It was my favorite game of my childhood, but I don't think I have cleared this game to this day. One day I will. I'm not sure why exactly I loved it - it was probably all the action in this game, because I definitely didn't know the puzzles. The experimenting with all the levers and discovering different path was also really cool

The PC DOS (1991) version of this game was the first port I played - ah memories! A great game that has everything you need: cool graphics, neat soundtrack and gameplay that is challenging without being too hard so that you keep coming back to play it. Once you got used to the janky inventory system (you don't just pick up an item and that's it, you have to pick it up and then move the selected item slot highlight to a blank one, otherwise the object you pick up will drop back onto the floor immediately) you were away. Great graphics, playability and presentation make for another Bitmap Bros classic well worth your time. I am surprised this game hasn't had more votes as it is easily on par with their best game, The Chaos Engine. Anyway, if GOG do add it to their roster one day (PLEASE!) it doesn't take much to get it working in DosBox. Either that, or they could somehow wrangle getting the GODS Remastered version by Robot Riot onto GOG? It is no longer available on Steam.

After Remastered was delisted on Steam, I wondered if Robot Riot's remake would be more at home on GOG alongside other Bitmap Brothers classics like Chaos Engine. Moreover, I was surprised even the original wasn't on here to begin with. This game has become increasingly difficult to play in current day without owning a physical copy, and for as brutally difficult as it can get, it definitely deserves to be experienced. That being said, the delisting of Remastered is due to licensing agreements, so this might be more complicated, but still. It's a rough as nails classic.
Enjoyed playing this game back in the early 90's. The emulated (Mega-Drive) version is way too fast paced which makes it harder to play. They had brought out a remastered version of this on steam at least a year ago but it's now been de-listed, to be released on other platforms and mobile. Proof why we need ports to be preserved on GOG, even when re-releases aren't even safe anymore.
This game was important in my youth because was one of the first games that i play on a pc and was a ground breaking platform game in all aspects back in that day. Great story, great graphics and nice unforgettable intro music. I'd love to play it again.

BattleBlock Theater
BattleBlock TheaterIn BattleBlock Theater, players control a prisoner as they are forced to play through games devised by Hatty Hattington. Controls are simple, with the game largely consisting of running, jumping and punching. Levels are made up of various types of blocks, such as collapsing blocks, sticky walls, bouncy volcanic rocks and deadly spikes, and also feature hazards such as water and deadly creatures. The main mode in the game is Adventure Mode, which can be played solo or co-operatively with a second player. During co-operative play, players are able to work together to overcome obstacles, which includes throwing them across gaps, using their heads as platforms and helping each other up ledges, although there is just as much opportunity to sabotage your partner. Adventure mode consists of various worlds each with a set of levels. In order to progress to the next world, players need to collect gems which can also be used to unlock new customiseable parts. Players can also collect balls of yarn which they can use to bribe cat guards and unlock new weapons, such as frisbees and vacuum cleaners. Collecting all gems and the yarn will get you an A++ in the level and two extra gems. Arena mode is a competitive mode for up to four players, which can be played free-for-all or in teams. There are several match types including: Soul: Steal enemy soul and run away. Capture and hold the enemy's souls to gain points. Kill a soul-carrier to release their souls to roam the level. Muckle: Beat and kill the enemy team to earn your team points. Challenge: Score the best time on a given level. King Of The Hill: Stand on the crown blocks to gain your team points. Color The World: Color more blocks than the other team. Grab The Gold: Grab more gold from the golden whale than the other team and deposit it in the flying safe to score points for your team Ball Game: Get the ball in the basket. Horse: Ride the opposing team's horse to your stables to gain points for your team. Along with a Time Attack mode, the game also features a Level Editor, which allows players to create their own stages for any game type. These levels can be assembled into a playlist, consisting of various Adventure and Arena levels, and uploaded to the community for others to download. There is also additional content unlocked for players who also own Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid HD.[3][4]

Treasures of the Deep
Treasures of the DeepThe gameplay in Treasures of the Deep focuses on underwater exploration in a variety of wetsuits and gradually more powerful one-man submarines, in order to fulfill objectives such as capping underwater oil leaks, exploring shipwrecks, and recovering plane crash victims. Finding treasure is also a useful secondary objective - ancient gems from a sunken ship can be put towards upgrading your weapons, equipment, and subs. The game takes place over 14 diverse underwater locations, ranging from the Bermuda Triangle to Antarctica. The levels are designed to evoke a claustrophobic and moody environment. The game's soundtrack was composed by award winning video game composer Tommy Tallarico. There is one unlockable 'bonus' level, Atlantis. A player can occasionally unlock another bonus level called 'Shark Attack', where they play as a shark, with the objective of eating as many sea creatures or divers as possible.
