A very fun fighting game that has not been officially released on modern consoles or PC that would benefit the community that still enjoys playing today and introduce more players.
a very quirky, fast paced 3d fighter created in a heavily modified fighting vipers game and virtua fighter engine, that has an unique style that still to this day looks great, a little but great competitive community that still manages to show how this game can actually be mad fun, i used to play it on sonic gems collection for gamecube, and now still playing it on my xbox 360 with tons of features that included playable honey the cat for arcade mode, and playable metal sonic and eggman in versus mode my reason to wish this game being on GOG apart of the commodities of pc, is to preserve what i consider one of the must underrated sonic game ever, and one of my favourite sonic games of all time

Even if I'm not fond of the fighting genre, it was fun playing with Sonic and the other characters. Bark was my main GOAT with his reach and grabs. Wish the remastered version with Honey the Cat was available on all platforms instead of byuing a Like a Dragon spinoff just for that.

Me and my family played this game for hours in gatherings and parties, it's a really fun fighting game and the cartoonish effects made it funny and quite charming. Even today I still respect and love this game, and the soundtrack is incredible too.

Game of my childhood, I still remember when I played this in the Sonic Gem Collection and I always got stuck with Bank or Fang. I want my revenge now that I'm an adult.
Considering the game has been ported multiple times on different hardware over the years, it is unlikely they are unable to port it here. We just need a little push!

Vigilante 8
Vigilante 8The game's storyline is built around an alternate history, in which there was a worldwide oil crisis in the 1970s and the U.S. was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots and crime were rampant, and all available law enforcement were brought to the cities leaving the outlands vulnerable. A foreign multinational oil consortium, Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), was determined to monopolize the world oil trade. The U.S. was the last country that stood in their way and they were prepared to go to any length to bring the U.S. to its knees. OMAR hired Sid Burn, a professional terrorist, to push the U.S. economy over the edge. Sid began to organize his troops in the remote areas of the southwest. Calling themselves the "Coyotes," they began to target oil refineries, commercial installations and other vital industry throughout the region. With the law enforcement in the cities, some desperate civilians began to take the law into their own hands. Led by a trucker named Convoy and referred to simply as the "Vigilantes," this oddball group soon became a major hindrance to Sid. Meanwhile, the U.S. government, feeling more vulnerable than ever, was intensifying its research and development of a new military arsenal. The most advanced weaponry, rumored to be based on UFO technology, was located at Site-4, a secret facility at Papoose Lake. This information was not lost on Sid, and the Coyotes ambushed the facility. However the Vigilantes unexpectedly appeared to stop them and as a result, both parties found themselves in possession of the world's most advanced weaponry. What followed were no ordinary skirmishes. Auto clashes ensued all over the land, from Colorado's Rockies to California's farmlands, only to culminate in a battle like no other. To this day the events which took place are only a matter of speculation.
