I was quite sad when The Suffering series gotten delisted. I partly felt they might get remastered. Which kinda would make sense for the delisting. These were essentially Silent Hill games set in Maryland. The Suffering was a horror game people still remembers from it's era. I actually had this game on PS2 a long time ago. This truly deserved to stay on GOG. There's a few endings you can go for. Some impressive creature designs as well. It was mind blowing the stuff they allowed in this. Maybe also due to the fact Midway Games was on the verge going under. Somehow The Suffering turned out as great it was.

The Suffering - an AWESOME Game with a capital letter! One of my favorite survival/horror games of all time! It comes with the original story (I do not know a single other game with such a cool plot); a lot of guns and munitions that not only work differently but also feel completely different and that is a cool feature; sound design is also - a strong part of the game (of course when it work; sometimes it bug out because of a lack of optimizations for modern OSs); enemies are different and scary most of the time. All I mentioned before is pure "fun" and when I say "fun" (in this case) I mean pure EVIL in its way. Absolutely gorgeous game, but because of its age, The Suffering is not great for modern Hardware and Software (OSs). That is why a Remake/Remaster - is much needed nowadays, so gamers can play their favorite Horror game on modern PCs.

Grade A game from a Grade A publisher that was dying. Could you bring it back as soon as possible? As the name of the game suggests I am suffering here and I need to play this again soon!

I have played this game when I was kid, but unfortunately I couldn't complete it back then because of how scary it was. It is a pity it's not available nowadays. Plays a lot on nostalgic feeling to me.

Seeing this and its sequel get de-listed from the store last year was heartbreaking. Sure, I bought my copies, but what about the people who are just now discovering this franchise and the brutal third-person action horror it offered? Fingers crossed that Warner figures out there's still a market for this game, and brings it back, either in its original form or a remastered version.

This is one of the first OG games that I actually went out and spent a lot of time trying to find a physical copy. I found the physical copy but I don’t want to use it so please save this game.
Those games also need your vote!

Soviet Strike
Soviet StrikeIn 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".

Nuclear Strike
Nuclear StrikeNuclear Strike is a shooter video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1997. The game is the sequel to Soviet Strike and the fifth instalment in the Strike series, which began with Desert Strike on the Sega Genesis. The Soviet Strike development team also created Nuclear Strike. EA released a PC port the same year; THQ developed and in 1999 published a Nintendo 64 version called Nuclear Strike 64. Nuclear Strike is a helicopter-based game, with strategy elements added to the action gameplay. The plot concerns an elite special force - the player's allies - pursuing a nuclear-armed rogue spy through a fictionalised Asian setting. It retained the earlier game's engine but added several modifications to improve graphical performance and make the game more accessible. The game features 15 playable vehicles, a large increase from previous games. In addition to the main fictionalised Apache, there are secondary helicopters, jets, armour and a hovercraft. The player also commands ground troops in occasional real-time strategy sections. The game received positive, negative and mixed reviews. Critics noted a weak storyline, though GameSpot dismissed this is as unimportant in an action game. GameSpot called the graphics - which made use of specialised hardware such as 3Dfx Voodoo video cards and the N64 Expansion Pak - "about as good as it gets", while Allgame said they are "decent" and Daily Radar called them "horrible". Critics praised the full motion video as well as the music and sound effects. Reviewers enjoyed the straightforward gameplay but several complained of a close similarity to its predecessor Soviet Strike and questioned the game's value as a result.
