When i was a kid, i loved zombies and everything with zombies on. Someday i was searching for zombies games to play on my old PC and find Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green to download it. I was so happy playing the game at the game but never got to finish the game. I really wanna the chance to oficially play the game again.
I played this a LOT when I was younger on my Xbox. I loved it and would love to be able to relive my childhood. I remember getting home from school and just playing this from start to finish.

This game had some genuinely creepy moments like the living dead squirming around in their body bags. Since it's a licensed game I doubt there is much chance of a resurrection but while there is life, there is hope :)
The game never was jaw dropping, it was notoriously and righteously panned by critics on release. Dumb AI being one of them, even for being zombies. Dated visuals i believe was another. However at the time there weren't many, if any pure zombie FPS games to be had so this fit a nice niche at the time before Left 4 Dead, Dead Island and Dying Light. Campaign is average at best but still serviceable, the real fun was multiplayer. I dont mean the default MP the game shipped with, it was just a barebones deathmatch or a wave survival mode (on tiny maps), but the modding community improved on that, there were alot of cool maps made for the game, large too. A few things i always remember about LOTD is the punchy head popping revolver and the worst shotgun in videogames ever, it could miss at point blank! Anyway, the usermade maps, with added content thanks to the Unreal Editor, they made the mall from Dawn of the dead -78, the bunker from Day of the Dead (with alot of zombies in the elevator!) An infection mode was added so you could get infected and eventually die only to rise again (not unlike No More Room In Hell, the Source game). They created some new weapons to be used, some maps were just a playground, others were focused on pure survival horror. Like a NOTLD map with doorways and windows that could be barricaded. Lots of fun. The effort put into the multiplayer maps really made the game shine, been years since i played it but i spent quite a good chunk of time with LOTD back in ca 2005-2007! Its a chunky game, i mean that in both good and bad ways, it does stand out to me for being the first proper "Romero zombie" game and it left a small legacy due to that. To see it added to GOG is not an absolute must, but more of a "nice to have", worse games do exist.
Is this game a masterpiece, no, it has flaws, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it because I used to play it all the time when I was a kid and I would really like to play it again. I really hope this gets added to GOG.

As one of the OG fps zombie games, and an official Romero tie-in, this was like a fever dream when it came out. I was hooked. I really hope you preserve this great game in all it's glory!!
I played it on Xbox as a kid and absolutely loved this game. I would buy it today so I could relive it now as an adult. Please bring this to GOG, we need more game preservation like this. These kind of games are hidden gems in their own right.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.

Manhunt
ManhuntManhunt is a third-person stealth horror game. The game consists of twenty levels, and four bonus levels that can be unlocked; the levels are referred to as "scenes". Players survive the Scenes by dispatching enemy gang members known as "Hunters", occasionally with firearms but primarily by stealthily executing them in gruesome, over-the-top ways. The player is rated at the end of each level, primarily dependent on the gruesomeness of the killings and the speed of completion, from one (unimpressive) to five (extremely competent) stars. Executions are preferred in order to gain a higher score, thus encouraging players to play as viscerally as possible. The game's locales are full of "dark spots" and shadows where the player can hide while being chased by the Hunters; hiding in these dark areas makes the player invisible to opponents.

Crimson Skies
Crimson SkiesThe series is set within an alternate history of the 1930s invented by Weisman and McCoy. Within this divergent timeline, the United States has collapsed, and air travel has become the most popular mode of transportation in North America; as a result, air pirates thrive in the world of Crimson Skies. In describing the concept of Crimson Skies, Jordan Weisman stated he wanted to "take the idea of 16th century Caribbean piracy and translate into a 1930s American setting."
