This is am amazing game that taught me a lot about geography, history, and 80s geopolitics. We need a version for 2025 on GOG, which would be a total blast.

Listen up Gumshoe!. I can't believe that such a classic game is not on GOG. I played this game when I was kid, and I thought that the illustrations looked so realitic (compared to 8 bit system). I would really want to get this game. In fact we need all of the Where in... collection.

I have started many games, many times. But I have not started as many times as this one. Back then I was too young and didn't know enough English to properly play the game, I still try a new game every now and then with old emulators and abandonware sites.
The entire Carmen Sandiego series needs to come to gog as part of the gog preservation program in all their original glory! These great games need to be presented and preserved in their original format so players new and old can enjoy them for many years to come! No updates or enhancements, please!
Those games also need your vote!

The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Mother 1+2Mother 1+2 is a compilation of the first two installments of the Mother series, MOTHER and MOTHER 2: GIYGAS STRIKES BACK! (known outside Japan as EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound, respectively). Mother tells the story of Ninten, a 12-year-old boy who journeys around the world using his psychic powers to collect eight melodies in order to save the planet from an evil race of mind-controlling aliens. Mother 2 tells the story of Ness, a young boy who journeys around the world also using psychic powers to collect eight melodies in order to save the future from an alien of pure evil, intending to sentence all of reality to the horror of eternal darkness. The version of Mother included in this bundle has a special item that can be used to change the difficulty of the game, since it lessens the amount of random encounters and modifies the overall status of the enemies.
