"You don't know Jack" is one of the funniest multi-player quiz games I've ever played. YDKJ parts 1 through 3 remind me of so many cool evenings with my friends and so-students in our student dorm back in early 200X...

I have many fond memories of my siblings huddled around the keyboard, fingers hovering over our buzzer keys, some adult jokes going over our heads but still ending up laughing to the point of silly hysterical delirium anyway. I remember the joy learning that I could screw myself, and the host acknowledging the stupidity of doing so. I remember always staying listening through the whole credits sequence to hear all the bizarre ads. The You Don't Know Jack series are definitely "Good Old Games" that belong on GOG. I would buy them here in a heartbeat.
Such a great game, even in German language ! (Translation and voice recording by Sierra back then. They did a great job with that !) It was so funny that I bought every other translated game of this series (by Sierra ) ! It's such a shame that all those translated games which Sierra translated never appear on GOG or elsewhere ...
Those games also need your vote!

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-KazooieA bear named Banjo needs the help of his loyal friend Kazooie, a red feathered bird, to rescue his sister Tooty from a witch named Gruntilda. Gruntilda has created a machine that transfers one person's level of beauty to another, and plans to use it on Tooty, so she can steal her youthful good looks. Tooty is hidden within Gruntilda's lair, a strange collection of rooms that contain portals to mysterious environments, where new landscapes, new friends, and new foes are encountered. The layer contains magical doors that seal off certain rooms, stopping Banjo and Kazooie from finding Tooty. In order to open these doors, Banjo and Kazooie need to collect mysterious objects called notes, which exist within the mysterious environments. Collecting enough of these notes will give them the power to open the magical doors. In order to open a portal to a new environment, a jigsaw containing a picture of the environment has to be finished. Golden Jigsaw pieces are located within previously visited worlds, and can fit any unfinished jigsaw. The game is often described as being similar to Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong Country, as well as sharing a few similarities with The Legend of Zelda series.
