One of my favourite games ever. It’s a true classic. I remember I played it when I was in primary school. Bring back a lot of memories. It would be nice to play it again on GOG.

This game, developed by Blizzard and published by Interplay (who knew!?) has been one of my most beloved platforming games, right after Prince of Persia and Flashback. The sound (back then experienced on SoundBlaster AWE32), the smooth animations, the extremely cool moves, weapons and humor shown by the characters - this game is one I played and replayed over and over. A true hidden gem in my opinion, try it and I bet you'll love it, just like me :-)

OMG, the time i spent playing Blackthrone... Just after watching the intro i was hooked. It sort of reminded me of games like Another World or Flashback but it just had its own unique style and climate that made all the difference.
Those games also need your vote!
