Story:Parasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Show more

Great sequel to PE1. Nice weapons, very cool PE powers, and the music is fantastic not to mention the remixes of some of the original music. And the ending left me wanting to know what happens next
When I was a kid, my father went searching for a game labeled "for adults only"—something he could enjoy for himself. He came home with a copy of Parasite Eve 2. Obviously, he never actually played it… but I did. And sometimes, I even played it with him. This game became my all-time favorite. The combat system, the lore, the characters, the music—everything about it captivated me. I need Parasite Eve 2 on GOG. And I need GOG on PlayStation.
I only played this game recently on original hardware and i was blown away by the atmosphere that the soundtrack, the setting and the locations create. Very 90s, comparable to RE2 and 3, but still a totally different beast. Weird and unsettling at times and the combat system is kind of a hybrid of Resident Evil and Final Fantasy, which is an interesting approach, that I haven't seen anywhere else. Both games of this series are hard to come by these days and definitely need to be preserved in my opinion.

These games are a crazy tale and deserve another shot at holding a crowd and maybe even obtaining a new crowd. I believe these will get the the love they deserve if a rerelease is possible.
PE II really shines as a horror jewel that is totally replayable endless times as it brings three key features remarkable plot, puzzles and a combat likely to RE3 which i focused into horror and survivability within exellent BGM into every battle . U´ll get familiar with No9 Golem "This is literally ur nemesis in the whole game"

What made this game unforgettable? - combat, characters, replay-ability (you need to finish this game around 12 times to get good stuff) Why do you want this game on GOG? - so I dont have to run PS1 emulators and keep on loosing my save files any time I upgrade hardware or reinstall Windows and forget to transfer saves. Cloud saves is what we need.

For me this is a really unique and well designed survival horror RPG that, alongside the original Parasite Eve really hold up as PS1 classics and there aren't many other games like them. I remember borrowing both games off a friend as a kid but the disc for PE2 was scratched to hell and would freeze every time it loaded into Dryfield, so I would just replay the Akropolis section over and over again. Replaying it years later I fell in love with the combat system, learning how to score critical hits with the Luger and the M4 bayonet, replaying the NG+ modes to get all the cool unlocks, and even trying my hand at speedrunning! Seeing Dino Crisis 1 and 2 remastered on GOG gives me hope that these absolute banger games from the PS1 can be given new life and introduced to a whole new generation.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Wizardry I & II
Wizardry I & IIWizardry I & II contains the first two installments of the Wizardry series: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and Knight of Diamond. Both games were ported to the PC Engine (TurboGrafx) CD console with various enhancements, unreleased separately. In fact, the two games are merged into one, as the player is able to play through both of them continuously directly from the main menu. Though the game(s) are rather faithful in gameplay and graphical design to the original computer versions, the enhancements are significant enough to consider this release a remake. Similarly to the NES / Famicom version, the dungeons have simple graphics, unlike the computer originals with their vector lines. Enemy sprites are also more detailed and occupy a larger portion of the screen. A pre-made party of six is available to the player right at the beginning, consisting of characters with generic names ("Fighter", "Samurai", etc.); creating own characters (unlike in the modified PC Engine CD version of Might and Magic), however, remains possible. Dungeon navigation is accompanied by orchestrated CD audio music in this version. The battle music is in PSG format.
