The basic premise is that this is an American-made Ecchi Visual Novel about a school for those with disabilities. The Main Character, who you play as, has a heart condition,specifically 'cardiac arrhythmia and congenital heart muscle deficiency,' and qualifies him for the school. The game takes place over a full year, and you're given the chance woo one of 5 girls with various disabilities. If that description sounds like the should be a disgusting mess of a representation about the disabled... You'd actually be wrong. This game has a very strange history which honestly makes it even more surprising in some ways that it's not exploitative. The game was brainstormed on the infamous message board / forum 4-Chan, at first as a concept and various character designs to my understanding. But then the game designers and artists and everyone else who gathered together (I'm quoting from memory after a brief wiki glance for the heart info,) sat down and made a relatively serious game that doesn't gloss over any of the issues involved. As an added bonus, the creators of the included the ability to turn off the more adult (as in sexual,) content, so that would make it easier to adapt to GOG. I definitely reccomend this game.

One of my top favorite free games ever! Not quite as worried about this game since it is already widely available in many ways, but still a great idea to preserve this game for the future and hopefully still for free. The games concept seems really weird, but it is actually an excellent visual novel with great characters and story with so much heart to it. Even if this does not get picked, I highly recommend downloading and playing this game and keeping it safe.

Armored Core: Nine Breaker
Armored Core: Nine BreakerArmored Core: Nine Breaker brings back the super strong "Nine Ball" mech who appeared in the original PlayStation Armored Core. Those who can defeat "Nine Ball" (which likely means you if you see the end credits of Nine Breaker) are labeled as the true most powerful mech around, the "Nine Breaker." In Armored Core: Nine Breaker, players play through two main modes of play: training mode and arena mode. Training mode features 150 programs that test players' skills. Players can try out programs that focus on attack, defense, movement, "technic," "special" and "overall." Each of these areas are further divided, with attack comprised of multiple tests in accuracy, power, judgment, "hit - single" and "hit - melee." Arena mode is a battle mode in which players take on other mechs in battle. Mech modification, the series' bread and butter, is of course featured heavily in Nine Breaker.

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Secret Weapons of the LuftwaffeAfter the success of the simulation titles Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain® and Battlehawks 1942 in the late 80s, LucasArts decided to follow up those games with another World War II simulation title: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Released in August 1991, the game followed the campaign by the US 8th Air Force to cripple the German Luftwaffe during the final years of World War II. Players could fly in either American or German warplanes. The game was remarkable because many of the playable airplanes were still under development during the war. In other words, the planes were never used extensively in battle, so players could explore “what if ” possibilities with the game. Those possibilities were further expanded by four Tour of Duty expansion packs. The planes in those expansions included the P-38 Lighting, a twin-engine escort fighter and the German Do335, an interceptor aircraft that featured a conventional tractor propeller in the nose as well as a pusher propeller behind the tail of the aircraft.
