Story:Sonic Heroes is an adventure and multiplatform video game in the Sonic The Hedgehog series, developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA for the Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox and Microsoft Windows PCs.
The player races a team of series characters through levels to amass rings, defeat robots, and collect the seven Chaos Emeralds needed to defeat Doctor Eggman. This game differs from other Sonic games by allowing the player to take control of one of four teams, each with three characters, who each have unique abilities to use. The game received mixed reviews from critics but it performed commercially well, becoming a million-seller and making the best-selling lists for all three of its original platforms.

Sonic Heroes is a game that I have nothing but fond memories of, with hours spent replaying the different team stories, trying to do the special stages to collect all the Chaos Emeralds, etc. It has one of the largest rosters of characters in the series; I already had played a Sonic title prior to this and knew of some characters already, but it introduced me to characters I'd never known, such as the Chaotix (this was one of the only main series titles they're playable in!)
It's a somewhat mixed experience, I can't deny how rough it is around the edges; it's buggy, the story is basic as hell and the writing at times cheesy, completing the game is a total drag to be honest given you need to beat the game at least four times, one with each team, to actually do the final boss. But even having gone back to it more recently and seeing the issues with it, it brought me back to a time where I was lost in the fun I was having.
This game hasn't been available to purchase and play now for nearly 20 years, as it was only ever released for PS2, GameCube, Xbox and PC through retail discs, and was never released digitally on any platform. I love to go back to and play it, but many of those consoles of the era don't work as well anymore or are hard to come by, and PCs rarely support discs anymore. I loved going back to play it, but with time it's become harder for many to do so; the GameCube I used when replaying it more recently does not even work anymore. If this game came to GOG, it would finally be accessible again to many for years to come, something I'm surprised it isn't already, being a title in what was and still is such a popular series.
Very first sonic game I got to play for myself, even if it was the jankiest sonic game out there (PS2 version)
I mostly Played it by myself, but a bit of multiplayer was magic.
Loved how different it was from the rest of the sonic gamemodes, while being one mostly coherent style even in chaotix
I really want this on GoG because a PC version ALREADY EXISTS, BUT ISN'T AVAILABLE OFFICALLY ANYMORE! Not to mention, even when you finally setup the weird dvd the game is made in a very old way, and can be a pain to use with modern controllers.
The PC port of Heroes was my very first introduction to the overall Sonic franchise as a whole,
and thus it has a very special spot in my heart forever. Still, getting that said PC port to run on modern 64-bit PCs is definitely a haggle not worth going through.
That's why i do hope to see the day this game gets added here on GOG with just enough tweaks and necessary custom wrappers to make it actually run on modern PCs.
Sonic Heroes is one of the few Dreamcast era Sonic titles, alongside Shadow the Hedgehog, that hasn't had a proper PC release. Sure, Sonic Heroes DID get a PC version but that never released on Steam.
It's an enjoyable, if flawed, 3D platformer that does some unique things with the three-playable-characters-at-once mechanic. And it adapts the more colorful, out there ideas you would see in the Classic era Sonic's into the 3D realm.
I loved it growing up and I would be super happy to see this get a modern PC release in the future.
Even though it's a flawed game, this is a childhood game of mine back on my OG Xbox. It also has a PC port...but isn't available anywhere??? Strange! Especially when future Sonic games reference it all the time. Preserve the game, y'all!!
It's been many years since I played this game and I sadly departed with my PS2 copy hoping I could make some money off of it... boy do I regret it, although the PS2 version is infamously the worst version of the game. All that aside, I'm shocked there hasn't been an official rerelease of this game. It may be a mess, but it's a lovable mess! I didn't know for the longest time until a friend told me that there was a secret final boss only unlocked by playing all the routes and getting the chaos emeralds, and this is the biggest reason I played team Rose so much, just to get to the chaos emeralds faster... ahh memories.
Sonic Heroes, for as flawed as it is, was one of the first video games I ever played and cherish it to this day. I would really love for the PC version to be brought out of the ether to make it more readily available while also making modding it easier as well. I understand there might be issues getting it greenlit likely due to the engine it uses no longer being utilized in today's market, so the copyright surrounding it is sketchy, but I really want this to happen. I love Heroes so much. Oh and proper dual-audio and multilingual support would be a huuuge plus.
If I remember correctly Sonic Heroes demo might have been first game I installed by myself back in the day. I also remember how buggy the full game was when I finally bought it (The weird texture color bug on the final boss is a core memory). But the game was still fun and with some mods and tweaks it could be a really great experience!

Mega Lo Mania & First SamuraiThe collapse of Robert Maxwell's Mirrorsoft empire in late 1991 had disasterous effects on the UK computer games market, as the Mirrorsoft and Imageworks labels published some great games not long beforehand. UbiSoft stepped in to buy the rights to these two, and issued them as a great-value double pack.
Mega Lo Mania was an original strategy game with an evolutionary theme and distinct humour, as you battled with 3 other would-be Gods for control of 27 territories before facing the final Mother of All Battles.
First Samurai was an arcade adventure set in medieval Japan, with your character aiming to avenge the killing of his master.Historical 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the 10th sequel of the Legend of Zelda action-adventure series. It's the first game of the series to be set on a group of islands in the sea. Therefore, many of Link's actions base on sailing and travelling from island to island, making a baton for controlling the wind the key item of the game.
Wind Waker is the first game of the Series with a cel-shaded graphic style. Since fans expected a Zelda game with realistic graphics like being shown at the Space World in 2000, the cel-shading look was critisized and discussed controversial for being too cartoonish.Action Fantasy
