Playing GTA San Andreas was pure freedom. I’d ride bikes through Grove Street, climb Mount Chiliad, and skydive over the countryside. The gang wars, jetpacks, and customizing CJ made every moment unique. Cruising to Today Was a Good Day while causing chaos? Truly iconic gaming memories!
Take care to include the missing music files and the version to NOT be the censored one! Rockstar retroactively butchered the game, affecting even the legit customers who purchased it normally, back in the day!

Rockstar doesn't give a damm about PC, never has, never will. They also don't care about game preservation, i mean, when they announced the remasters of the GTA Trilogy, they decided to delist the originals because... i don't know, maybe we are to dumb to understand the reasons, or maybe, like i said, they don't care about preserving their games and their legacy (which has always been bad on PC). So, don't get your hopes up that this and other Rockstar Games will make it to GOG, but hey, maybe i'm wrong... i hope i am.

It took me a couple of attempts to finish this game because there was so much to do. I often went to my friend’s house to play, since my PC was too slow. Once we discovered cheat codes, we couldn’t stop waging endless battles against the police. I came back a few years later to finally finish the main plot. ;)

This is my favourite GTA. It was a fun romp, reliving the badass 1980's - which IMHO was the best decade by far. And the music ... oh the music! That was really the major part - one that stuck with me the most up until this day. When I got tired of shooting (which was good fun - don't get me wrong), I would just drive around the city for hours, listening to the radio stations... Not only to the top-notch selection of music, but also to talk-shows. Those were really hilarious.

This would be the one GTA game I wanna save. I already left the franchise for many reasons. But I always deeply respected Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I been to Florida for a few vacations since then. In my opinion this was the absolute best GTA game. Nearly every character is well written. Also given great voice actors that does their respective characters justice. The absolute best overall soundtrack in the franchise. I simply loved the entire map design as a whole. There's a lot of weapons to keep you busy rampaging for hours. I also loved you can own businesses. Some truly amazing rewards for doing the extra stuff. The campaign alone is so damn good!!! This felt like a great movie you just wanna keep watching the cut scenes. There's plenty of surprises hidden around the map. Considering this was originally planned to an expansion pack to GTA III. This turned out absolutely amazing!!! I even felt many areas it's superior to GTA III. I even felt this one has something everyone could possibly love. It's mind blowing such a game actually exists. Sure I was heavily disappointed by the newer version. Honestly a lot more people rather own the original version on GOG. Also considering GTA is among the best selling game franchises to date. Even outside of sales, this is going to sell like no tomorrow.

I remember Xplay on TechTV/G4 gave the PS2 version of this game a 4 out of 5. People were up in arms about it. I also remember looking at the Xplay forum and can confirm that it was a trash community at the time, so I paid it no heed, accepted that the game was flawed and played on.

This was the first game I bought, I was around 10 maybe 11 (just joking I was obviously 18, totally legal xd). When I see only the cover of the game I feel that VIP PREMIUM VIBE from back then. I was having so much coolness from the game it lasted for years lol and actually I gonna download it again right now fellas at 30 :V be well.
A game I never really played but watched my cousins went through it. It was a vibe I was different from GTA San Andreas (another diamond of that era of everything on a single disc), all so colourful and neon no matter where you went. It was a fun game to watch, but I think getting a chance to play the OG version of the game would be an amazing to be able to do on my downtime.
Those games also need your vote!
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Mirror's Edge CatalystMirror's Edge Catalyst is an action-adventure game and the prequel to Mirror's Edge. The story in the game explores the past of the protagonist Faith. Like in the previous game, the main gameplay in Mirror's Edge Catalyst involves traversing the city using parkour to reach certain objectives. Unlike the linear levels in Mirror's Edge, Mirror's Edge Catalyst features an open-world free-roaming environment. Combat has been overhauled and emphasized compared to the first game and Catalyst no longer allows the player to use weapons, instead focusing on melee attacks.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.
