This essentially is the original Ghostbusters 3. You have the original cast reprising their roles from the first two movies. You actually play as a rookie that's getting trained by the Ghostbusters. This game did a great job making you feel like an actual Ghostbuster. You get to explore several locations some from the first two movies. There's a good variety of ghosts you get to caught. They also hid some great surprises you won't see coming. I personally felt this is the best Ghostbusters game I ever played!!!
**Why *Ghostbusters: The Video Game* (2009 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s an Amazing Game** *Ghostbusters: The Video Game* (2009) isn’t just a tie-in—it’s the true spiritual successor to the original films. Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, and featuring the full original cast (Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Aykroyd, and Ramis), it’s the *Ghostbusters 3* fans had always hoped for. The game’s story fits seamlessly into the universe, offering a funny, spooky, and heartfelt continuation that feels 100% authentic. The original PC version had charm the remaster couldn’t quite capture. It featured a unique lighting atmosphere, tighter gameplay mechanics, and a better sense of pacing. Even though the remaster improved visuals and performance, it cut out the multiplayer and lacked some of the original’s soul. The OG version also had a less “plastic” look compared to the remaster’s often over-polished models. From blasting ghosts with the Proton Pack to exploring haunted landmarks in New York, the game lets you live the dream of being a Ghostbuster like no other title before or since. The gameplay mixed action, puzzle-solving, and environmental destruction in a way that felt fresh and exciting. Bringing the 2009 PC version to GOG would not only preserve this cult classic DRM-free, but would give fans the definitive version of the game—complete with original atmosphere and tone. It’s more than nostalgia; it’s about preserving a pivotal piece of gaming and movie crossover history. Who ya gonna call? GOG.

Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom HeartsThe premise of Kingdom Hearts is designed around traveling to a collection of levels that are both original designs, and based on various Disney stories, referred to in-game as "Worlds". The Worlds are populated by NPC's, based on relevant characters from the corresponding Disney story, for example, the World based on Disney's Alice in Wonderland features appearances by Alice, the White Rabbit, and the Queen of Hearts. Interacting with these characters forms part of gameplay, while combating the games enemies, the "Heartless" forms the other. Successful completion of a World is accomplished by defeating a key foe, which is either the primary villain from the Disney story, a unique Heartless of particular strength, or a combination thereof. Each world has a key foe which must be defeated, although there are many mini-bosses, side quests and treasures to be found that contribute to character progression within the game, and give bonuses for their completion in the form of weapons, items, and bonus scenes. The game uses an experience based progression system, with experience gained by defeating foes. Experience gained rises in relation to the strength of the foe, and is consistent for each enemy over the course of the game. Levels are gained with experience, and provide increases to stat attributes in strength, defence, magic, hit points, magic points and ability points, with a new, predetermined ability unlocked approximately every four levels. Enemies also drop a combination of four types of reward upon death, green orbs that replenish HP, blue, translucent bubbles that replenish MP, yellow diamonds that contribute funds to the in-game currency "Munny", and tiny chests that when picked up, add a item to the players inventory based on the foe defeated. Such items include those used to restore HP and MP, items to aid party members or synthesis materials which can be used to create weapons and armor.
