Story:Squaresoft brings its popular Final Fantasy franchise to the Game Boy Advance in the form of strategic warfare. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance trails the story of a young boy named Marche who is magically transported from his sleepy modern-time home to a strange kingdom where magic and adventure reign supreme. Players control a set of troops who specialize in various fighting, healing, magic, and archery skills (or job classes). Strategically positioning characters on the battle map, and calculating offensive advances are the keys to success. Two players can battle and trade items with the aid of the GBA link cable.Show more

It was the first tactics game I ever played in my life. Made me love the genre. Prefer this one than the War of Lions. Wish Square Enix treated this game better.

I first looked for this game because of Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis. That they were able to combine what's good about Final Fantasy and Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis and its engaging story made this game a gem to play. Sure, the RNG-dependent Gadgeteer can be annoying, true. But it doesn't detract from the fact that it's the job that give Moogles the most stat growth. And, Vieras were just lethal.

Loved, loved looooved this game when I was growing up, had a much different vibe than regular FF Tactics, and frankly a much cooler world IMO. This is one of the games that made me want to start making pixel art, a hobby I keep to this day, loved the artstyle, the isometric pixel art is to die for
This game is a must-play. It still has the best initial story and plot introduction in all of Final Fantasy history. As the fourth Final Fantasy installment I ever played, it created fond memories. This game was definitely made with love, and I believe everyone should play it. Make it happen, GOG!

I would love to see this on GOG I love the game and the jobs system. It really deserves not just a re-release I would love to see a high quality remaster. It blew my mind back in the day

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles
Steel Panthers II: Modern BattlesSteel Panthers 2 - Modern Battles is the sequel to original Steel Panthers. This game however covers the battles of the latter half of the 20th century. You can experience the Korean War in the early 1950s, Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf in the early 1990s, and also several hypothetical late-1990s scenarios. The major improvements in the strategy over the Steel Panthers are the missile-armed units, refined mobility, and the ability of a unit to look in almost any direction instead of straight at a hex side, movable artillery, and helicopters.

The Lost Vikings
The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay. The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings. In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available. Character abilities: All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities: Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet. Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance. Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.
