This is the only game where a tazer is a lethal weapon. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you've never played this game. Besides that, as someone who grew up on the PS1, this was our equivalent of Nintendo's Goldeneye and honestly? I think we got the better game in the end.

This was the first game I completed as a child, it is very entertaining, a good story, a variety of weapons, stealth mechanics and a lot of shooting, it brings back very good memories.
A pre tom clancy game with serious good voice acting for a psx game :D loved it still do bought ps5 version 10 euro still worth it :D ( understanding english now is a plus)
My favorite moments with Syphon Filter were playing this with my older brother. It was such a rich and visually distinctive game for the time. When I think back to 1998-99 me and Billy (1975-2014) enjoyed the dynamic realism to the combat system. The controls were spot on and responsive. The visual style creatively helped open the door for games which would come. The aiming system was well ahead of its time.
I still remember when I played this game first time, I didn't have a Playstation myself, but I played at a videogame house, here in Brazil these places helped many kids whom wasn't able to buy a console to play many games. I really respect you guys and you make me feel part of GOG. Thanks a lot for everything. Love you all.

Tabula Rasa
Tabula RasaRichard Garriott's Tabula Rasa was an MMORPG developed by Destination Games and published by NCsoft, designed in part by some of the creators of Ultima Online including Richard Garriott. The game was a role-playing video game that blended certain shooter aspects into the combat system. It was officially released to retail on November 2, 2007, with customers that pre-ordered the game allowed access to the live servers from October 30, 2007. The development team released updates, called "Deployments," nearly every month following launch. The game required a monthly subscription. Tabula Rasa was about humanity's last stand against a group of aliens called the Bane. The story took place in the near future on two planets, Arieki and Foreas, which were in a state of constant conflict between the AFS (Allied Free Sentients) and the Bane. The term tabula rasa means "clean slate" in Latin, which refers to a fresh start, or starting over. According to the developers, the game included the ability for players to influence the outcome of a war between the player characters and the NPCs.

In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.
