Nocturne is Terminal Reality's first foray into gothic horror and a fantastic one at that, the game has a interesting world, story and characters along with a solid atmosphere. It was also the precursor to the widely known and underrated BloodRayne game series. It's hard to get running on modern hardware, and making it accessible would a great win for preservation and keeping TRI's memory alive!

This one should get a remake. I remember buying the game in my Canadian Tire store to ship it to a friend in France because it was unavailable there. Best old game I played.

THE GAME LOOKS SO COOL but i tried to download it and get a patch and it literally wouldn't launch also i think it's important to preserve lesser known games like these and make them easily accessible for the general PC gaming audience and all that jazz

This game did things way ahead of time, the cloth physics alone was one of the reasons the specs needed were high back in the day. Four chapters with their own story, dark and spooky environments and many strange and dangerous creatures to fight.
This is the first game I played that I had to upgrade my video card for just to get the lasers to look as awesome as they were, has a great story and matching soundtrack. If it was not for this game we would not have had "Bloodrayne" games and the gawd awful movies. This game should be a lot higher on the list I would love to play it again.

Found this game in a bin at EB games like 20 years ago. I fell in love with it instantly. It BLEEDS charm and character. At the time the game was quite technically impressive and I think its aged pretty well. It would be great if a new generation of gamers could get a chance to take this classic out for a spin!

I almost lost sleep while waiting for the game to be available back then. Now I may lose some sleeps waiting again. Bring It Back! Like others say this game deserves a remake.
My dad bought me my 1st PC along with Nocturne for Christmas(I was 25 at the time). Coming from consoles I'd never played 'a real game before' and Nocturne blew me away. I didn't realize games could look this good, sound this good or have the atmosphere this did. I didn't realize they could be this difficult either. Having separate stories was pure genius. A remake(done properly) would fly off the shelves, failing that making this playable today would still be a work of art
Started off playing BloodRayne and wanted to learn more about the series. Found out that it started with Nocturne. Just like BloodRayne it has love and care put into it and contains a good mature story too. The characters and world is also great to explore and get a idea of what it's like being in it. Even has real time wind physics for clothes and other great features before others had it. Definitely deserves a remaster and possibly a remake if they can find someone with the same voice as stranger and the others especially the stranger. Nocturne 2 should have happened but we never got that because of the rights expiring. This is definitely one of the game that needs to be preserves. Blair Witch should also be preserved too. If not all of it then preserve Blair Witch Volume 1 Rustin Parr since it's pretty much a story expansion of Nocturne.

The game was the first horror survival game I played, and I never played the full game. I got a cd full of demos from a magazine which i shared with a friend because I didn't own a PC, my family was too poor at the time to buy a PC for me and my brothers. But it didn't matter, I shared many great memories with my buddy playing this game and many other demos. It is a great game that I think was the predecessor to games like BloodRayne. And it is great to save this game and make it affordable and available to everyone. At the moment, only available on abandonware websites.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.
