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.
A fairy-based Pokemon-like, with action, instead of turn-based combat? SOLD! I played this on Steam and was thoroughly entertained and invested. It might be buried there, but I think a perfect home like GOG would help it find the broad appreciation a game like that, from the time of 2002, deserves.
Well actually im not such an Fairy-Type-Lover but this Game i've liked to play when i've build my second Computer so in 2003 / 2004.
The Story, the Levels, the Gameplay, the Music had me kept for a few Hours on my PC.
But sadly on modern Hardware it is almost impossible to play old CD-Games from your Collections.
I really wish i could play that Game again on my modern System without searching the Internet to how to make old CD-Games running on modern CPUs.
I love this game!!! The box art looked nice and so I bought it in a large supermarket at the time. Aaaaaand boy, was I in for a treat. It's a little like Pokemon but with a magical world to explore. Your fairies have different types and can evolve through experience. You fight against other wild fairies and "trainers" and control your fairies manually in the fight. I enjoyed every minute of it although it was not an easy game in the later parts. To this day, I still have the lyrics to the title theme memorized and listen to it often: At last, you found your way, to the realms of my world......

Tomb Raider: The Tower Bridge ExperienceThis is a fan-made standalone game that uses the TombEngine while creating its own story and puzzles.
This level started as a training ground and experimental ground for the author to get back into level building, and push the new TombEngine to its limits. As part of Matrix54's Revival Challenge he decided to pay homage to the late Dhama's Tower Bridge levels created in 2001. As a test he attempted to create Tower Bridge in Tomb Raider with its proper dimensions, a feat wouldn't be possible before TEN (TombEngine). And it just grew from there!Action
