On the original NES. This game was my introduction to a console RPG. It was a fantastic first experience. Not only did I play through it myself, my Dad did, too. Back in that era, you had to share the tv. When Dad was playing, he had a goal to beat it wearing nothing, and using a bamboo stick. And he did it, after hours (read days to weeks) of grinding. HA! This game MUST be preserved.
The two weeks I rented this when I was 5 taught me more about video games than any game until Mario 64. I will never forget the feeling of being ripped off as the final boss restored his whole health over and over, and the level grinding I did to utterly vanquish them! Beating it was such a rush! This game is one of the most important games of all-time, and while it is great we got the HD-2D version on modern consoles and Steam, the original release, the MSX port, the superior Super Famicom remake, the Game Boy Color remake, and the 2004/2013 mobile remake should all be preserved and commercially available. No place is better for that than GOG.

The original Dragon Quest is special because it is a bit more open ended than the other titles in the series. While supremely simple compared to RPGs from the last decade, Dragon Quest really did evolve the genre into a more playable and visually appealing state. It is also a brisk gaming experience at about 9 hours. This was the origin of the console RPG, hammering down classics like the early Ultimas to its basic elements. I greatly enjoyed finding this game in my middle school years. It would be great to see more people be able to explore this game easily.

Dragon Quest was the video game genre that captured my heart for JRPGs. The art and depths of characters from simple dialoge to early NPC life are fantastic A game that would help inspire many others.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

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.

Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
