Battle Forge was one of a kind game made with Strategy gameplay and Deck building in mind that some will think of it as basically Magic the Gathering RTS, however, it had much more depth thanks to it's RTS side which allowed for very unique and fun mechanics such as Unit Sizes actually affecting how each unit would deal with one another, (e.g smaller units getting trampled by bigger ones). The Spells and Unit Abilities could quite literally change the outcome of a battle and it was magnificent to see, specially for the tech of that time! Walls crumbling under the Stampede of a Juggernaut, the impact of Construct Main Cannon hitting a XL Unit and the visual spectacle of the many spells at your disposal are just a few examples of how amazing and addicting Battleforge trully was...and still is! EA being EA shutdown Battleforge back in 2013 due to, most likely, financial reasons, however, the game has been recently revived back in 2020 thanks to passionate fans and rebranded as Skylords Reborn! It not only has a small dedicated playerbase but also recieved several updates in recent years with new cards already avaible and making new fresh and intereting Decks! The game however lacks in visibility and thats where GoG's Dreamlist comes to mind, bringing Battleforge/Skylords Reborn to the Store as a free to play game (as it already is!) on a similar way as they did with Fallout 4: London will could surely help bring newer players to not only play the game but also help expedite it's development progress! We still got a long way ahead of us for Battle Forge to reach a more noticeable place in the ranks of the Dreamlist but I hope one day it will be there or at the very least helps give it more reconition that trully deserves!

Having the game on GOG would greatly expand the audience of the game. Most unforgettable part for me is that I did have the great opportunity to learn and help revive the game for the small but dedicated player base.

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.

It’s a game based on the Dune series book of Frank Herbert and gives the player a real pleasure of both combat and competition.
