Story:Unreal Tournament is a first-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. The second installment in the Unreal series, it was first published by GT Interactive in 1999 for Microsoft Windows, and later released on the PlayStation 2 by Infogrames, and on the Dreamcast by Secret Level. Players compete in a series of matches of various types, with the general aim of out-killing opponents. The PC version supports multiplayer online or over a local area network. Free expansion packs were released, some of which were bundled with a 2000 re-release: Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition. The game is based on the same technology that powered Unreal, but the design of Unreal Tournament shifted the series' focus to competitive multiplayer action. Development took 18 months, and the game was initially intended to be an expansion for Unreal. Unreal Tournament received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the graphics, artificial intelligence and gameplay, although the console ports were noted for having limitations. The game won several awards, and remakes have been attempted by fans. The series has continued with the releases of sequels Unreal Tournament 2003 in 2002, Unreal Tournament 2004 in 2004, and Unreal Tournament 3 in 2007.Show more

It's a damn shame this was removed from gog. Unreal Tournament is often sighted as being one of the best multiplayer game of all time but what it really is; is a single player game that simulates the perfect online experience. It does this with it's truly amazing bot AI. Please bring this one back Epic it's your legacy.

The Flak Cannon became an extension of my gaming reflexes, teaching me the art of prediction and spatial awareness in ways that shaped how I approach every game since. Keep UT alive ❤️

I modded the flak cannon to shoot Boids for a school project. I modded the redeemer to home after players for fun. I can still feel the Deck16 soundtrack in my veins when I close my eyes. I dream about Facing Worlds. We used to live and breathe Unreal Tournament, and while those days can never return, Unreal Tournament can.

A great game which, with the GOTY content (including extra maps, wepaons and 'relics'), provided many hours of enjoyment - I always remember finishing the single-player campaign for the first time (on the third-hardest setting IIRC) , would like to see it in its full form

We played endless LAN parties on this game and had incredible times! I can still hear the "monster kill" announcement. It's a great way to kick each other's butt and there are many graphical improvement mods out there that are really easy to use that polish the game up to modern standards. It's ultra smooth, ultra fast and highly visceral gameplay which most modern games fail to match. Especially when you amp up the giblets! :D

Bought years ago before it was delisted. It was the first online game I ever played. Of course, I was terrible. But the community of players were so nice about it and even gave me some tips to improve. This needs to Come back so more people can experience that.
The battles of Unreal Tournament are fast and frenetic you often have to have eyes in the back of your head, and/or on a swivel to watch out for sneak attacks. The games also highly modable with so much custom community content available. It's a pity it was removed from GOG it would work really well with modern systems, if the graphics engine proves a problem it could be updated to work with newer DirectX versions or paired with dxvk. While working with the dxvk project to help keep the game and the wrapper updated by opening issues and contributing code. Including testing dxvk against games in the GOG Good Old Games program. I once found a map for this game where the traps were as deadly and tricky as the players themselves. Epic Games please enable GOG to preserve this game for the future as this is your legacy, as well as one of your main masterpiece titles which started the Unreal Tournament legacy. It also started the Unreal Engine technologies, please bring this title back on GOG!
"Head Shot" My second favorite announcement after "Monster Kill". If I set the AI to auto adjust the computer players I would end up with them all on God and impossible to hit. I've got a disk full of mods and custom files waiting to be installed. Probably spent months playing this game if it was all added up. The later Unreal Tournament versions never measured up to this one
Those games also need your vote!

Transformers: Cybertron Adventures
Transformers: Cybertron AdventuresTransformers: Cybertron Adventures features separate campaigns for the Autobots and Decepticons, but instead of being a third person shooter like War for Cybertron, this game is a rail shooter, utilizing a gameplay similar to Time Crisis series. Players must defeat a group of enemies in one area from a cover point. After all enemies are defeated, the character will move along a pre-defined path to another area, and so on. Occasionally during gameplay the character will transform into vehicle, and the player must control them to reach one point, destroying obstacles on the way. Offline co-op is also featured. The game delivers only 6 levels and a couple challenges.

Transformers: Mystery of Comvoy
Transformers: Mystery of ComvoyTransformers: Mystery of Comvoy (Transformers: Convoy no Nazo) is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer developed by ISCO and published by TAKARA for the Nintendo Entertainment System (in Japan only) on Decmber 5, 1986. Set in the first-generation Transformers universe, players control Autobot Ultra Magnus as he storms through various Decepticon strongholds to find the whereabouts of Autobot leader Convoy (known worldwide as Optimus Prime). Convoy no Nazo consists of nine stages, each ending in a boss battle. Players can move and shoot as well as transform into a more maneuverable vehicle mode. The game is so difficult, most players do not usually pass the first stage. The 9th stage is a maze which, if not completed in precisely the right way, will infinitely loop. Warp Zones can be found by locating Bumblebee in some levels.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 2142Having placed their previous online shooters in WWII, the Vietnam War, and modern day settings, Battlefield 2142 took place in a future where a new ice age had thrown the world into a panic. The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth’s population, and players choose to fight for one of two military super powers in an epic battle for survival: The European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition. Introducing a futuristic art style, science fiction weaponry, and the asymmetric game mode Titan, Battlefield 2142 still has a hardcore following that doesn’t want to leave the future behind.
