Nice! The more the merrier.

Gunboat was one of the first games I played for PC many, many years ago. I loved the game but couldn't do much with it, because I was playing a pirated copy and had no manual.

I think it still remains a unique game. Specially because I don't remember another game simulating a patrol river boat.
Since it's been more 30 years since I last played it I don't know wether I have "nostalgia glasses" when I talk about it. But I suspect that - if one can bypass the old 3D graphics - it's still highly playable today.
I remember playing it and thinking that this what Charlie Sheen must have felt, when he was sailing upstream searching for colonel Kurtz.

I honestly wish more games nowadays risked going for unusual settings and mechanics like this one.

The train? Here? I played the sh!t out of it on my C -64 and was even able to beat it one or two times!
Nice, looks like it IS indeed the C-64 version!

I wish GOG would prioritize getting these kinds of games first like they used to. These have all been on Steam for over a year, and as some have pointed out, a few titles have been on Steam way longer than this but still haven't made it over here. You used to be the go-to source for classic PC titles, GOG!

It's not the C64 version, it's the old IBM PC version with PC speaker sounds. Very playable, but the C64 version had considerably better audio.

Saw thumbnail and though Severance - Blade of Darkness is back..
Mission failed, we get 'em next time.

thankfully, that is over

With The Train: Escape to Normandy it is just a matter of time until the legendary game Transarctica is also being released. Just a matter of time until a publisher notices that people are missing that particular game

Both games are resembling each other so close that they're practically similar.

YES!
I love this one. Got it day 1 on the now extinct DotEmu store.
