I know some could argue how this isn't technically a game. The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield still one of the finest video game adaptation of the show. Just may wanna lower your expectations down a bit. It's not a terrible Simpsons game by any means. But considering they played off the VR joke of the 90s. I felt this game truly delivered on that. You get to explore the town of Springfield. Many voice actors reprises their roles from the show. I don't know why a lot of best Simpsons games list not have this Simpsons game? There's a few mini games hidden around the town. It's almost as if you're in an episode of the show. Keep in mind, this predated The Simpsons: Road Rage by a few years. I felt with VR being huge in the gaming world today. This actually could sell well on GOG. Just make sure to include doesn't actually require an VR headset. Virtual Springfield was a rather unexpected licensed game of it's era. The closest thing to this was Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity. A lot of Simpsons fans missed out on this Simpsons game. The world isn't ready to see one of the most eye opening 90s licensed games go into extinction. It was mind blowing how much this Simpsons game pulled off. You even go inside a few famous locations of the show. Most people knows about the famous Doom parody mini game. Virtual Springfield I strongly felt needs to return in the near future.
It is genuinely the finest Simpsons game ever made. As a game, it certainly isn't challenging, but what it has in spades is a sense of relaxation and fun - and the sense of being a true love letter to the show. The amount of funny in-jokes, secrets and references just made me smile when I would play it back in the day. I'd love people to be able to experience this hidden gem, especially as Simpsons games are kind of a thing of the past now. It's a great snapshot of a wonderful era when the show was the best thing going.

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

King's Quest 3: To Heir is Human (VGA Remake)
King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones (2002)King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones is a remake of King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne, and a follow-up to AGD Interactive's (formerly Tierra Entertainment) earlier remake of the first game. Like its predecessor, it has VGA graphics reminiscent of Sierra's adventure games of the early 1990's, and a new musical score. The remake retains the general outlines of the original story and the gameplay system, but contains additional locations, expanded dialogue, and new characters. Some of these characters are original, while others are taken from various installments of the series to present a more cohesive view of its overarching story.
In 2009 AGD Interactive released King's Quest II VGA 3.0, which can be considered a remake of their original 2002 remake. It contains the following enhancements:
Newly enhanced game visuals featuring hand-painted game backgrounds and character dialog portraits
Full narrator speech and lip-syncing for all characters
Windows Vista support
Native Ogg Theora movies, which means in-game cutscenes and movies will now play in Linux and PC emulations under Macs
Full digital speech and music tracks are now included as part of the download rather than being separate downloads.
