This was my first truly open world game and also realistic enough. I enjoyed every aspect of it. I would love a lot to see it in the GOG list to replay it nowadays. It would be great!

Adored free roaming in the demo as a kid. Never had the chance to get the full game. There's something about the graphics that are immersive even when details are quite simplistic.

At the time this game was so buggy it lagged on any PC. Still this was and is one of the best open world war sims I have played. The mission where you have to make a run for it and just survive was very immersive and also realistic. At the time OPF had a great mod community too.
This game is already on GoG. It's ArmA Cold War Assault. You can already get it and it's complete with Resistance. I guess you have to hunt down Red Hammer, but that's not hard.

The father of all tactical shooters. The undisputed king. Graphics and gameplay freedom were almost impossible at the time. It has a special place in my heart from the first moment I played it to its release. My best game ever for me. Sacred

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.

SimFarm
SimFarmSimFarm was developed by Maxis as a spinoff of SimCity, and allowed the player to simulate the running of a farm. It was released in 1993 for PC Dos, and was released a year later for Macintosh. It has become a classic, and began the subsequent development of the farm simulation subgenre, although Maxis did not make any sequel to the game in the way they have for SimCity.

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.

SiN Episodes
SiN EpisodesPlanned as an episodic sequel to SiN, set 4 years after the end of the game, only 1 of the planned 9 episodes were released. The episodes were going to be playable in any order with independent story segments, planned playtime of 4-6 hours, with an overarching story. Initially aiming for a development cycle of 4-6 months between releases, there was plans for changing future episodes depending on what players did in the previous ones. To do this, specific gameplay data was recorded and could be uploaded anonymously by players at any time. This information included gameplay options like the difficulty level, assistance level and use of cheats as well as stats like weapon specific kills, deaths per map, secrets found, completion time and highscores for those playing on Hardcorps mode. "SiN Episodes: Emergence launches the new era of episodic gaming. A first person shooter powered by Valve's award-winning Source technology, SiN Episodes offers unprecedented interactivity, an engrossing story, and a revolutionary dynamic difficulty system that provides a custom experience based on your skill level and play style."
