Story:Downhill Domination is a video game based on a fictional racing event with fictional racers mixed with a few unlockable professional racers. The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2.
Downhill Domination includes a very different style of gameplay that differs from standard bike racing games by having the character riding downhill almost exclusively (hence the name), due to the incline of the tracks.Show more

This was one of the first games I played when I was a kid, and without a doubt, it’s one of my favorites. I remember the weekends when I would turn on my PlayStation 2 and put in the pirated CD of this game—it was seriously one of my all-time favorites. I really miss playing it again.
Now, having the original version and owning it forever would make me so happy. I also remember the days when I would call my cousins over to play this amazing game. The rule was simple: whoever fell off the bike had to pass the controller to the next player—it was so much fun!
I would be really happy to buy this game that was such a big part of my childhood.
This game takes an arcade-y approach of the downhill sports, with huge jumps, insane speed, impossible air tricks, and combat (yes, combat). The race takes place in various countries and are grouped into three types: Freeride (the longest), Technical Downhill (more obstacles), and Mountain Cross (the shortest). The riders consist of fictional ones, who are mostly on the stereotypical side, with a few real-life pros. You'll either love them or hate them.
This is one of my favorite PS2 games and a big part of my childhood. I was never into sports game until I played this one. It's just fun, and it has a bit of those "early 2000s vibes" that I quite like.
I doubt that Sony will ever remaster this game, or even dig it up from their IP lists (would love to be proved wrong). With that being said, I hope that GOG can preserve this hidden gem.
I originally bought this game as a fluke, at HOLLYWOOD Video and me and my brothers didn't have a lot of games but we played this game relentlessly. It was one of those games that none of us could absolutely say with certainty that we were the best at. We would play this over and over again setting up our characters and gear to get just the right combination. Then there was the powerups and all the punching and throwing and tricks suddenly became not just about being the first one to make it downhill the fastest.
I'm dying to play this game again with my brothers and I'm hoping that we can get it out of the past and put it in a place that not only we could play and rediscover but a game we can share with others now that we've grown up a bit.
Eternal ChampionsSega released Eternal Champions for their Mega Drive/Genesis in 1993, hoping to capitalize on the fighting game mania that the game industry was in the midst of following the massive success of Street Fighter II (1991) and Mortal Kombat (1992). The game tried to set itself apart with unique features like a heavier emphasis on its story, characters pulled from different time periods, reflectable projectiles, force fields, fighters that carried weapons, a training mode where players had to defend themselves against robotic traps, a novel method of executing moves, and elaborate stage-specific finishing moves called "Overkills".Action
WeaponLordA barbarian battleground. Seven different warriors, eached armed with a unique weapon set forth on a fighting game quest where they will clash and conflict with one another in this fighting game from Namco. Their ultimate foe is the mysterious Demonlord. An early relative of the popular Soul Calibur series, the main claim to fame of this game is the weapon play. Blocking and combos are present along with special "frenzies" of increased attack and death combos. The backgrounds are all hand drawn and meticulously detailed. Each character carries their own storyline with them between arenas, jungles and firey mountains on a quest to oppose the Demonlord.
Note: Laid the groundwork for Soul Edge (1995)--the first of the Souls games. Visual Concepts (developers of WeaponLord) would send builds of the game to Namco (the publisher of WeaponLord) to playtest. Inturn, Mace: The Dark Age (1997 arcade)--developed by Atari--heavily "borrowed" from Soul Edge.Action
