This DOES have a PC version! SEGA are notorious for having one-off PC versions of their historic catalogue even if those versions aren't exactly great representations of the game or franchise. I would hope GOG reaches out to these publishers to look into preserving them for modern platforms!
A great Gamecube game and what I personally think might be one of Sega's best... it got an official PC release too. This platformer has charming visuals, a lovely soundtrack, a really unique gameplay type, and elements that cater a bit to both score attack and "collect-a-thon" fans while staying its own. It's even got some of that 2000s-era Sega/Sonic Team togetherness, with cameos from Sonic, Nights, and even Phantasy Star Online.
An absolute time capsule of Sega's legacy + a genuinely fun experience all the way through. Yet it seemingly hasn't been re-released anywhere since the PC port was made in 2006!
One of my favorite GameCube games growing up, but it’s sadly never been rereleased to modern consoles or PC store fronts like Steam. I would love it if I could experience it again!
This game needs to get more easily accessible. The PC version is Europe exclusive and you will be SHELLing out over $150 for a physical copy for the Gamecube. Billy Hatcher needs more love and would love to see this on GoG.
Rose tinted glasses on this one - but this was the game I bought myself (Gamecube) to celebrate passing my driving test that day!
I was a big fan of Sega/Sonic Team games back in the day - and this was Peak Sega 2003. It straddled the line between old school simplistic gameplay with high res visuals (for the time) and additional systems to add variety. While it did feel a little like a hodge podge of "lets throw this in and see if it works" - I loved every minute!
I - ahem - /tried/ the PC version back in the day and remember it being limited to digital controls but otherwise being quite faithful. I'd love to see GOG work their magic on this one!
p.s. - a quick edit to say...
Good Morning!
This was one of the weird obscure games me and my big brother played before it was time to get to the school bus. The multiplayer experience was amazing, but the story was just as fun and phenomenal. The way they inquire the egg as the main selling point is really unique. You couldn't do anything without accessing an egg. I would LOVE to buy this game and add it to my modern game library. Sega should definitely have more games like this nowadays. Just have fun making and publishing weird games again, because games like this kept me and my brother out of whatever major trouble there was.
Genuinely one of my favourite games of all time!
I could go on forever and ever about how much potential the IP has, the years I've spent gushing over it to anybody who will listen. One of my favouritest memories is the day I wore my cosplay of him to Con, and all day heard nothing but love for this game from other fans who recognised him :D
As a kid, I wasn't even particularly good at the game initially. But kid-me was more than happy to plug in a 2nd controller and run around in the multiplayer level for hours, just playing with the eggs and level mechanics. (It was a great day for childhood-me when I finally beat the 1st boss and was delighted to discover there were more levels).
This game holds so much fun and visual charm of 00s Sega, and I think definitely could garner new fans if made 100% more accessible on modern PCs. Sega has been working to reboot or preserve other titles, (reboots/remakes of the likes of Crazy Taxi, as well as G-MODE preserving older ATLUS mobile games), I think preserving this one as well would be a great step for them :D
I've played the heck out of this game on GameCube and later on found out it was on Windows. Hopefully GOG can preserve the PC version and fix it up a bit. The gameplay is you the player rolling eggs around and using it for platforming. You can also defeat enemies with it as well. It's a very charming game by Sega that feels like it should've gotten a sequel but never really did.
