Please add this game. It's from the same developers that did Submarine Titans which is already on this site. This is an RTS game with a unique twist: all combat takes place at sea. You can even customize ships with weapons, armor, and crew. Some ships will be good at destroying buildings, others ships, and others at killing the enemy crews. You can also capture enemy ships by taking them over, and then sending them back to your shipyards for repairs. There is also a magic system in place. The setting takes place in Greek mythology. You also get to fight cyclopses, harpies, amazons, and all sorts of other mythological creatures. The game has its flaws, for example the pathfinding kinda sucks (as usual for strategy games at that time), but overall fans of the genre should definitely take a look. For me this was one of the first games I have ever played and has remained in my heart ever since I played a demo of it in autumn 1998. I would love to see it added here! Please GOG, make it happen!!!

playing it with my mom in my childhood. My mother was selling the lore and the struggle every christmas to my family. One aunt was so sick of it, she actually borrowed this game and played ca. 200hours of it. will wait forever for one more experiecne on this game.
omg i remember playing this a 10 yr old kid for hours a day long on our family pc. didnt care on getting newer games, this was just perfection to me back in the day. i have a physical dutch cd version of this still that i bought second hand back in the day. but i'd love to actually buy it again , let alone gift it to some of my friends. there are sadly some directmusic issues with modern windows devices (if you change volume ingame , the game will slow to 1fps somehow), so getting a official gog release would need to address such issues though.
The game didn't just stand out in terms of graphics in its genre at the time but also the gameplay and storyline made you want to play it from the start till the end witheout a break. It was possible to play the storyline either the smart way making optimal use of all the gods and their powers or enjoying the game and all of its beauty and ingeniousity at slow pace mining every piece of amber, cathing every last fish, fighting every single enemy, discover every corner of each map,... Just thinking of playing it again gives me the shivers. Nostalgia at it's finest... Well GOG, this game is a musthave in the library, go for it!

Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection
Zoo Tycoon: Complete CollectionAn insidiously addictive simulation game, Zoo Tycoon allows players to create their own zoo, but not just any zoo. It's completely free-form: Start with fences for your exhibits, then pick animals and give them toys, foliage, and anything else you want. For your customers, you can lay down paths to lead them around, then add food stands, amusement rides, even maps and trash cans. Not sure what you need? The zoo advisors will tell you how to make the animals happy, and the customers themselves will tell you what they're looking for, be it snacks, more animals, or anything else. There's also a vast amount of background information on each critter--its diet, its habitat, etc.--which can be useful when you're adding a macrauchenia or a Loch Ness Monster. In all, you can choose over 100 animals, plus countless habitat and park embellishments.

Trapt
TraptTecmo presents TRAPT for the PS2, a puzzle-based game that contains a number of horror elements in its interesting storyline. The game is a continuation of the KAGERO: Deception series that began on the Playstation, but players aren't required to play the original games to understand TRAPT. The storyline begins when Princess Allura is framed for killing her father. As she flees the castle, players learn her dark secret: she's possessed by a demon known as Fiend. Fiend allows Allura to set a number of different traps to kill people, giving Fiend souls to survive off of. As the storyline progresses, players learn more about Fiend and how he came to possess the princess. The gameplay in TRAPT is very unique. As Allura, players run around the room setting traps while avoiding enemies. Once up to nine traps are set, they can be activated once an enemy is near. The traps come in a number of different types, including floor traps like bombs, wall traps like spikes, and ceiling traps like metal balls. Once players understand the system, they can start laying out traps in a way that an enemy will be hit by several at once to create a combo. Of course, it isn't quite that simple: some enemies are immune to certain traps, and some rooms contain areas where traps can't be placed. TRAPT weaves together unique characters, horror elements, and a fun, different gameplay style to create a unique game that will provide hours of challenge.

Zoo Tycoon 2
Zoo Tycoon 2Zoo Tycoon 2 is the sequel to Zoo Tycoon. The sequel updates the graphics, but keeps much of the original gameplay the same. You start with an open field and must build it up into a zoo. Create exhibits and populate them with animals. Build amenities and concession stands to keep visitors happy in between exhibits. Happy visitors will donate more money to your zoo so you can make it better. However, you have much more freedom in exhibit creation. You don't even need fences; a moat or ditch will suffice, as this technique is popular at real high profile zoos. There are also more animals and attractions to place in your zoo, and animal habitats look as realistic as the cartoony graphics style will allow.
