Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Plus

Awesome community work

I cannot be more glad for this on GOG. I used JJ2+ previously through original webpage, but the more I like to see that this great piece of work has its own spotlight here. Many features (especially multiplayer ones) added, playing online, but also a pretty bunch of maps for nostalgic single players. I wanted just to take a look for a minute and now i am 2 hours in, and absolutely no need to stop here. Patches, new textures and possibilities for editors/creators of new maps. Let's keep this one alive. Hell of a good platformer. My inner child is happy.

Quake III Arena

Pure arena shooter perfection

No story. No distractions. No grinding. Just you, a rocket launcher and a room full of enemies who really need to be shot. Quake III Arena takes everything that made arena shooters great and turns it into an incredibly fast, precise and addictive package. The movement is fantastic, the weapons feel amazing, and every match is a constant battle of reflexes, positioning and map knowledge. Even today, the gameplay remains remarkably tight. It may lack the progression systems and endless unlocks of modern multiplayer games, but that's exactly the point: your skill is the progression system. The single-player bot matches also hold up surprisingly well, making it easy to enjoy even without a community online. Fast, brutal and timeless. One of the best arena shooters ever made..

Bio Menace

Golden age of MS-DOS

Bio Menace has everything you'd expect from a classic Apogee platformer. Built on the engine originally created for Commander Keen, it's a fascinating piece of early-'90s PC gaming history. But nostalgia can be a dangerous thing. While Bio Menace is charming, intuitive and packed with secrets, its unforgiving difficulty haven't aged quite as gracefully. After a few levels, the nostalgia started wearing off — and I eventually called it a day after the first chapter. Still, if you're a fan of old-school run-and-gun platformers, Snake Logan's mutant-slaying adventure is absolutely worth experiencing. A cool piece of retro history, but nostalgia alone can't carry it.

FlatOut 2

Don't listen to the radio (you hear it)

Perfect lap times are for *******. This is about speed, destruction and sending your driver through the windshield. The cars feel heavy, the tracks are packed with things to smash, and every race can turn into absolute carnage. Add the hilarious stunt events, a great soundtrack and plenty of different cars and modes, and you've got an arcade racer that's still ridiculously fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously (thank god!) — and that's exactly why it works. FlatOut 2 is the kind of game you can jump into for five minutes and somehow still be playing two hours later. Pure, unapologetic racing fun and joy from destruction. Kids love this.

Divine Divinity

RPG gem that still shines

Divine Divinity is the kind of RPG they simply don't make anymore. A huge, wonderfully chaotic world packed with quests, secrets, NPCs and an almost absurd amount of freedom... and sometimes absurd humor by Larian. It may look like a classic action RPG on the surface, but underneath is a surprisingly deep role-playing experience. You can approach problems in different ways, experiment with the environment, build your character however you like and simply get lost in the world of Rivellon. It's quirky, occasionally clunky and definitely shows its age — but its freedom, atmosphere and sheer amount of content remain impressive. I haven't played it back then, but the more i like the feeling of the past age of gaming. Love the soundtrack, and quirky voice lines.

Stronghold HD

A bit different medieval strategy

Stronghold HD is proof that you don't need flashy graphics or endless complexity to make a great strategy game. Building your castle, managing food and taxes, training troops and then watching your carefully planned defenses get put to the test is still incredibly satisfying. (I was usually devastaded nearly every time) The campaign has a great mix of castle building, economy and combat, while the freedom to design your own fortress makes every game feel a little different. And let's be honest — few things are more satisfying than watching an enemy siege crumble against a ridiculous wall of towers and boiling oil. Stronghold's core gameplay has aged remarkably well. A timeless medieval classic.

DOOM + DOOM II

Timeless classics

Fast, brutal and endlessly replayable. DOOM doesn’t need modern graphics, complex progression systems or cinematic storytelling to be fun. Its simple formula of movement, exploration, secrets and pure gunplay still works ridiculously well. And if you need confirmation from the man who helped create it: at this year’s QuakeCon 26, John Carmack sat down to play DOOM again and summed it up as still a great game after all these years! After more than 30 years, DOOM hasn’t aged. It has matured. Rip and tear. It still holds up.

Dungeon Keeper™ 2

Great stuff even today

This one is nothing i have ever played. I have first seen it as a kid and i gotta say, its gameplay is truly something and it forged me to the chair also as an adult. Humor, management, strategy and nice theme is rarely successfuly mixed. Here it is baked into one game perfectly. Absolutely no brainer.

Heretic + Hexen

Golden classic, but beware...

Let me get this straight. If you see: "One ninth of the puzzle has been solved" you know it is going to be loooong game session. Both games are great fantasy shooters which I recommend from all of my hearth. I like it even more than original Doom. The maps (especially in Hexen) are very well designed to be discovered for secrets, keys, clues and other detail. But hear me out here - Those shooters are very heavy focus driven. You just must search for details such as gems on the wall, hidden switches around the corner or have a good space orientation. They test your player skills and also mind skills (patience). Hexen is far more difficult, i would say. Both are wounderfuly designed and their worlds and maps are just top notch. Heretic seems more "shooty" to me. I give this huge portion of mind flaying running through labyrinths - shooting monsters on the road - 4 out of 5 stars. I love it. I want to give it 5 stars. But during the searching for those switches i have sweared more than i am used to.

Heretic + Hexen

Very nice nostalgia

At its finest. Truly the good old FPS to come back to 90"
