I could talk about how much I love this game, and how special it is to me, for pages. I actually met the developers in Las Vegas's Cyber X Games in 2003 and learned a lot about its development and the Diversions relationship with Epic. This game came out just a few months before Steam and before digital distribution and easy patching became widespread. With a little compatibility-love, I know this game could reach the audience that it deserves! And a second chance to release the mod tools that were promised, once upon a time. That promise motivated and inspired me to learn 3D modeling. Through this game, I discovered a new passion for polygons and 3D artistic expression.

Despite having its issues, it was slightly ahead of its time with massive 3d battles. I remember some of the hardest matches have you play against practical horde of enemies. It's also a bit of a pain to make work on modern systems so having it on GoG with easy install would be fantastic.

This game was so awesome but like other reviewers have said it was just a little ahead of its time. It requires a fairly beefy graphics cards when it first came out, severely limiting the target audience. Additionally, patching it became difficult after the game had been released for some time. With a little love this would be one heck of a re-release. I loved OMF 2097 and I spent so much time following the development of this game on the official message board back in the relative early days of the internet. Of course I bought the game ASAP when it was released and it didn't disappoint! The game had so many cool things going for it! GOG adding this game would complete me.

One Must Fall: 2097 is a must have fighting game for PC and while battlegrounds is a far inferior game and will probably need some work to fix all the bugs I feel it would be wrong to not include Battlegrounds to complete the series.

I remember all the fun times with this game. It was a ahead of its time like other said. I remember they ran an art contest and I won a signed copy (which I still have to this day) of the game :)

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.

One Must Fall: 2097
One Must Fall: 2097Welcome to One Must Fall 2097. This game is an action-fighting game similar to Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat but it has a much more to offer. Once you're into the game, you choose your pilot. Each pilot has different strengths and weaknesses. You may want one that is faster, or that can take a punch or two, or one that just looks good. Each pilot needs a good vehicle, or a robot in this case. You fight other piloted robots. For victory, You gain money, for money, You can buy some upgrades and beat more robots. The economy part of this game is really simple :-), but gives new experience from a simple fighting game. In the background story of the robot-fighting games are multinational corporations. One such corporation, World Aeronautics and Robotics (WAR), runs the entire show. WAR was started as a research institute to provide human-assisted robots for space travel. Their first prototypes were activated in 2009 and were immediately put to use by a conglomeration of companies from Japanamerica to build the first ACTIVE space station. The HAR's were better than conventional robots in that they were completely operated by a single human whose brain controlled the robot's systems via remote. The "pilot" actually "became" the robot for all intents and purposes, but no danger to the pilot was possible. At the end of 21st century You have a chance to write history. You've waited for this night since you were a child. Fifteen years of training will be used tonight. The main prize is waiting...

Twisted Metal
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.
