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

These scroll from right to left on the Japanese version and left to right on all other versions. Several bonuses can be collected including three weapons (Rami can also bounce on the heads of enemies to defeat them): A large mallet, used only for hitting enemies An umbrella, used to hit enemies, float and deflect overhead obstacles A bow, used to shoot arrows at enemies. Besides the platformer and shoot-'em-up stages, there is vertically scrolling special stages, an underwater stage and a rollercoaster stage, making the game a multi-genre platformer. Points spheres can be collected throughout the game. A reward system accessed from the main menu unlocked helpful hints and behind-the-scenes extras depending on the highest and lowest scores achieved through playing.
