The year is the early 90s. Carl “CJ” Johnson comes back to Los Santos after his mother’s death, only to find his old neighborhood in chaos—friends scattered, family fractured, gangs running the streets. What starts as cleaning up Grove Street quickly spirals into a wild ride across all of San Andreas: the city skylines of Los Santos, the neon nights of Las Venturas, and the dusty backroads of the countryside. Drive, shoot, gamble, race, steal planes, spray-tag walls, and shape CJ into whoever you want him to be. Packed with an unforgettable soundtrack, over-the-top missions, and a whole state to explore, San Andreas isn’t just a game—it’s a world that defined an era of open-world chaos.NicoRazor1997

When I was young I was so desperate to play any GTA game that I pirated a MAC version of this game. My parents did not approve of me playing this game but boy whenever they left the house? I would just replay and replay and replay this game over and over. It's definitely one of my favourites in the franchise. Rockstar treating its legacy titles like dirt is a shame, as these are the games that defined and built who they are today. I may have these titles in Steam before they were delisted, but truly owning my own DRM free copy as well as preserving one of gaming history's most important title is worth any price. Please add this to GOG and I will support it as much as I can.
its a game of our lifetime and grew up play6ing not to mention all the cheat codes i had to print lmao so lets preserve it and let future generations experiance of open world of san andres
I always play this when I'm depressed or reminiscing about my brothers especially peds attack in 2009 or with mods back in back in 2018 hope this game comes back
This is my favourite GTA game. The scope and variety of the story, spanning 3 cities and their surrounding countrysides, is unmatched in any other GTA. CJ's journey is truly epic (and often whacky,) with more varied and interesting missions than any other Rockstar game.

Well... Here we are gentlemen (don't know if ladies played at the time): The most beloved GTA of all time (yes, not GTA V) with one of the most loved characters of all time (C to the J). Played this back in junior high, it took me some time to finish it but I made it and I was mesmerized. Very accurate 90's vibe, very good radio music, blazing hollywood story, Samuel L. Jackson as the main villain, plenty of things to do across all the map and speaking of map, although my favorite game is Vice City, this game has my favorite city of all GTA's: San Fierro. Fortunately (or not depending on the perspective) I have the OG version that Rockstar gave away a few years back on their launcher but I know many weren't as fortunate. So if GOG ever manages to bring back the OG version (yes, I know the complications with music licensing) it will be a dream for all the youngsters, past and current, who fell in love with this masterpiece.
Pourquoi GTA: San Andreas est devenu légendaire ? Sorti en 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas n’a pas juste été un succès : il a redéfini ce qu’on attendait d’un jeu en monde ouvert. À l’époque, c’était tout simplement énorme. Ce qui marque immédiatement, c’est l’ampleur du jeu. San Andreas, ce n’est pas une seule ville, mais tout un État : Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas, des campagnes, des déserts, des montagnes. Chaque zone a son ambiance, sa musique, ses codes. On avait vraiment l’impression de partir en road trip. Et puis il y a CJ. Carl Johnson est devenu un personnage culte, porté par une histoire de gangs, de famille, de trahisons et d’ascension sociale. Le scénario est à la fois sérieux et complètement barré, capable d’enchaîner une mission dramatique puis une autre totalement absurde… et ça fonctionne parfaitement. Côté gameplay, San Andreas était incroyablement riche pour l’époque. Personnalisation du personnage, entraînement physique, gestion de territoires, avions, vélos, casinos, missions secondaires en pagaille… On pouvait passer des heures à ne rien suivre du scénario, juste à vivre dans le jeu. La bande-son joue aussi un rôle énorme. Les radios sont cultes, ancrées dans les années 90, et participent énormément à l’identité du jeu. Bien sûr, avec le recul, la technique a vieilli. Mais son ambition, sa liberté et son fun restent intacts. 🚗 En résumé Un monde ouvert gigantesque et varié Une histoire et un héros cultes Une liberté de jeu presque totale Une ambiance et des musiques inoubliables 👉 GTA: San Andreas, c’est plus qu’un jeu : c’est un monument du jeu vidéo, et un souvenir marquant pour toute une génération.
I would love to play this one, because the remaster is a freaking sheet! I tried to find this game on internet but it doesn't existe, you gog will be the first to one to bring this to your site...

The current version that is avaiable on the rockstars website is broken like you cant event rotate your mouse properly cuz it starts spinning on its own and if it somehow does (if you are lucky) it fells really weird also the graphics was downgraded when compared to the console releases it would be great to see this game finally playable on the modern platfroms with the original art style and working gamepad and mouse controlls without having to fix it yourself

This game marks the childhood for very much people, and it's one of the best reviews in the whole life. I really wish I could buy this game from GOG and enjoy it once again.
Those games also need your vote!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
