I remember a trial version of this being bundled with an old Vista PC my parents got. I'd love to see this game brought to GOG along with the other Polar Sports games. Technically, it's still available through WildTangent. But I'd prefer to have a DRM-free version of this on GOG rather than have to deal with a shady launcher.
This game, along with FATE were my 2 favorite games I could never play as a child. It cost money to play the WildTangent games, but you could occasionally get trial tokens and I didn't understand how cookies worked at the time. But those very occasional trial tokens were my only way of playing those 2 games. FATE fortunately is on Steam, and they just made a remake which is also on consoles. I hope this game could remain downloadable from a reputable source so I don't have to worry about malware or crypto miners trying to relive my childhood.
Those games also need your vote!
Senran Kagura Peach Ball
Senran Kagura Peach BallSenran Kagura Peach Ball: Clothes shredding brawlers, rhythmic cooking contests, sunny water gun fights or massage therapy – what’s left for the student shinobi of Senran Kagura to do? Well, there’s always pinball! However, Haruka’s “experiments”, conveniently located in the local arcade, have once again caused havoc for the girls. This time her concoction has mentally turned some of her fellow shinobi into animals and the only way to reverse the effects is by using the mystical Peach Ball, which just so happens to fit perfectly in a pinball machine. Plunge into this new adventure and flip, bump, spin, or ricochet the Peach Ball onto the confused shinobi to return them to their normal selves. With customizable tables, special minigames, a story mode, and fan-favorite additional modes including diorama mode and the dressing room, Senran Kagura Peach Ball is set to be one of the hottest pinball games yet.
