Wargames is one of those hidden gems from the late 90's. I think. I have never played the full game. I've only played a demo if it and I remember having a blast. Please add it here GOG!

I remember renting this game at the video store as a kid in the late 90's. Man it was so much fun! The two campaigns showing human perspective and alien invader perspective. I remember getting my best friend, my cousin or the rare occasion you could convince your dad to play the multiplayer side of it. It was instantly one of my favorite multiplayer game for the PS1. All around great times this game provided back in the day but I only got to play when I rented it. So GOG lets get it rolling....lol. Thx.
The game works in PCem on Windows 98. It does not crash, on opening map or unit info menus, like it sometimes does on Windows XP emulation. I would like to see this game on GoG in some sort of stable state or emulator if this is technically possible, as the emulator required is more advanced than DOSBox and requires a Windows 98 or 98 SE ISO file which is subject to copyright.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Frankie Goes to HollywoodPlaying a thoroughly drab, mundane and predictable character, your aim is to become interesting enough to reach the Pleasuredome. After discovering a gruesome murder, your interest in something greater than the routine of 80s Liverpool is awoken. You explore the streets and houses in the search of a way out. The main basis of the game involves picking up objects and using them in the correct way - most objects have more than one potential use, and misusing them is the only way the game can be lost. There are several sub-games along the way, including shoot 'em ups, a maze and a jigsaw puzzle.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
