This has been my very first "proper/main game" Civilization, coming from Civilization Revolution on the Xbox 360. This introduced me to the very rich strategy game and I'd love to have this game permanently preserved along with its predecessors (III and IV already being on GOG). The broad choice in characters and nations, the snappy gameplay, the absolute power of the end-game weapons and of course Gandhi making its appearance.
I remember watching my dad play "Civ3", but this ("Civ5") was my first "Civ" game. And I believe it's the last of the "Civ" games, because every next game has turned away from being "Civ" and trying to copy a lot of other games (and I think that the quality has decreased)
My favorite history themed chess game
Among my top 5 games of all time I play regularly. Only reason wanting it from gog is the value of genuinely owning it and escaping DRM issues of the future. GimmegimmegimmeGoG!

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the RosesLoosely based on historical events that took place in England in the 15th century, known as the Wars of the Roses (a battle for power between the houses of Lancaster and York), Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses sees the heroes of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and card game series, Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba, assume the identity of the head of the Lancaster house (Red Rose, later the Tudor dynasty), Henry Tudor, and the leader of the Yorkist faction (White Rose), Christian Rosenkreuz, respectively. The player controls a Rose Duelist, who is initially sent by Henry Tudor (Yugi) and the Lancastrians to Stonehenge, with the mission of disrupting a barrier imposed by the White Rose forces. However, Rosenkreuz (Seto) arrives and offers the hero to side with the Yorkists. From that point on, the player can choose to follow either the Red or the White Rose, in two different scenarios.
