Hi there, this is my first post here.
I tried searching for a similar topic, but there seems to be a problem with the search function, so I decided to create a new topic anyway.
Just wanted to see what you guys think of some games that I feel would benefit the site a lot.
Death Rally:
---
http://www.remedygames.com/games/deathrally
This is already freeware, and could be offered to people the same way the other free games are. Kind of a win-win scenario for both Gog and Remedy I think
Motorhead:
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorhead_%28video_game%29
This is an awesome racing game from the PSX era. I actually have the original game, but I can't seem to be able to install it on Win7 x64 for some reason. An official release of this game, along with the latest patches and content, working on any system, would be VERY cool. It really is a outstanding game. It's actually kind of hard to search things for this game, since most results are always about the Mötorhead band ¬¬.
Robosaurs vs the Space Bastards:
---
http://www.gvirt.com/uploads/posts/2011-09/1315132006_robosaurs-versus-the-space-bastards-screen-1.jpg
Now, this is what I call "hard to find". Even youtube seems to not have anything besides the intro... impressive. This is a game I particularly like very much. I have the full, but pirated, version (if I could find the original I would certainly buy).
Would be impressive if the guys from gog could get a hold on this gem. It really does fit Gog a lot imho.
NetStorm:
---
http://www.netstormhq.com/news.php
This is another overlooked RTS gem. It was pretty much overshadowed by Starcraft at the time. It is a very innovative game and extremely exciting to play. I'm not sure, but it's current official status seems to be freeware also (the site has a download link). This game as a free offer would be very good, and should be easy to get a hold of. Really think this game should be experienced by more people. The guys at NSHQ can only do so much to advertise the game. Having it on Gog would help immensely.
Gunlok:

This is another very unknown strategy game. Seems to have quite a few unique features for it's time. I personally only played the demo, and ended downloading the full game torrent (since, again, I couldn't find the original for sale). Would instantly buy if released by Gog.
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen:
---
I'm not sure why this has not yet been offered on Gog, seeing as the later Soul Reaver series has already released. Very well known game, no links needed ;). It is a very cool game, would love to see (and would also buy) if released. There is a very well known patch for playing the game on modern operating systems, should be very easy to seamlessly integrate on a Gog installer.
Myth (series):
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_%28series%29
I really love Myth! I only have the first one (the Fallen Lords) though, got it through a magazine release. Also plays very well on modern systems through glide wrappers and such. Probably very easy to integrate into Gog.
DethKarz:
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dethkarz
Another fairly underground racing game, kind of a Wipeout / F-zero / Mario Kart thing. Very fun to play (I own the original game) and extremely hard also. Plays fairly well on modern systems with glide too.
Get Medieval:
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Medieval
Very cool game to play with friends. It is very unknown here in Brazil, not so sure about it in the US. Another game I have original, boxed.
Viper Racing:
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viper_Racing
Amazing old racing game from Sierra. More on the realistic side, with surprisingly good handling and physics. Very fun game. I also own it original, but would love to see it on Gog for more people to have a chance to play it.
These are those I remember right now. Would love to hear your thoughts about them and also other game suggestions.
Cheers all.
