This game was on demo disks both as a demo and as a trailer and the 10 year old me searching for new fantasy adventure games found this gem and was hooked forever. Spent many months playing this with my brother as we quested and replayed the main story over and over. To have this preserved with 4 player online support would be amazing as many of my friends ask us about this game as we won't stop talking about it still to this day. Gameplay is still fun though a bit dated but it's the memories you make with your friends as you get instant killed by a fire beetle or a bear mauls you over and over again and your friends need to bail you out of a tight jam. Please bring back one of the most underrated gems from the PS2 library and let the new generation experience everquest again.

Loved the sequel for this game, never got the chance to play this one, and nowadays it's hard to find a working PS2 copy where I live. Bringing this game to PC would allow easy access to me and many others.

dark alliance was fun but that one was even better we need it to come back such a classic. it just a better diablo but on console wish i could still play it . and you can play with 3 friend was realy a blast
I remember playing this when I was in my early teens long after the game's release. Frustrating at first, but then really enjoyable later when you get a bit more patient and start to learn more about enemies, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 were very good, but Champions and its sequel were, at least to me, just amazing in comparison. Really dated in some of its mechanics, but still enjoyable. Would really love being able to actually buy this one.
I played this game since childhood and every time I bought it I could only play halfway because it had too much space for just one CD and I was never able to download it correctly from the internet and I would love to play the sequel again

This is and has always been one of my favorite fantasy games. I've tried to emulate it over the years but it never works quite right. I own both Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms. I even got a second pre-owned version just so I'd be able to keep a playable copy around. Out of every game I've ever seen remastered or remade this is the one I've always hoped for the most. I'd love to be able to play this game again.

This PS2 title is the game that got me into gaming as a kid, besides N64 titles that I'd casually play. Champions is what developed my love for similar games such as Diablo, Path of Exiles, Grim Dawn and Baldur's Gate. Having Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms future proofed and playable on PC as an adult would be amazing.

Always played this with my childhood friend as a kid. Amazing game, especially the follow-up. After playing this one, we'd always wait for any news from Snowblind Studios. All games they developed with their inhouse engine were fun, alas only a few games were made. Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I and II, Champions of Norrath and CoN Return to Arms and a fifth unaffiliated game that went by rather unnoticed. After that the studio was acquired and their gates shut. Pity for it.
Dieses Spiel hat einfach eine Portierung auf PC verdient. Mehr braucht man dazu eigentlich nicht schreiben. War einer meiner meist gespielten A-RPGs auf der PS2

This game was my go to for many years, even entering into the ps5 era I return to my ps2 to play this. I even managed to get my wife to play this alongside me. Still have my original Fat Aqua ps2 and both Champions games. Definitely would purchase this again and again if ported to pc and/or remastered with updated graphics.

King's Field: Pilot Style
King's Field: Pilot StyleThe three King's Field PS1 games form a trilogy relating the saga of a mythical country named Verdite. King's Field 1 (released only in Japan) was the first RPG for the Playstation console and King's Field 2 (released as "King's Field" in the US and EU) was the first ever Playstation RPG in the US and Europe. King's Field: Pilot Style is a mini game whose story takes place in the period between King's Field 2 and King's Field 3. Pilot Style was given away as a promotional item at a game show in Japan and went relatively unnoticed. It only takes about an hour to complete, but it is an interesting tidbit in the King's Field world.

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: OriginsDragon Age: Origins is a third-person role-playing game described as a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights franchises. Players create their own character by customizing gender and appearance as well as choosing a race and class. Combat is in real time with the ability to pause at any moment: tactical options include an editor which allows the player to give the AI detailed instructions on how to behave in every possible situation. Although the main storyline is the same for every character created, the game features six unique prologues, two for each race. Dragon Age: Origins received critical acclaim upon release, with praise mostly directed at its story, setting, characters, music and combat system.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the FutureAt the dawn of the 30th Century, dolphins and humans had been together in a cross-species society for 500 years. Together, they had set out to explore space, offering peace and friendship to all who would welcome it. But space had its dangers; a violent species known as the Foe decided to conquer Earth. However, the dolphins and humans drove them to the brink of defeat, and so the Foe sought vengeance on Earth. The few caretaker dolphins who had been left behind on Earth were not entirely defenseless; they were protected by their creation called the Guardian—a gigantic, sentient being made of a crystalline substance which projected a forcefield over the entire planet. Undeterred, the Foe made suicide attacks on the field, searching for a weak point.

Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of the Time
Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of the TimeGrowlanser IV: Wayfarer of Time is a mix between a real-time and turn-based strategy RPG that was released on the PlayStation 2 in Japan on December 18, 2003. The title was the fourth entry in the Growlanser series and was the last entry to use 2D sprites before transitioning to 3D with the next installment. An enhanced port for the PlayStation Portable was released in Japan on August 18, 2011 under the title Growlanser IV: Over Reloaded, which featured a new animated opening as well as several new story paths, characters and other gameplay improvements. Atlus USA localized the PSP port as Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time and released it in North America on July 31, 2012. Never before released outside of Japan and widely considered the best entry in the long-running franchise, this PSP system iteration of the fourth chapter in the Growlanser saga delivers visuals remastered for PSP system's 16:9 widescreen, a vastly expanded script with tons of new characters to meet and quests to complete, a wealth of new ending possibilities, and much more, making it the first and only version of the game North American fans will ever want!

Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy IIFinal Fantasy II is the second installment in the Final Fantasy series, developed and published by Squaresoft. It was directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, with Yoshitaka Amano designing the characters and Nobuo Uematsu composing the score. It was notable for being one of the first story-intensive RPGs released for console systems, and introducing many series staples, including chocobos and a character named Cid. Its story is unrelated to the original FINAL FANTASY, and its gameplay is a major departure from the previous title for eliminating the traditional experience-based progression system.
