Budokai 3 is an awesomely done Dragon Ball game with excellent Battle Animations as well as the general feel of playing a game full of passion and soul. The Dragon Universe (Story Mode) is a joy to play both for unlocking new stuff, as well as just exploring the world of DBZ and finding lots of unexpected what-if scenarios on the way! Now imagine the possibilities with what fans could do, alongside increasing the difficulty, making harder and newer characters and scenarios. This is the game that desperately NEEDS a PC port! Make it come true!

Dragon ball was a part of my childhood weather thats the manga, anime , or even the Games DBZ was the pop culture of japan that spread worldwide its one of the shows that bring westrens latinos and asian together, when this game released everything about it represent DBZ in a good way that i know people who played Budikai 3 as their first entry to dragon balll then watched the show which is crazy, if this game got released on GOG it will be a legendary win for GOG like having metal gear for the longest time and ill buy it 5 times on all my accounts :)
I love this game! For everything you represent in my life and in my childhood. I would be willing to buy all the games in this franchise but looking at the votes... I believe that GOG will re-release this game in at least 10 years
Those games also need your vote!

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of HeroesIn this game, players engage in combat with a team of 2 characters or with a single giant character and attempt to knock out their opponents. It is the 7th Capcom-designed installment in their Vs. fighting game series, which includes the Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK series, and the first to be fully rendered in 3D graphics. The game is set in a 2.5D environment; characters fight in a two-dimensional arena, but character models and backgrounds are rendered in three-dimensional graphics. The game is designed around a simplified three-button attack system, which was inspired by the simplistic control schemes commonly used by both the Vs. series and the Wii. This is a direct port of the original Arcade game (that use Wii-based hardware) of the same name and was released only in Japan 2 years prior to the international updated version "Ultimate All-Stars".

Twisted Metal
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.

True Crime: Streets of LA
True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.
