One of the most creative and beautiful (art and sound wise) games I've ever seen. It's a tragedy that it didn't reach its deserved success, and now is the chance to bring it to new fans. I first played it in 2023 and it captured my attention more than many more modern RPGs, western or eastern. Yes, it can be emulated, but a GOG release would be free of any possible emulation bugs and it would signal to SEGA that fans would like a return to the world of the series.

a game that now costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars just to get a possibly faulty or scratched copy on a system that is known to not live for long, please bring this back i wanna pay money to have this game, but the right way
The greatest JRPG I have ever played. A total masterpiece that’s lost to time with no way to legally play it. Even if all they did was put the roms in an emulator that would at least be SOMETHING
Honestly, I've never had the chance to experience this game. It's been one I've had a deep interest in for a while now and want to actually have the opportunity to experience what makes it so special to those who have played it and grown up with it.
Of all games on the planet Earth, Panzer Dragoon RPG deserves a remaster. It is more innovative than FF7 and is as of now a lost piece of media. SEGA, GoG, please, revive this classic masterpiece.

Sega please do a remake or remastered of this masterpiece.. One of the best games on the Sega Saturn. How is it possible that there isn't a sequel or a remake? I'm Italian and I bought this game in the Japanese version on my old Sega Saturn.. and although I didn't understand it at all.. I finished it twice! I loved the gameplay and the music.. the monsters.. the dragon's special moves.. What a game.. It was a three disc game.. Sega please save this masterpiece, or make a sequel with the same mechanics as this Panzer Dragon

One of several SEGA classics that has not been properly preserved, and probably the most infamous one. An extremely acclaimed RPG and one of the most highly praised games on the Saturn, but there's been no way to legally play it on any platform since the original release in 1998. This one should be high priority.
One of the games that shaped my childhood, after going back and trying to find a physical copy of this groundbreaking Sega Saturn game, I was horrified to see it sells for over 500 pounds. I never should have sold it, especially for the small price it went for. Its story is unmatched by even modern day rpgs, It defines the word epic.
This game is a masterpiece and I'd love it more people could play it without spending hundreds of dollars. I played it on the Saturn upon release and why Sega hasn't made this game more widely available is beyond me. It's imperative that this game be preserved and exposed to a whole new generation.
The Sega Saturn was such an underrated console. This game is arguably the best game to come out of the Saturn and yet, no re releases were made for this game. It needs to be preserved as original copies of this game go up as high as 2000 bucks on eBay.
Those games also need your vote!

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.

Dungeon Master
Dungeon MasterDungeon Master established several new standards for role playing and computer games in general. Dungeon Master was a realtime game instead of the traditional turn-based approach that was prevalent until then. Instead of using text-based commands to interact with the environment, players directly manipulated objects and the environment by clicking the mouse in the enlarged first-person view. Abstract Dungeons and Dragons style experience points and levels were eschewed in favor of a system where the characters' skills were improved directly via using them. It also introduced some novel control methods including the spell casting system, which involved learning sequences of runes which represented the form and function of a spell's effect. For example, a fireball spell was created by mixing the fire symbol with the wing symbol. This kind of attention to detail and focus on the user interface was typical of the game and helped create an often captivating sense of craft and ingenuity. Other factors in immersiveness were the then-revolutionary use of sound effects to indicate when a creature was nearby, and (primitive) dynamic lighting.
