It's one of the first games by Lucas Pope (Papers Please, Obra Dinn). But if that's not enough... Far more accessible than you'd expect a car mechanic game to be, its simplicity paves the way to a world of joyously tactile puzzles, each faulty vehicle a small mystery to be solved through disassembly, examination, targeted repair (or replacement), and reconstruction. You don't drive the cars, just fix them. And for all the qualities of the more recent Car Mechanic Simulator series, those can be a little overly involved. Maybe a simple fix-em-up is all you want; hopefully you can find out with GOG's help.

I had no idea that Lucas Pope was behind Gearhead Garage. I guess this explains some things. I played the demo version back in the day and I loved it. I'd love to play the full version through official means.

This game is bonkers in all the right ways. Just something included on a 4 cd set sold in stores (apparently, as it was given to me as a teen), but one of the most fun and wacky games I played. Tune up and repair beat up cars to drive again, or to fly off into space to battle the Deathstar. It's simple compared to modern fix-em-ups, but definitely is something I'd love to own on GoG, legally.

MechWarrior
MechWarriorIn 3017, when Herras Ragen was 12, his father Colonel Joseph T. Ragen, a soldier in the House Davion army, was working to infiltrate and destroy a renegade mercenary cartel called the Dark Wing Lance. However, he was discovered, and the Dark Wing took their revenge: somehow, they had learned the location of the Ragen family's residence. Under cover of night they attacked, killing everyone. Only young Herras, who was at a friend's house at the time of the massacre, survived. Unbeknownst to him, the Dark Wing made an agreement that after the strike, they would separate for ten years and maintain an absolute code of secrecy before regrouping again to continue their nefarious operations. Now, in 3027, that time is up. Herras, who has become a young man, has waited the last decade for his chance to take revenge. As a mercenary MechWarrior operating from the planet Galatea, with a light 'Mech in the hangar and 50.000 C-Bills in the bank, he will accept any mission that will lead him closer to finding the murderers of his family.

Need for Speed: Payback
Need for Speed: Payback"This explosive adventure is filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces. It’s blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series, fueled by a gripping story of betrayal and revenge. With Need for Speed: Payback, it’s no longer just about being the first to cross the finish line or racing to prove to be the best, it’s about building the perfect ride, getting behind the wheel and playing out an action driving fantasy. Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops. They will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground. Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can truly craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all."
