Story:
Manhunt is a third-person stealth horror game. The game consists of twenty levels, and four bonus levels that can be unlocked; the levels are referred to as "scenes". Players survive the Scenes by dispatching enemy gang members known as "Hunters", occasionally with firearms but primarily by stealthily executing them in gruesome, over-the-top ways. The player is rated at the end of each level, primarily dependent on the gruesomeness of the killings and the speed of completion, from one (unimpressive) to five (extremely competent) stars. Executions are preferred in order to gain a higher score, thus encouraging players to play as viscerally as possible. The game's locales are full of "dark spots" and shadows where the player can hide while being chased by the Hunters; hiding in these dark areas makes the player invisible to opponents.

The only convenient way I can seem to find to play this game is simply to pirate it. The Steam version is completely unplayable due to Rockstar (LOL), which leads to loading issues, corrupt save files and CONSTANT CRASHING, so even if you pay$$ for the game, trying to mod the game to make in effort to make it run at all, seems to be a real pain. Its insane that Rockstar and Steam are still charging money for a 20+year old game, but cant be bothered to even get it to run. Controversial or not, this game is still a piece of art and a little slice of gaming history from the early 2000s. Id love to have a safe, playable version in my GOG collection.

Forget all the gory, bloody, scary stuff surrounding this game. People treat it as if it were something edgy that had never been done before, when Mortal Kombat in the early '90s set the bar high. This game has a different value. It has really good stealth mechanics. It's not ideal, but it gives you that Predator feeling of choosing the most efficient path, luring enemies etc. It has cool, challenging gunfights that are fun when you're on the highest difficulty — every bullet and headshot matters. The amazing soundtrack and sound design put you in the mood. Again, it's not the mood of a "Saw" movie, but rather the mood of a commando: an ultimate soldier who outsmarts his enemies and has the stamina, strength and aim to overcome them. All of this together provides a good experience, something similar to what you get in "Hitman" games. It just has extra "gory" things, which is not a big deal. So yeah, it would be great to see it preserved here.

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.
