Story:Mega Man X and his trusty partner Zero have a new force to reckon with. Who or what has caused a riot of Mavericks to break out in the experimental utopia known as Doppler Town?
Named after the scientist reploid, Doppler Town was supposed to be a place where humans and reploids could live in harmony. After discovering a virus that was turning reploids to Mavericks, Doppler's anti-virus was a big success. But Doppler itself became infected with the virus and assembled a team to take out the Maverick Hunter Units. The Doppler Effect is about to unfold, with Mega Man X and Zero the only cure for the deadly virus!Show more

Admittedly, my biggest experience with this game was probably the PS2 version, which is similar but missing a few things from the PC port... but still, it features most of the changes, and I was honestly shocked by how much more fun I had with this version than on SNES! The movement feels amazing with arguably the best feeling wall jump in Mega Man X history, I love the sound effects... honestly, if a modern version of the PC port added the option to change to between the soundtracks at any time from the pause screen and fixed the load times, it'd easily be the definitive version of the game in my eyes.
Rather importantly, the old PC port of X3 is not to be confused with the version available in X Legacy Collection. That version is the SNES version, which has some notable differences. So... why bother with re-releasing the old, forgotten PC port of X3? Could always re-release the PS1 version or something after all. Well, to me, what's most special about it is the rebalanced difficulty curve it optionally adds.
Yes, that's right, the old PC version of X3 exclusively, not even the PS1 and PS2 version had this, actually optionally adds a new easy mode, which generally feels like a more fine-tuned experience than the original game. If you're the sort who found X3's early game rough or unfun on SNES and only really liked it once you got powerful later on, you're in luck! This may be the exact version for you, if GOG ever re-releases it.
I still have some hope to some day get to see the dream of the definitive official version of X3 like that... as a huge fan of Mega Man, it'd be a dream come true! Let's see if we can get this overlooked gem of a port the attention it deserves, y'all!

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
