One of the best adventure games based on time travel. The many ways it lets you play with cause-and-effect relationships were fun, deep, and brilliant. I spent so many hours unlocking every single outcome of each chapter. It deserves a chance to be rediscovered. The people who played it back then all share fond memories of this game.
A game I owned but unfortunately it never worked on my PS2- I was so sad I couldn't play it because it looks so interesting! I really hope we can get a chance to have this released on here. So grateful for the community on here and the possibility of this being on GOG.

Shadow of Memories/ Shadow of Destiny is the first game I played where I really felt like my actions really made a difference! The premise of using time-travel to prevent your own death is compelling alone, but there's more than just a time-travel gimmick! The joy comes from the exploration within the games fictional German setting, the unique characters you meet along the way and the compelling murder-mystery narrative! The good news is it isn't a long game either! It can easily be beaten within 5 hours but seeking out each ending is encouraged! I really hope Shadow of Memories/Shadow of Destiny gets another chance to be available - Please help use by voting on Gog's Dreamlist!
A hidden gem, comfy and atmospheric. I played this game when i was 9. I never forgot about it. Every now and then i watch a walkthrough, just to get the chills.

I recently Lucked out and boght this master piece on PC. Mario Mario's Voice is AMAZING it is crazy what he went on to later but this game was so fun its a great game with flaws but a time travel story without those are impossible.
When of the most ambitious release titles on a console imo. Storyline amazing. Gameplay very unique. Some of the scenes and endings are amazing and the voice acting is fantastic. This needs a re release

Timeless classic... get it? But yeah I loved this game playing it on my ps2 a few years ago. I'd love if more people got to experience it. I feel like it deserves more recognition amongs the wider general audiences
Bizarre but very beautiful game of its time for a 2002 game, some time traveling concept murder mystery to stop your death, very ambitious and creative and just one of a kind of a game that we don't get as much anymore, solid voice acting and different gameplay, it stands out and is very storytelling focused, i just can never forget about it, it deserves its flowers and to be brought back, i believe GOG was made to revive games like this, it's highly overlooked and slept on, if someone this gets revisited it would be highly beloved today as classic PS2 game.
I finished this game multiple times on PC. The audio was worse but hey, at least Konami already ported it 20 years ago. Hope this gets remastered soon! The gameplay and the story is so unique!

I remember playing this game on the PS2 and loving it - trying to get all the different endings was a real challenge, but I enjoyed the way the story paid off. Would love to buy it again!

The Lost Vikings
The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay. The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings. In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available. Character abilities: All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities: Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet. Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance. Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.

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.
