The dreamcast is home to so many gems and illbleed is one of them. In a genre thats filled with so much of the same gameplay Illbleed stands tall to differentiate itself from its competitors. over 24 years later and nothing like illbleed has been replicated in gaming. I've played dozens & dozens of survival horror games and i've never experienced something quite like illbleed. It's visuals and lighting are so atmospheric while its soundtrack goes in tandem with it. Shinya Nishigaki the founder of climax graphics/crazy games, was planning for illbleed to be ported to the xbox but he sadly passed before it came to fruition. Which led the port to be canceled even though it was 80% finished. I believe this game deserves to be ported to GOG so new audiences can experience this macabre campfest. This game does not deserve to be left on a niche console while having to pay over $300 to play it. So I speak for myself and all the fans of illbleed that this game is given the justice it deserves to be properly preserved. Thank you for everyone thats read this and has voted towards illbleed being re released on GOG.

This needs to be preserved for the insanity that is Toy Hunter: Cork goes to Hell alone. This game is both downright insane and a super unique game in the Survival Horror genre and it doesn't deserve to be trapped on the Dreamcast in a weird rights limbo for all eternity.

This game is very unique. I don't think there has ever been anything like this ever made again. Its really in a time capsule in a way. I know the creator passed away a long time ago and a port for the Original Xbox was intended at one point but was not made ultimately, so the game always been stuck on Dreamcast. Granted you can emulate Dreamcast without too much issues in general, but it would be cool that the game would be "easier to get". I could never find wich company own the liscence tough. So my hopes are low but still...
I don't know if this game will ever be ported to Gog but you never know. A fan of horror and games that stand out from the crowd, this game caught my eye with its dark and wacky atmosphere but which is unfortunately stuck on the Dreamcast (a console that I unfortunately don't have) and it's a shame because it looks cool and deserves to be discovered by more people.

I have no experience with this game or the original hardware, but I've seen plenty enough reviews and gameplay vids to interest me in its preservation. It's a real shame that Shinya Nishigaki's passing put an end to development for the Xbox port and sequel for this and Blue Stinger. Despite their flaws, there was something good here.
This game is pure madness. It's a weird combo of Resident Evil and Goofiness. And a few (And I do mean few, it's not alot.) RPG Elements. The Characters are all vivid and alive. The Levels and Monsters are........all really crazy. And the Plot is 5 kinds of Insane. There is not really another game like it and we really need to preserve this game, cause we probably will never get another game like it again. This is a game that needs more people to play or even just experience it via their favorite Streamer.
Those games also need your vote!

MediEvil: Resurrection
MediEvil: ResurrectionMediEvil: Resurrection is a 2005 action-adventure game for the PlayStation Portable and is the third installment in the MediEvil video-game series. It is a reimagining of the first installment in the series, MediEvil, with many alterations to the original structure and content, such as the addition of the "Anubis Stone" sub-plot which never appeared in the original. Many things such as level design and characters were changed drastically, and some levels from the original were removed altogether. New levels and characters were introduced, the cutscenes are completely original, and the game was given a much more comical, cartoon-like style as opposed to the Gothic horror-comedy of the original. The soundtrack is completely orchestrated, and half of the themes from the original were removed while new themes were created to fit with the new levels. Unlike the original, there is no alternate ending; Dan still goes to the Hall of Heroes regardless of whether he collects all of the chalices. The game also features a variety of voice talent, including Tom Baker as the narrator and the Grim Reaper.

MediEvil
MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere. The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds. Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.

The game allows you to explore past levels as well as collecting the Chalice which gives a new weapon once 100% of the souls have been returned in the level. The game has many comedic moments, such as when Sir Dan tries conversing with a bunch of midgets in the city sewers who think he is an almighty God.
