Played hunter hunted while being a teenager, don't know why but I ever finish it, and still after all this year's I feel like being hunted by hunter hunted, please bring it back, I need to save myself from this
Oh boy! this one takes me back.. Innovative and fun challenging levels, plus the option for splitscreen coop or deathmatch. All this backed up by an old reliable developer that made alot of quality games back then. This is really a Good old Game in every sense

Damn I remember playing this game as a kid! I wasn't good at the game lol, but it were really exciting and scary back then. I've been looking for this game for over 20 years without luck, until now.

I remember playing with my friends together using one keyboard, not sure if it's true though :D But I definitely played it A LOT. My first "serious" platformer I would say. Tons of weapons, sweaty gameplay, "sandboxy" levels where you need to plan your actions accordingly.
Hunter Hunted introduced a 3-dimensional aspect to platformers because your character could enter rooms in the rear wall of the screen and come back out of them. This was unique at the time and deserves GOG preservation for this aspect. It was also quite fun playing head -to-head against a friend.

True Crime: Streets of LA
True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.
