It was such a nice experience to play this game back in the days. The world was super nice, and the gameplay was fun. There were many different fairies and it felt like a Pokemon game but with different mechanics (arena fights with a FPS view). The story was simple but it felt great to walk around and try to capture all these fairies. Definitely a nice game that I would be happy to find on GOG !
Quake 3 Arena meets Pokemon! I remember I first played the demo of this game from one of the demo disks from a local magazine. I didn't understand the mechanics behind it but was captivated by the world nonetheless. The idea of catching the fairies and then shooting each other in a magical arena was quite cool for little me. Recently I've managed to play it again, and it was a great time. All the managing of the fairies to suit the environment, uncovering many secrets of the game and just walking around this beautiful world, especially with enhanced graphics courtesy of dgVoodoo wrapper was an absolute pleasure. Would love to see it brought back to life, it deserves it. And with games like Palworld nowadays combining Pokemon and survival games, Zanzarah was truly ahead of it's time.
Loved this one so.
Has on odd little world probably based on Brian Froud and the like, and the gameplay of Pokemon crossed with Unreal tournament. Charming, addictive, absolutely unique!
Watching the fairies evolve as I played this game with one of my best friends was really quite unforgettable. We had to go through so many different attempts to make it run, as the Steam version is a buggy and unstable mess on modern hardware, but it was really worth it to let her experience that nostalgia again.
I hope she can play this game again without having to perform a magic ritual to soothe the machine spirit of this game, which is why I would love t osee it on GOG!
10 Elements, 77 fairies. This was one of my favourite games back then and I would love to see it revived in some way.
The 3D battle was ambitious and it had its problems, but was all in all fun.
I feel, how my memory slips with this one.
Where should I start? I remember playing this when I was 9 years old on someone else's computer—the story, the gameplay, the music, everything—so much nostalgia. I have it on Steam, but it doesn't work; it's always crashing, despite the fact that I did not ask for a refund and kept it on Steam. Hopefully, if it gets a GOG release, it will be able to run modern hardware.

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over MystaraIn addition to the original four heroes found in its predecessor, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (Cleric, Dwarf, Elf and Fighter), Shadow of Mystara adds a Thief and a Magic-User to the selection. Furthermore, with the inclusion of two separate versions of each character's sprite set, the game allows up to two players to select the same character (in Tower of Doom each of the characters could only be selected once), effectively giving the game 12 "different" characters to choose from. The two Clerics and two Magic Users also have subtle differences within their spell books.
The controls are using four buttons: Attack, Jump, Select (brings up a small inventory ring around the character allowing the player to choose what item is set in the Use slot) and Use. The Cleric, Elf and Magic-User also have two extra rings for their spells, with the Jump button used to switch from ring to ring. While the game uses the same kick harness as the previous game, the Select and Use buttons are reversed.
Shadow over Mystara also introduced a selection of special moves which are executed by moving the joystick and tapping the buttons in certain combinations, in a way similar to the Street Fighter series. The characters (except for the Magic-User) have a Dashing Attack as well as a Rising Attack which can be used to combo monsters or even juggle them in the air. Most characters (again, with the exception of the Magic-User and also Cleric) also have a Megacrush, a move common to nearly all of Capcom side-scrollers, which damages all enemies standing close enough to the character but in turn also damaging the player themselves.Action
