Wow, I remember playing this game a long time ago! It's a first person platformer puzzle game from 1998. I recall having a blast with it. It was really difficult so I never managed to play it. I hope to see it here because the game is kinda difficult to get running on modern machines. Please GOG!

I've played the demo of it so much. Wasn't able to get the full version (not for the financial reasons) though and I really would love to play it legally.

I used to play this game all the time with my brother and my dad growing up. We were obsessed with the unique settings and style. One of the earlier and more ambitious takes on 3D platformers.

This was a surprisingly well done and fun platformer, it was first person and based off the old Montezuma's revenge video game from the 80s. I remember back then it was required to have a voodoo card so I can never get this game to run on future hardware. I would believe this is very much playable today and would be a great addition to good old games.

I got this game ages ago on a PC Gaming Magazine CD-ROM as the full version and i loved it! The dream-like level design, the mysterious music and fun but not too hard puzzles are what drew me in from the start. It's a fun 3D platformer that would look great even today thanks to its stylized graphics and almost liminal world. I would love to buy it on GOG and add it to my collection!
Absolutely magnificent game, endlessly entertaining, funny and clever, and rather unique in its first-person platforming. Very "gamey": there is no pretense of realism and logic; it's all about fun platforming puzzles in a highly atmospheric Aztec temple. The design and sounds of the enemies are hilarious. Ridiculously overlooked and underrated.

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.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Enslaved: Odyssey to the WestEnslaved: Odyssey to the West is an action-adventure platform video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Namco Bandai Games. It was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 5, October 7 and October 8, 2010 in North America, Australia, Japan and Europe respectively.[1][2] A premium version, featuring all DLC content, was made for Microsoft Windows and Sony Playstation 3 and was later released on October 25, 2013. The story is a re-imagining of the novel Journey to the West written by Wu Cheng'en. Unlike the original story that was set in a fantastical version of ancient China, the game is set 150 years in a future post-apocalyptic world following a global war, with only remnants of humanity left, along with the still active war machines left over from the conflict. Like the original story however, the plot revolves around someone who forces the help and protection of a warrior, with many characters sharing the same names and roles. The game's story was written by Alex Garland, with voice talent and motion capture from Andy Serkis and Lindsey Shaw.
