Sim Theme Park and SimCoaster must be released as a GOG Enhanced Edition double bundle! These are two early examples of 3D Theme Park & Management Simulation gaming - and two of the best examples within this (still incredibly popular) genre of gaming! Bullfrog! GOG! EA! Whoever needs to hear this - please let GOG take control of these two lost classics! I'm sure we'd all love to replay these incredible early park simulators - and you can even walk around your parks and RIDE THE RIDES! Brilliant!

This is just an insta buy for me. I grew up playing this game and I've always kept a fond memory of it being one of the first pc games I ever played. I recently purchased a copy from ebay because it's lost to time
This was one of the first PC games I ever played. I distinctly remember one time I stayed home sick from school but I still felt well enough to play this. I started playing and the next thing I remember my dad was coming through the door bec he was getting back from work. 8+ hours had passed and it only felt like a few minutes. Such a great game and I would love to be able to get an updated version of the game that I can buy digitally to run on my current PC.

Immediate classic for me growing up. I cannot express how simple yet engaging this game is with its theme park design and early steps into online gameplay via shared parks. I'd imagine they'd have trouble implementing the online features but I would just be happy just to play through the singleplayer theme park just for the nostalgia. I really miss this game.

This game is one of my cherished childhood games. Its so fun to see the guests running around and build custom rides...and then RIDE them! My main reason wanting this as a GOG Dreamlist title is the game is PLAGUED with compatibility issues on everything past Windows XP. Getting it installed on modern systems is a complete hassle and may not even work if all steps are applied!! Please give this game the modern treatment it deserves!
This game defined my childhood. It instilled a love for deep, technical, and inspiring gaming experiences that I carry with me to this day. It's a rite of passage for every new computer I get that I try (and usually fail) to get this game running - it would be an absolute delight to see it properly preserved on GOG.

I remember getting this for Christmas with the "Gold Edition" bundled in back in the day, it was a "blind buy" by my grandmother, she just thought it looked fun. I couldn't thank her enough; I sank so much time into this game, and even when I wasn't turning a profit, it was still fun just to see the atrocious tracks I could build- and ride! In first person!- and subject the guests to. Every day after school, I'd jump back in and see just how much crazier I could make my parks. I lost count of how many different versions of the first three parks I made, how many jumbled roller coasters and flume rides. Getting all the Golden Tickets was tough, and I never did unlock the final park. I've honestly been checking GoG on and off for years now on the off chance this might show up, given that its predecessor Theme Park is already accounted for. To think it might finally be within reach is almost more than I dared hope. Maybe, just maybe, I can finally unlock the Space park and finish what I started twenty four years ago.

I played this game on PlayStation 1. A good, enjoyable game. I really liked riding the attractions that I built myself. Plus, you could walk around the park and explore your territory. I hope this Sim Theme Park (2000) on PC is just as good as it was on PlayStation

Played this on PS1, and damn was addicted to it. Played everyday before going to school, I was 10. I loved this game and so want to play it again legitimately. Sure, there are emulators or even the abandonware PC release, but the PC port just has something off and the game doesn't really play well with emulators. If this gets released on GOG, I'll buy it instantly!

Please bring this to GOG, its criminally under-known. I first got this game at a scholastic book fair at one point in time, and its probably the game I played most as a child. I know there are two different language versions so if you could bring both that would be amazing. I know I have been able to get this running on modern systems, but an official gog release would be amazing and much simpler, allowing more people to play a classic from a company that is sorely missed. RIP Bullfrog

MechCommander was released in 1998. It had an expansion which was later combined with the original title and released as MechCommander Gold. A sequel also exists (distributed by Microsoft)—MechCommander 2. MicroProse also used many of the ideas in their 2000 Starship Troopers game.

The Outfit
The OutfitThe Outfit is a World War II game that, unlike many other games in the genre, focuses almost entirely on destruction. While you will usually need to take a tactical approach to gameplay when on foot, you will earn points called "Field Units" that can be used to buy equipment like tanks and gun turrets to destroy Axis soldiers. You can simply buy equipment by using the Y button on your controller in conjunction with the left thumbstick button to select an item to buy. As such, the game developers call The Outfit "destruction on demand". The equipment you buy with Field Units will initially be occupied by AI-controlled soldiers, but you can replace whoever is using the equipment so that you can have some fun blowing stuff up. Sporting a fully destructible environment, almost everything in The Outfit can be blown up. You can play as one of three characters. Tommy Mac can take lots of damage before dying, and comes equipped with a flamethrower and machine gun, but equipment will cost him more Field Units than other characters. Deuce Williams comes equipped with a rocket launcher and pistol, and doesn't need as much Field Units to buy stuff as Tommy does, but he isn't nearly as strong as Tommy. JD Tyler is the most accurate of the three, sporting a sniper rifle and shotgun, but unfortunately he will die with one shot, so he must take an extremely tactical approach to gameplay.

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.

Dune
DuneDune is a 1992 video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Developed by Cryo Interactive, is the first of the Dune computer games. Dune blended adventure with economic and military strategy, and is considered by many the most immersive Dune computer game. Loosely following the story of the novel, the game casts the player as Paul Atreides, with the ultimate goal of driving the Harkonnen from Planet Dune, while managing spice extraction, military, and later, ecology through the native Fremen tribes. As the player progresses, his troops are equipped with weapons from "crysknives" to atomics, tap into Paul's latent psychic powers, and get acquainted with such characters from the book as Chani and Liet-Kynes.
