I first heard about the Magic Candle series in the packaging for Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale (which is an amazing game in its own right). When I read that Bloodstone was built with the Magic Candle III engine, I started looking for this game. Back then in the 90s, I was never able to find it. Since I started finding amazing games on GOG, I've periodically looked for The Magic Candle III. I hope that at some point it will arrive and I'll be able to experience the magic that I couldn't find as a kid, and that it will propel me into the whole Magic Candle trilogy.
Played this way back when they first came out. Classic old school RPGs that would be fun to replay, or play for the first time for others who love classic games. Would love to own them forever on GOG!

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite 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.

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.
