This is an obscure, yet an awesome game, on par with the original X-COM. Or, maybe, No Man's Sky or Outer wilds or Homeworld, as it would've made in the 90's. I want this freedom again - to command a giant mothership, to send little crafts with limited fuel to various planets, to discover the secrets of those planets, to figure out how to build sustainable economies on them.
Alien Legacy was my first 4x game. To this day, I find myself playing it not once but twice back to back. This game taught me how to manage resources and prioritize tasks that I use 30 years later. Being able to explore planets, find history about the origin of life, and learn different sciences and how they affect each planet and better mankind. This was the PERFECT game as a child, and I would love to see this on a modern PC so that I can share this with my children.
An obscure but amazing title from Sierra, Alien Legacy is a 4x with a plot, voice acting in the CD version, and many features that made it stand out for many of us from that time period. I wrote to add this to GOG years ago; hopefully voting gets it added to others can see this incredible title.
It was a strange game different from everything else. Its a 4x game, its a mystery game, its a colony sim, its a spaceship simulator and also an exploration game.
Even today i have great memories of exploring the Beta Caeli Star System. Also a very hard and challenging game.
Hope it gets a GOG release.
I spent a tremendous amount of time playing this game back the day. It's got voice acting, a fantastic story, interesting twists, and scratched both my exploration and city-building itches. The music is also fantastic. It definitely stands out and was a huge push in making me really interested in science and astronomy. I replayed it relatively recently and I think it holds up pretty well and could be enjoyed by many today.

Ratchet: DeadlockedRatchet: Deadlocked is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series by Insomniac Games. Deadlocked is different in its counterparts in that it focuses more on shooting than platforming and puzzle elements. The game allows you to use two bots to fight along side you, which can be upgraded over time with better weapons and firepower.
There are 10 total weapons in the game, significantly less than the other games. However, modding these weapons is more emphasized than before, with different kinds of Alpha and Omega mods. Omega mods can be used on any weapon, and range from the freeze mod to the magma mod. Alpha mods are weapon-specific, and increase the rate of fire, ammo capacity, and power. The game also features online multiplayer.
Clank is not a playable character in this game, although he gives advice to Ratchet over his communication link.Action Comedy Science fiction
Ratchet & ClankRatchet & Clank is a platform/adventure game in a similar vein to the 3D versions of the Rayman, Sonic, Mario, or other games. It involves the two protagonists Ratchet, a furry alien creature, and Clank, a nerdy little robot, going on a quest to find Captain Qwark and ultimately to help save the galaxy.
Ratchet & Clank includes many of the best features of previous similar games, but makes itself unique in a number of ways. Firstly each of the game's levels are huge sweeping vistas with extremely detailed buildings which are visible at all times (i.e. there is no distance fog). This means that a building on the horizon is not just a "backdrop"; in all likelihood Ratchet will be exploring it in a few moments time. Secondly, the game includes a number of sub-games, such as a space fight sequence and a number of turret shoot-outs which are akin to Missile Command in the first person.
The game has over twenty levels (planets) and includes as many real-time cut-scenes which tell the story. Also of note is that the story is non-linear, requiring the player to return to previous levels to complete objectives and to choose between multiple paths forward. There is also a respectable array of weapons, gadgets, and accessories to find or buy as the game progresses, which offer some unique gameplay features.Action Comedy Science fiction
