Played the 1.0 version at a friend's house for the first time. Where still had the Vodka Shot and the Stallion looking like Ultraman. Got instantly hooked. It still makes me sad that we can't have this franchise on PC without resorting to emulation or abandonware. We need to bring it back to present day and mold it in a way that It cannot be hindered by DRM and all that nasty stuff that keeps in the way of replayability. Please, GOG staff. If there's only one game that you guys can bring it back, please do it for Breath of Fire 3.lMRlAsura

I remember playing this as a teen and I think I left my room only to use the restroom for three days. Still a beloved game in my heart that I replay every few years.

I remember watching my brother playing this game and loving to see Ryu transform into different dragons over time. Also seeing an in-game time skip was mind boggling to me. I've been wanting to play this game for over 10 years! It would be a treat to get to finally play it.

Its a pity that the best game in the series aint as demanded as BoF4. It seems it is because of the lack of a PC port, but a PC port exists and was released back in the day in Taiwan and China. They werent great ports but I dont think this would be a problem the GOG team of superheroes could not handle!

I love BoF III. It has a special place in my heart for sure. It has a good story, great characters, a very cool open world, the mini games like fishing are actually really well done and fun, and it is overall just a very good experience. Final Fantasy 7 had all the shine back then, but this jewel is a masterpiece.

BoF III was my first JRPG game and it could not have been better. I can’t get enough of this masterpiece. This game absolutely should be revived and I really hope it will someday!

This game is one of my fondest memories growing up. Absolutely loved the story and mechanics. I still long for Capcom to make a new installment after all these years. This and the 4th game are my favorites in the series.

This was my first PlayStation game and i have a spécial link with it. It was also my first game in english because they never translated it in french and at first i did not understand à thing. But while not knowing what i was reading, the scènes were so well made that i felt the strongest émotions following the story and little by little i forced my way through and began to understand more and more. Now i think it is the reason i have been good in english so early on in life ^^ Besides it has some dam good gameplay mechanics!

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.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
