This was the 1st 3d graphical Realtime Strategy/RPG I ever played and the one that hooked me on this whole genre. Still have the original 3 CD set with the instruction Manual that was purchased in 1999 and could be installed on either a Windows or Mac computer. I was just getting started in graphic design and at the time was only Mac based. The CD has both I & II and IMO was one of the best games that BUNGIE produced. It was rated Real-Time game of the year by PC Gamer, Computer Games Strategy Plus, and Computer Gaming World. Unfortunately, I am unable to play the game from the CDs on the current versions of Windows and you guys are so great at updating and getting these great old games to work on the new platforms.

One of the best games I ever played. World building, storytelling, the general style of the game hooked me up. Brutal history of a desperate conflict unfolding in scenarios where you are always at a disadvantage. Gameplay is fun as hell. Blasting a bunch of thralls with a bomb feels so good. I would love to play it again on a modern pc, and relive the dreadful adventure of Myth.

It was made by Bungie and it was a great game. Great storytelling and scenarios where you are always trying to make the best of a losing war. It was really fun and I hope this gets on GOG.

Farm Frenzy
Farm FrenzySlip into a pair of overalls and try your hand at running a farm! From tending to the fields where your cows graze to gathering eggs for sale at the town market, Farm Frenzy is as stimulating as the real thing-- only you won't have to experience the nasty smells! You will, however, be required to invest the money you earn in new equipment. Building a cheese dairy, for example, allows you to process your milk on the spot and make even more cash. To beat a level in Farm Frenzy, you must complete a specific task, such as producing a certain number of eggs. Each new level is more challenging than the last, so you must increase the capacity of your warehouse and improve the performance of your production facilities. You can even buy a larger truck capable of delivering more goods to market! All of this makes dealing with the occasional bear easier. Featuring compelling and enjoyable gameplay, Farm Frenzy lets you give Old MacDonald a run for the money.

It Came from the Desert
It Came from the DesertIt Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for. The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.
