Countless hours spent on Oregon Trail II! Fun voice acting and music, perilous moments (ford the river? caulk the wagons and float?), incredibly scary "DUN-DUN!" sound effects when something dangerous happens; traveling music that changes depending on whether you're doing well or poor, and every playthrough feels different. The game's FMVs don't play correctly on modern machines, so this clearly needs the GOG touch to bring it to a modern audience. It's a perfect edutainment game for kids, too. I learned a lot about the old West thanks to this game.
My kids and I played this game a LOT 20-25 years ago, when they were in grade school. We had a copy of the strategy guide, too. I loved how you had a choice of 4 different routes on which to travel, with multiple possible "cutoffs" for portions of each route. I would usually play as a Pharmacist, and stock up on all of the possible medications in the starting town, as those comprised a minute part of the wagon's cargo. I would feel much more comfortable owning a legit download of this game from GOG, rather than a free-but-sketchy download from an abandonware site.
This is, bar none, the best Oregon Trail game I have ever played. I've been enjoying the recent adaptation that came out a few years ago, but Oregon Trail II will always have a special place in my heart. With the different levels of challenge, numerous potential choices for treating illness and injuries, a guidebook to give you in-universe hints as to how to survive the various challenges, and a diary function so you could make up your own stories, it made for quite the absorbing experience. I played it over and over again when I was a kid, and it would be a delight to be able to play it again.
Amazing soundtrack that I still listen to. Gorgeous pictures when traveling on the map. The little details made the game world come to life. I read every page in the in-game guide, and I still think of this game.

The art direction is the same cel-shaded style as the Wind Waker but is displayed from a classic top-down perspective.

The touch screen is used to make Link move and attack instead of buttons, you can also make notes of secret treasures and items on the map simply by writing them down.

Rance 4.2: Angel ArmyRance 4.1 and Rance 4.2 are two parts of the same storyline, and use the same mechanics and artstyle. Part of the game involves navigating the Happiness Pharmaceutical office and Romance Park, speaking with people, and investigating the surroundings through an adventure game menu.
The other part is a dungeon-crawler taking place in the Angel Army secret underground base. Within the base, there are specific rooms where the player can interact with the environment, use healing items, and load/save. The rooms are connected to each other by thin routes, where the only available actions are "Advance" and "Retreat", to take a step forwards or backward. (Most routes are about 3-5 steps long). These paths are the spots where random encounters can occur. When the game starts, the base is unmapped, and paths are marked on menus as "???". Each time the player crosses a path and enters a new room, Athena 2.0 will draw the room on the map (with a short dialogue among the party Rance about how to name and illustrate it; sometimes giving comical or non-indicative names). If Athena is not present, Rance will try to draw the map himself. The "???" option will change to reflect the room name. Some paths are hidden or trapped, and can only be crossed later in the game.Erotic
