This is a game I liked to play very much as a kid. I actually still have two copies of this game on CD-Roms and have gotten it to work somewhat good on win11. Some game crashes still happen from time to time. Would love to see this game on GOG. I would say this is the best merc game I have ever played.

I remember playing this as a child and being completely hooked by it. The mission where you have to infiltrate a submarine base in the Arctic was really unforgettable for me. The game was a really challenging tactical game, which made it really fun for me when I was a kid. I'd love to get it on GOG so I can experience it again, because I have lost my CD copy.
This game was very memorable to me as a kid, I loved Commandos back in the day and this one had good 3D visuals, an economy system where we could set loadouts and even hire characters before going in.

I remember very well how I got the title for Christmas from the monthly magazine Cool Games published in Poland. I immediately sat down and ordered my mercenaries what to do in dangerous missions in Angola
this game is so special to me, i had tons of fun as a kid playing this, please bring this game back!!!! The dramatic music! The characters were so unique, the weapons, they loadout system etc!
Ich habe es damals als Teenager in einer PC Games gefunden, und gesüchtet. Bin schon seit einigen Jahren auf der Suche danach weil ich es einfach für ein cooles Spielkonzept halte und es wieder spielen möchte.
Those games also need your vote!

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.
