This game is my childhood 🥲 please GOG team bring it back.
Beautiful 2D action adventure,looks like jazz Jackrabbit or more like early versions of jazz games. Bring it back and I will buy it.
The Xargon Trilogy, is yet another of Epic's early shareware development and publishing deals, and one of their best.
Follow Malvineous Havershim as he investigates the mysterious ruins that transport him to another world, which he must travese to defeat the evil Xargon. Playing much like the Jill of the Jungle trilogy (which is here on GOG already), Xargon is an upgrade in pretty much every way, graphics, music and sound.
I picked up the floppy disk shareware version in a blister pack from an office supply store when i was young and was captivated by the strange creatures and bizzare worlds it sent me through, clambering through caves, forests, swamps and robotic facilities in a quest to destroy the first of Xargon's reactors. Being a shareware of that era, it would preview the last two episodes and i would see the curious creatures and strange landscapes i could not reach without the full edition which left me wanting more.
It was not until many years later that I finally got my hands on the full game and got to see Malvineous' journey to it's conclusion, destroying all of Xargon's reactors and defeating Xargon himself, finally freeing Malvineous from this strange world. It is definitely a solid and enjoyable experience all the way through and a game i look back on fondly, alongside many of the gaming gems produced during the golden age of shareware (some of which are already available on GOG - Jill of the Jungle, Bio Menace, Monster Bash, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, Blake Stone etc.) I still play it fairly often through good 'ol DOSBox and having played Epic's entire shareware back catalaog i can safely say that this is one of Epic's MS-DOS shareware classics and really should have been tracked down to fill out Epic's missing back catalogue on GOG long ago.
One of the first games I played as a kid, still thinking fondly about it over 20 years later. It's a weird sidescrolling platformer kind of game. It has some really charming graphics and whack sound effects and enemy designs that really stick with you. More people should play this game!
You can find it on various abandonware websites nowadays, but you also need to get dosbox and configure it to play, etc. I haven't played it in about a decade myself though... Would be neat if was available on GOG and "just worked" on modern operating systems!
Loved this game as a kid and would play through all three episodes for the sheer enjoyment of it. However, a step would need to be taken for episode 3's final level, as without the map that came with the instruction booklet, death awaits any player who doesn't get lucky and find the right door. Which is not a good thing given this game has a count of extra lives.

Power Stone 2is a multiplayer fighting game that built on the innovative gameplay introduced by its predecessor, Power Stone. Power Stone 2 allows up to four players to choose from multiple characters and utilize items such as tables, chairs, and rocks in battle.
There are four different modes available for the game
1-on-1: Much like the original Power Stone, a two-character storyline game.
Arcade: A four-character storyline game, with two characters advancing each round.
Original: Multiplayer mode, with free choice of characters and stages.
Adventure: An unpredictable storyline game, where players can collect items, cards and money.
Power Stone 2 offers five interactive 3-D stages to begin with, plus the two boss stages which players can also access in Original mode. All but the Original mode is played out like a storyline, where two battles are fought on the regular stages, followed by the Pharaoh Walker boss, then another battle, and ending with the Dr. Erode boss stage. Three extra stages may be unlocked for Original mode by meeting certain requirements in Arcade mode, as well as a desert area stage, which is essentially the Pharaoh Walker boss stage, but without the boss. Though each player has their own set of default ground and air attacks, the character can execute more powerful fusion attacks after collecting three Power Stones and transforming. Power Stone 2 does not offer an opportunity to block, although tapping on the control pad just before an enemy attacks will cause you to dodge.
Most of the stages are dynamic and will change as the battle progresses. For example, the airplane stage starts out on a warplane. After a set amount of time, the plane will fall apart, forcing all the players to battle while skydiving toward the ground. Shortly after, the players will fall onto a floating platform, where the remainder of the battle will be held. This, in essence, creates three sub-stages within a single one.
Each stage is also littered with item boxes, which hold a random item that a player has acquired and unlocked in Adventure mode or created in the Item Shop. They may also contain Power Stones. Items are extremely diverse. Damaging items range from guns, flamethrowers, gigantic hammers, a wide assortment of swords, to bear traps, roller blades, and even a magazine that can be thrown. Non-damaging items include food that will replenish health, shields for defense, elixirs for invisibility, adhesive sprays to slow your opponents, and wings for extra jumps. Cards that can be used to mix items can also be found in Adventure mode. Furthermore, most stages also have their own collection of unique items and fixtures that the player can use. For example, the submarine level comes with turrets, small planes to drop bombs, and icebergs to throw at opponents. Each level is also highly interactive, as players can use many of the stage elements themselves. All players can also gain extra height by jumping off a wall.Action
Bloody Roar 3Bloody Roar 3 pits 12 outlandish combatants against each other in one of the most ambitious 3D fighting games to grace the PlayStation 2. Returning from Hudson's widely acclaimed PS1 titles are Stun, Long and Jenny, each of who brings a unique fighting skill to the arena. During each bout, players build an energy bar based on the number of successful kicks and punches they land on their opponent. As the bar fills, players can then morph their combatant into terrifying manimals from beasts such as lions and tigers to moles. The morph, in turn, unlocks a secondary control system specifically designed with each creature's combat moves and appearance in mind. In effect, this offers players two distinct combat types within one game.Action Science fiction
