This game is a piece of history as the father of jedi outcast and jedi academy, with gameplay that holds up perfectly today. It deserves to be preserved as it's basically abandonware and it would be a crime to lose access to this gem.
Where to begin, one of my favourite games growing up, wonderful atmosphere and world, beautiful level design, I always really felt like I was on a long adventure. Today, it still plays great, the movement mechanics are really fun, years ahead of its time even. It's one of those pocket realms of the 90's that they put a lot of thought into designing, I have the physical lore book to prove it. These days even with the disc it's a nightmare getting it fired up without visual bugs and crashes, so it would really flourish with a bit of love. Fingers crossed.
I have fond memories of Heretic II, playing it as a kid with my brother. I love that it has a campaign co-op mode built right in, you don't need any mods or anything to just host and play through the entire thing, and it's an awesome experience. A little weird and lore-breaking to have two (or more!) Corvuses (Corvusi?) I guess, but well worth it.
Please, GOG, revive this absolute gem!
I remember when the original Heretic game came out and I enjoyed the shareware version over at my friends' house. Later I purchased the full version over the telephone from Id Software's store. I really enjoyed the game, however, so did another one of my friends who kept my copy after a sleepover at his house.
Fast forward a few years and Heretic 2 came out and I was excited having been a huge fan of Hexen 1 and 2. Somewhat to my dismay I found out that it was a third person perspective and not the first person view I had become accustomed too. I didn't like Tomb Raider particularly on the original PlayStation but after playing this game for awhile, became my favorite game in the series. I thought the voice acting was pretty good for its time and the controls were very responsive.
I would love for GOG to bring this game over to their platform so I and many other could enjoy it once again. I did try to install the original Heretic 2 CD on my Windows 11 PC but to no avail. GOG is probably the only way I amd others can play this masterpiece again. Thank you!
This game deserves better, it deserves to be preserved as a fun, unique and cohesive experience.
You don't need to play either the original Heretic, nor any other Doom clones to enjoy this game.
You can't get this game anywhere and many people are missing this awesome era of Raven Software.
My dad built me a PC when I was little maybe 5 or 6 and he put this game on it. This ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time. Great gameplay and story, a beautiful world with unique characters with their own lore, I just absolutely loved it, even with how young I was. I haven't played this game since I was 10 probably and now I'm turning 24 in just a few months and I still quote things from this game and tell others just how bad I wish I could play it again.
I had the release PC CD-Rom of the game, spent hours playing, having fun with spells and good puzzles, and the memorable phrases, "I'll have to open this elsewhere".
I have a bit of a soft spot for Heretic II, even as someone who didn't play it until several years after its release (2017). It keeps drawing me back. Not entirely sure why. Maybe it's just because it's fun to play. But no matter what reason it is, this game didn't sell well, and I feel it deserves another chance. They may have changed the perspective from the previous Heretic/Hexen games, but it's still got the same core gameplay, just with some tweaks. For a while now, I've believed it's unfair that all the other games in the series have been re-released, but this one hasn't (nor has Hexen II's expansion, Portal of Praevus; that should also be re-released for the complete Heretic/Hexen collection). Let's hope GOG can change that and allow more people to experience this not-as-well-known classic.
One of the first pc games I've ever played in my youth! I loved the dark and scary atmosphere but it sadly was a bit hard for me then haha. I really hope I can get the chance to finish this more than 10 years later!

Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a HeroThe little town of Spielburg is populated mostly by beer-drinking humans and some centaurs who like working in the field. Spielburg is surrounded by forests and mountains, where all kinds of weird creatures dwell: ogres, goblins, talking foxes, stupid magicians, and others. Lately, Spielburg has been assaulted by brigands; besides, the witch Baba Yaga is not to be trusted. The town has everything it needs--even a Thieves Guild--except a strong, brave hero who would protect it. So when a wandering adventurer enters the town, he quickly realizes that his skills might be of use.
Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero is a hybrid game that contains Role-Playing and Adventure elements. It is visually very similar to other Quest titles by Sierra (such as for example Space Quest), but the gameplay--besides the usual exploration, conversations with characters, and the solving an occasional puzzle with the help of inventory items--also involves combat and character development. In the beginning of the game, the player chooses a character class for the protagonist--either a Fighter, a Mage, or a Thief. The choice of class will influence not only the combat, but also many other events in the game. Puzzles might have different solutions depending on the class and the amount of ability points in various categories.
The main character's skills and abilities are raised directly by repeatedly performing appropriate actions, e.g. fighting enemies, practicing, climbing, throwing objects, etc. Many of those activities are necessary to perform in order to successfully complete the game. Combat takes the player to a separate screen (represented by the enemy's picture) and involves timed selection of commands such as Attack, Parry, etc. The interaction with the game-world is performed by typing verb commands or conversation topics.
The game features a day/night cycle, which also includes character schedules. The main character can get hungry and tired, so feeding him and getting some rest is essential.Fantasy

Resident Evil: Deadly SilenceResident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS port. It was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series. Toshiaki Mori provided promotional artwork during the release of the game, including cover art.
Deadly Silence includes a "Classic Mode", the original game with minimal enhancements and touch-screen support, and a "Rebirth Mode", containing a greater number of enemies and a series of new puzzles that make use of the platform's specifications.
The game makes use of the dual screen display with the top screen used to display the map, along with the player's remaining ammunition and health (determined by the color of the background); while the bottom screen displays the main action, and can be switched to show the player's inventory. The DS version also includes updated play mechanics: the 180-degree turn introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, along with the knife button and tactical reload from Resident Evil 4. The updated controls are applicable to both Classic and Rebirth modes. Dialog and loading screens can now be skipped. The live-action footage was still censored, even in the game's Japanese release; however, the scene showing Kenneth's decapitated head was kept.
In "Rebirth", new puzzles are added that use the system's touch-screen. "Knife Battle" sequences, viewed from a first-person perspective, are also added, in which the player must fend off incoming enemies by swinging the knife via the stylus. One particular puzzle requires the player to resuscitate an injured comrade by blowing into the built-in microphone. The player can also shake off enemies by using the touch screen, performing a melee attack.
The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other solve puzzles and escape the mansion together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters, with the tougher monsters being worth more points. There are three playable multiplayer stages and nine playable characters.Horror Survival
