This game was on demo disks both as a demo and as a trailer and the 10 year old me searching for new fantasy adventure games found this gem and was hooked forever. Spent many months playing this with my brother as we quested and replayed the main story over and over. To have this preserved with 4 player online support would be amazing as many of my friends ask us about this game as we won't stop talking about it still to this day. Gameplay is still fun though a bit dated but it's the memories you make with your friends as you get instant killed by a fire beetle or a bear mauls you over and over again and your friends need to bail you out of a tight jam. Please bring back one of the most underrated gems from the PS2 library and let the new generation experience everquest again.
I played this game since childhood and every time I bought it I could only play halfway because it had too much space for just one CD and I was never able to download it correctly from the internet and I would love to play the sequel again

Loved the sequel for this game, never got the chance to play this one, and nowadays it's hard to find a working PS2 copy where I live. Bringing this game to PC would allow easy access to me and many others.

This is and has always been one of my favorite fantasy games. I've tried to emulate it over the years but it never works quite right. I own both Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms. I even got a second pre-owned version just so I'd be able to keep a playable copy around. Out of every game I've ever seen remastered or remade this is the one I've always hoped for the most. I'd love to be able to play this game again.

dark alliance was fun but that one was even better we need it to come back such a classic. it just a better diablo but on console wish i could still play it . and you can play with 3 friend was realy a blast
I remember playing this when I was in my early teens long after the game's release. Frustrating at first, but then really enjoyable later when you get a bit more patient and start to learn more about enemies, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 were very good, but Champions and its sequel were, at least to me, just amazing in comparison. Really dated in some of its mechanics, but still enjoyable. Would really love being able to actually buy this one.

This PS2 title is the game that got me into gaming as a kid, besides N64 titles that I'd casually play. Champions is what developed my love for similar games such as Diablo, Path of Exiles, Grim Dawn and Baldur's Gate. Having Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms future proofed and playable on PC as an adult would be amazing.

This game was my go to for many years, even entering into the ps5 era I return to my ps2 to play this. I even managed to get my wife to play this alongside me. Still have my original Fat Aqua ps2 and both Champions games. Definitely would purchase this again and again if ported to pc and/or remastered with updated graphics.

Always played this with my childhood friend as a kid. Amazing game, especially the follow-up. After playing this one, we'd always wait for any news from Snowblind Studios. All games they developed with their inhouse engine were fun, alas only a few games were made. Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I and II, Champions of Norrath and CoN Return to Arms and a fifth unaffiliated game that went by rather unnoticed. After that the studio was acquired and their gates shut. Pity for it.
Dieses Spiel hat einfach eine Portierung auf PC verdient. Mehr braucht man dazu eigentlich nicht schreiben. War einer meiner meist gespielten A-RPGs auf der PS2

The player can also get married both same and opposite sex and bring up children to childhood but no farther, expressions are a lot more interactive with NPC's than before

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the 10th sequel of the Legend of Zelda action-adventure series. It's the first game of the series to be set on a group of islands in the sea. Therefore, many of Link's actions base on sailing and travelling from island to island, making a baton for controlling the wind the key item of the game. Wind Waker is the first game of the Series with a cel-shaded graphic style. Since fans expected a Zelda game with realistic graphics like being shown at the Space World in 2000, the cel-shading look was critisized and discussed controversial for being too cartoonish.

Valkyria Chronicles 3: Unrecorded Chronicles
Valkyria Chronicles 3: Unrecorded ChroniclesSenjou no Valkyria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles, usually referred to as Valkyria Chronicles III, is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation Portable. It is the third game in the Valkyria Chronicles series and was released on January 27, 2011 exclusively in Japan. An expanded version of the game, subtitled Extra Edition was released in Japan on November 23, 2011. The game features an opening song Moshimo Kimi ga Negau no Nara sung by Japanese singer May'n. Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935. Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption. As described by its catchphrase, the game tells "The tale of nameless soldiers who, on the verge of despair, changed history." The game was the first in the series to not officially be translated into English by Sega. However, an unofficial fan translation for the Extra Edition was eventually released in December 2013.
