With Fable (and later Fable III) being one of the games I have spent more hours with, and not having the console, I always hated Lionhead and Microsoft Games Studios for releasing Fable II exclusive on Xbox and not on PC. To this day I'm still waiting for them to release it at least on PC, and GOG would be the perfect site to have it.
I'm not even sure how they'd manage to port a console exclusive game to GOG, but if they do it would be WILD. I only played the game once, on PC, using an emulator. It was good for the most part except for some textures going black and my dog suddenly expands to fill the screen. If this game manages to arrive on GOG, I'd be so happy.
Fable was my first RPG in my whole life, and it's a franchise that has a special place in my heart.
Fable The Lost Chapters is my favorite from all the three games (four if you include the Journey, a game that I haven't played nor I will since I don't have a kinnect). but still, I love Fable II and III all the same.
Fable 1 and 2 are both incredibly important, helping to shape the action game umbrella and intentionally going against the grain to redefine the concept of role-playing video games. While the first is on PC in the form of a Steam release, it is unfair to new and old generations alike that Fable 2 and 3 are trapped on consoles that aren't manufactured, anymore. GOG releases would mean much for the preservation of video game history.
As an aside, I've noticed that many people are voting for Fable: TLC over the others. I'll point out that Fable: TLC is already DRM-free; while you must purchase it through Steam, you own it once you do and can run it without Steam even being installed. And you can link the executable to GOG Galaxy. If you're going to vote in this initiative, I encourage you to make sure that what you're voting for isn't already DRM-free and to prioritize games that haven't had the chance to come to PC in any form.
Fable 2 for me was one of the first games I really played growing up. It also so happened to be the first RPG I played and it really sucks to see it not ported to pc. One of the best RPG's on 360 for me
as savio said, fable was the first game i got on xbox..shame it never came to pc
but now it can thanks to gog!
please! i beg of you to bring it to computer so we dont have to emulate!
Fable 2 was the game I played in my childhood that helped me find peace and calm. Years later I’m about to have my first baby and I’m stressed… and I’m still playing this game to find peace. Idk how else to tell you this game is good.
I first played Fable 2 when I was 12 years old, it is one of the first RPG's I played. I remember coming home from school, stopping by my Dad's house, and deciding to stay the night because he'd just bought this game and wanted to try it with me. We ended up staying awake all night playing this, and by the end of the weekend we'd beaten the main story. Not only that, but the dog you get in the game looked almost exactly like the dog we had at the time (RIP) and it was fun as hell to slay bandits with my best friend.

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair007 James Bond: The Stealth Affair, also known as Operation Stealth in Europe, is an adventure game from Delphine Software International, released in 1990. The game is mainly the work of Paul Cuisset (programming) and Jean Baudlot (sound).
The game was released with the Bond license in the United States, although this led to some inconsistencies as the MI6 agent appeared to be taking his orders from the CIA.
The Stealth Affair mainly features a point-and-click style of gameplay reminiscent of many of the LucasArts adventures of the time, as well as a number of more action-oriented elements including an overhead viewed maze section and a scene in which Glames/Bond attempts to escape from an underwater cavern before he runs out of oxygen.
The cracked Amiga version of the game featured a primitive synthesized voice that would perform all the dialogue in the game if 1MB or more RAM was installed. Unfortunately the crack featured a bug which meant that if the player attempted to click the mouse button in order to skip through the speech faster the game would freeze and have to be rebooted. For this reason many seasoned players would actually remove the memory expansion before playing the game for any extended period of time.Action Stealth Mystery
