easy to get online, but you have to have a peripheral disc drive to install it, and then hope microsoft doesnt release an update that breaks the game. I would love to add this to my library
Let me be clear, this is by far not a great game. It is entertaining and was an interesting entry. I never beat it myself but I do own the CD and have played it. It's one of the better games in the franchise.

I played the hell out of this as a kid and the main theme is still stuck in my head as a core memory. I still have the CDs for this too and I wish I could play it again and maybe even show it to friends and younger relatives.

It may have been a buggy mess, but it was a fun buggy mess. For someone that played this as a kid, I have some fond memories of it. This game should be available on GOG for people.
This was the first PC game I ever bought and I was never able to play it because my PC at the time failed to run it lol. I would love the chance to finally jump into it over a decade later!
This game paved the way for Empire at War which is one of the best SW games made and has a huge modding community. I used to play this game a bunch as a kid would love to see it brought to modern systems.
Those games also need your vote!

Metal Gear Acid
Metal Gear AcidMetal Gear Acid is a turn-based collectable card game. It was the first game in the Metal Gear series for the PSP. A Java ME version for mobile phones was released by Glu Mobile in 2008 titled Metal Gear Acid Mobile. Acid focuses on turn-based tactics, using a trading card-based system to control the main character's movements and actions. Acid in the name stands for "Active Command Intelligence Duel". The cards are not truly collectable, as the game is complete with a single purchase. However, the game does feature deck design and deck optimization elements. The game allows for multiplayer gameplay by wireless ad-hoc connections of two PSPs. Before each round, the player can customize the deck of cards used by the main characters. Most cards are based on elements spanning the entire Metal Gear series, such as weaponry, characters, and even the Metal Gear itself. When the game is started, the player's hand can consist of a maximum of six cards. The maximum number of cards in a deck increases with overall progress. In action mode, the player can choose to use the cards as intended or use them to move the character. Most cards only allow the player to move three spaces, while certain cards let the player move up to six or higher. Cost is an important factor in gameplay and can be summed up as the weight of the player's action. With some exceptions, all cards have a cost attached to them and when used this cost transfers to the player. Cost varies radically from card to card. The higher the cost a character has, the longer that character must wait until their next turn. For example: if a player character has a cost of 15 and a guard has a cost of 10, then the guard's turn would occur before the character's. Some cards can be equipped; cards such as weapon cards, can have other cards attached to them in order to improve performance. In order to fire the weapon, another weapon card that uses the same kind of ammunition must be equipped. Some weapons don't need to be equipped and can be used by themselves, however, they are discarded afterwards. Other cards that can be equipped include equipment cards and action cards. Multiplayer, or "Link Battle", is also a new feature. Two PSP systems running Acid can link wirelessly, allowing players to face each other in a "sneak-off". The objective is to collect several diskettes before the rival player. Diskettes can be stolen by another player, so there is an emphasis on avoiding detection.
