Things I love about the game are;
unlockable volley ball game, unlockable joke characters like Gon that can fart attack, the music and ending cinematics for each character
The greatest Tekken ever, imo. Unavailable on the Playstation store for some reason, despite being a Playstation 1 exclusive. I loved this game back when it was released in the 90's and would love to see it on GOG, as well as Tekken 1 and 2.
This game is one of the most important games of the late 1990s, spurring on a continued prosperity and unprecedented advancement in the 3D Fighting Game genre that we can still feel to this day. As of 2025, it is the 5th best selling game on the entire PlayStation 1 console, beating out similarly revolutionary titles such as Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil 2, and almost any gamer or game developer around at the time will be able to fondly recount its long-lasting effect on them almost 3 decades after its initial release.
Despite this though, Tekken 3 remains legally unavailable on modern consoles and PC, with its latest release being as part of the now outdated PlayStation Classic in 2018, a system that lacks any kind of online support whatsoever. This is especially troublesome for Tekken 3, as it being a Fighting Game means that multiplayer is one of its main draws, and the complete inability to access this game's main driving force without either a person to physically be next to you in a time where the world is becoming increasingly online focused, or the use of dubious unofficial emulation condemned by a large portion of the Japanese game development space is concerning for the future of this period-defining game.
A re-release of this game spearheaded by GOG, preferably with the addition of at least competent rollback netcode for smooth online play, would allow Tekken 3 to live on forever on our modern hardware instead of being relegated to an over 30 year old console that, although is in great abundance right now, is gradually becoming more and more inaccessible by the day.
This is a game that truly deserves to be brought back to modern audience. This was my first Tekken game I played back in the early 2000's. There is no better Tekken games like Tekken 3. The characters, the story and the music are all great.

KaratekaKarateka is a 1984 beat'em up video game by Jordan Mechner, and was his first game created while attending Yale University. It was originally programmed for the Apple II, and was later ported to several other home computers and early gaming consoles. The game was published in North America by Brøderbund, and in Europe by Ariolasoft.
The player controls an unnamed protagonist who is attempting to rescue his love interest, the Princess Mariko, from Akuma's castle fortress. The game exhibits a combination of a side-scrolling platform and fighting game elements. The player uses punches and kicks to defeat Akuma and his guards and make his way deeper into the fortress. The game, as with most at the time of development, lacked checkpoints or the ability to save the game, making it a challenge to complete in a single sitting.
Karateka has been well-received, particularly for its realistic animations used for the game's characters. The game was considered a breakthrough success for Mechner, and would eventually result in his development of the Prince of Persia franchise. A high-definition remake, spearheaded by Mechner, was released as a downloadable title for the Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, with planned ports for the iOS and Wii U systems.Action
Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC.
Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness.
To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests.
After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction

Unlike the original arcade and Playstation port, it features hand drawn 2D sprites in a style similar to the Street Fighter Alpha series. In fact, many portions of the sprites look as if they may have taken Alpha sprites and altered them heavily to appear as original creations.
