Story:Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In (released in Europe as simply Project I.G.I.) is a tactical first-person shooter developed by Innerloop Studios and released on December 15, 2000 by Eidos Interactive. It is one of the first computer games to feature realistic weaponry and tactical combat situations. Pursue and defeat a homicidal ex-Russian Colonel before she turns Europe into a nuclear wasteland in Project IGI: I'm Going In. This first-person shooter emphasizes stealth and guile instead of massive firepower. Jones has to sneak into the toughest military installations in Eastern Europe, and once inside, use his skills in thievery, computer hacking, sabotage, and reconnaissance to stop the madwoman. The enemy's Artificial Intelligence will react to his every action and use military tactics to track his position. In order to counter its surveillance, bunkers, tanks, and gunships, Jones is equipped with NATO spy gear and assault weapons. If the odds get stacked too high against him, he can call in a napalm strike via his Map Computer. Upon release the game garnered mixed reviews due to a number of shortcomings, such as poorly programmed Artificial intelligence, lack of a mid-game save option, and the lack of multiplayer features. However it was praised for its superb sound design and graphics, thanks in part to its use of a proprietary game engine that was previously used in Innerloop's Joint Strike Fighter. It was followed up in 2003 by I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike.Show more

It was my favorite game from my childhood. In every corner at this game i felt like i was there before, in a dream or something. But when i grown up - i couldn't find it anymore. I don't want to download illegal copies, use "No CD" patches etc. I just want my favorite game back.

Project I.G.I. was so innovative for its time ! One of the first, if not the first FPS game, to offer so much liberty in large open maps and close close sensations of being an agent going behind enemy lines, trying either to be stealthy or to go full guns blazing. The game was hard and had no save system but this was all part of the fun, it pushed us to surpass ourselves and learn every part of the map to get to the end of the mission. It was one of the games opening the era of great tactical games back then, it needs to be preserved !

I wrote a big 1000 character post about this but the page error'd out and deleted it when I hit share so I'll keep this brief. I never really got along with my dad, but one day he brought this game home and we just sat and played for hours at a time, I value my memories of this game as one of the few times me and my father really connected and weren't arguing about something. It's a foundational memory for me and something that will stick with me forever, the fact that right now this game is essentially lost to time is disappointing to say the least. But this program is a fantastic chance to bring it back. I wont lie to you and say it will sell a billion copies, but for the fans of this game, nothing comes close. It would be incredible to have this back in my life.

I have searched a lot on the Internet and in the GOG Store for this game I have been frustrated for not being available to download it in a legal and safe way from the most beautiful games that I enjoyed playing in my childhood. She has a special atmosphere.
Playing the game with cousins during out childhood while sneaking throught enemy base was always fun and an adrenaline rush in our childhood . Love the game a lot

Not only does Project IGI have beautiful visuals (shared with the Joint Strike Fighter engine), the soundtrack is also very fitting (and still on my phone to listen to!) - it's certainly not the all-time best spy action game for everyone, but it has a special place in my heart since childhood. Oh, and yes, you can reach the end of the game world after like 3-4 hours of walking.

I remember like it was yesterday, I was vising my cousin who had a PC (my family didn't own one at the time), it was Christmas 2002 or 2003, and he showed me this game. It was incredible, looked and sounded great, had great atmosphere (still remember a map when there was constant rain) and seemed so realistic. I would love to be able to play it again on modern hardware.

One of the first game I've ever played on my Second Hand PC. Still remember the time when I found it randomly while going through start and it only had a folder icon but not game icon. I dont even know if I completed it or not because all I could see were only 3 levels in game. I never found out if there was more to the game after those 3. Then I moved on to other games like Prince of Persia Trilogy and Halo.
I've never forgotten the game my older brother had on his computer when he was still living alone, so it would be a huge treat to play it again. It makes me feel like a real agent, whether I want to do my best to sneak around the lanes or I just want to fight loose.
Those games also need your vote!

Touhou Kaeizuka: Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Touhou Kaeizuka: Phantasmagoria of Flower ViewThis game is a split-screen vertical danmaku shooting game where two characters engage in the normal Touhou-esque gameplay, while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player, similar to that of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. When a player gets hit enough times to lose all their hit points, they are defeated. The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the netplay patch, multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.

Twisted Metal: Black Online
Twisted Metal: Black OnlineFirst offered as a freebie in the United States with purchase of a PlayStation 2 Network Adapter for its initial release (and later included again for free as part of the Greatest Hits package for Twisted Metal: Black,) this online version of the hit car combat game features all of the cars and carnage of the original game across all 18 stages (including all full stages and mini-stages from the full game) of TM:B. The violent cinemas and story mode were excluded in this network-only version (partially to tone the ESRB rating down to a T), but the multiplayer modes for online play still include all four modes -- deathmatch, last man standing, collector, and manhunt -- and options for power relic modifiers can be turned on to twist this evil game out even more. Online play originally was limited to only 4 players (2 over 56k), and chat functionality was not included. However, via server fixes, the player count was upped to 8 online via broadband, and a chat function via USB keyboard/on-screen input was also made unlockable when a secret code is entered on the lobby screen.
