A truly preserved and modern version of this game would mean online play with rollback netcode and all of the guest characters, but rollback will be a challenge to implement, and Nintendo won't play nice and allow Link to be on other platforms. Still, it would be great to see the other two characters and maybe a model swap for Link. Even if there's no rollback, the offline version of the game deserves to be preserved on PC too. This was THE fighting game that everyone in my middle school and high school was playing when they weren't playing Melee. It's easy to learn and difficult to master, and the series really perfected most of what made it great all the way back with this second entry.

If GOG is going to add another 1v1 fighting game it should be this one, because it has tons of content and as far as I can remember it was well balanced. mind you there is character creation, and the OG game didn't have online multiplayer hence I don't know firsthand what it was like but other than that it is gorgeous in its visuals and soundtrack!

Mace: The Dark Age
Mace: The Dark AgeMace: The Dark Age is a fighting video game released by Atari for arcade machines in 1997 and ported by Midway to the Nintendo 64 in 1997. The game is similar to Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. and the Mortal Kombat series. Like in Mortal Kombat, when a character wins both rounds, they can perform an execution move on the enemy. Methods included severing an opponent's limbs and torso (Al Rashid), beheading (The Executioner), repeated stabbing (Koyasha), impaling the opponent with a sword (Lord Deimos), breaking an opponent's back by hoisting them on top of a Viking helmet and throwing them to the ground, causing their body to explode (Ragnar), and some more far-fetched methods including pulling out an opponent's heart (Xiao Long), shrinking (Namira), transforming the opponent into a chicken (Taria), and entering an opponent's body and bursting them from inside (Dregan). Note: Heavily borrowing from the arcade game Soul Edge (1995)--first of the Souls Series. Which borrowed heavily from the framework WeaponLord (1995) laid out. Visual Concepts (developers of WeaponLord) would send builds of the game to Namco (the publisher of WeaponLord) to playtest.
