The music, cutscenes, and sound design make this game unforgettable. This is hard to describe, but in some games you walk through narrow corridors, where every room feels the same. In Deadly Tide, the player is transported under the ocean. I can feel the scale of the environment. Although the game itself is short, it's not just about the length of the game - but how it inspires you afterwards. Have you ever played a game where you immediately wanted to know what's next? I want to play more, I want to see more of this world, I want more games to be just like Deadly Tide. Why do I want this game on GOG? Because I don't think anyone can play it anymore. I bought a physical copy with a game CD. When I tried to play it on recent versions of Windows, Windows wouldn't even detect the CD. I had to uninstall Windows updates or pull my decade-old computer out of mothballs. People sometimes ask what game they would want to see remastered with the latest, cutting-edge graphics. Deadly Tide comes to mind. Don't let this game die. Don't let the non-existent franchise die. I want this game remastered, keeping the old music, sound effects, and cutscenes. The game ended on a cliffhanger. What if there was a sequel? What if there was a franchise? ...... Just watch the trailers and see for yourself.
I had a demo of this game back in the day and have great memories of it. The music was spectacular for it's time. The gameplay itself was no big deal, it's basically just a "shooter". You shoot your guns at the right moment in the right place. Visually it was very cinematic. A fun game with a great soundtrack. I would pay a few dollars for it.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
