If you can look past that goofy music at the Robo getting attacked by Robots scene. Then, this is overall a fun classic old school RPG. I think its worth preserving. It aint bad. Sure it might attract theatre kids, which is always a risk. But good game nonetheless! Very fun!shadowthehedgehog1

The best game on the SNES, and the DS version was even better. I remember being excited when the game finally came to PC< as it meant many of my friends would finally get to play it... but then I learned it was a port of the mobile game, While the PC version has been improved, I would love to see GOG get a hold of this and bring back the classic DS version with the new localization for us true fans.

This game is one of my favorite games of all time. If you haven't tried this game, I would strongly urge you to try it! I first played this game when it came out on SNES with my friends and it was amazing! The games every element came together just right to really pull you into the story and enjoying the game play. It did things that we hadn't seen before and only added to the fun when we discovered something new and discussed it. There are few games I'd played before or since that I enjoyed quite this much, so much so that I've beaten this game so many times I'm not entirely sure how many times I've beaten it. I would really like to see a copy of this on GOG for the same reasons I like seeing anything on GOG: the support as well as the lack of DRM so that I can continue to play this into the future.

I was very disappointed by the Steam version of this game, I still recommend the SNES version for anyone looking to play it and had really wished for a PC Port to be more faithful to it. Ideally, it'd be very nice to see a new PC Port that is truly the original game with it's original visuals updated to fit widescreen displays.

Chrono Trigger is one of those "Must Play" games. I think it is very important to preserve this absolute gem. In 50 years time people need to be ABLE to look back at this and see what a great artform Video Games can be.

Nostalgia will always be a factor for me, but Chrono Trigger is a must play for a reason. The game was innovative in the 90s, and holds up today. As one of the great works of Akira Toriyama and the rest of the "Dream Team", CT definitely deserves a place in GOG's library of preserved games.

This game is incredible. It is one of the defining RPGs, and for very good reason. I'm too young for the original SNES version, but I played the DS version and I loved it. Being able to play it again on gog would be incredible!

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.
