This is the first game in the Shantae series, which has become a beloved series in the gaming world. Its a shame all future Shantae games are on GOG but the first entry is not available at all. This game has pretty visuals, a banging soundtrack, engaging characters, and a fun core game loop. Its time we preserved this game forevermore.

A memorable game that deserves to be available on the GOG store with the other games in the franchise. Despite being a game boy color game, it is well developed and has good world exploration mechanics and a very challenging difficulty.
The first game within the Shantae franchise. At the time of its release on Game Boy Color, it didn’t do much. Within time however, it gained a thriving fan following and thus additional sequels were made. One of the appealing things about the series is the title heroine is a half genie half human woman who is both likable and cute at the same time.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
