    I'd like a copy of Fallout, cus I can't find mine and it'd make a nice wedding present. ;)
  • CJAwesome
    I would probably end up getting Jagged Alliance 2 because I am very unemployed and about to spend a month with very irregular internet access and no chance of employment. Which is about the amount of time it would take to beat Ironamn mode and/or die from insanity.
  • KieranD
    I would absolutely love it if I won Beyond Good and Evil from this competition. Time and time again I hear people going on and on about how amazing the game is, with me left going 'yeah, I heard that was pretty... yeah...". Since it has sadly gone out of print I have not been able to pick up a copy, so download is my only option.

    Also, you giving me the apparently-awesome game would make me tweetspam about your amazing site and how I won a game ;D. Only joking, I wouldn't make your site seem desperate like that. Would tweet a bit though, and I have a good few followers... ;D.

    So yeah. If you could find it in your server system, could I please receive a copy of this amazing (confirmation?) game.
  • vrap
    Psychonauts, because I've always heard about how great it is, but never had a chance to try it.
  • Arkhanor
    I'd love to win Postal - Classic and Uncut. When I played this game for the first time, back in 1998/99 , it got me just for the insane plot and the disturbing screams of pain of the ones you've shot. It was just a different experience on the world of games on that time. It still fun to play it. It's a great old school shotter/arcade game.
  • helios
    Hmm, when Beyond Good & Evil came out I had a crap PC, but now I have an amazing one and I'd love to play the game now ;)
  • gene26
    I'd get Psychonauts, since it is one of the funniest games i've ever played. and free is better than $10. either i win, or i buy it later. do what you know is right ripten. save me that money.
  • udm
    I would like to win Psychonauts. Being a huge fan of MDK, Giants and games that don't take themselves seriously, Psychonauts sounds like a game that I should really enjoy.
  • csmith811
    This is a tough one. I would love Beyond Good & Evil or Psychonauts. Having to choose one of them, I would say Psychonauts. Fun, fun game. Please put me into the drawing. Thanks in advance for picking me!
  • alexei_net
    Planescape: Torment! Oh wait, they don't have it :(
    Jagged Alliance 2 then, always wanted to try it.
  • dreamwall
    I'ld like Psychonauts cause I've heard so much about it. Now it's my chance to play it :)
  • Maxdoggy
    Honestly, there are too many great games for me to choose from. You have Fallout, Fallout 2, Beyond Good and Evil, as well as Psychonauts. If I won, I would LOVE to have Psychonauts made by the brilliant mind of Tim Schafer.
  • ercankazaz
    I want Psychonauts because I couldn't play this game because my rig was not powerful enough. Then I wanted to buy it but I couldn't find it anywhere. It would be very great to win Psychonauts from here.
  • darth_careful
    It would definitely be IL Sturmovik: 1946.

    It's a compilation of all the content in the series, and I already have it on a gazillion CDs. But disk swapping was invented by the devil and I rarely play it now. Luckily, those nice GOG chaps have done away with all that nonsense, so I'd love the chance to get reaquainted with it again!
  • lotr-sam0711
    The Longest Journey

    Because I've been itching for a good point-and-click adventure game and I've heard plenty of great things about it.
  • nibble
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I played the game all those years ago, but I don't have it anymore. I would love to own this gem.
  • cave
    I would also like Beyond Good and Evil. I started a game a long time ago at a friends house and never finished, and since all I have is a 360 I can't play it. And thanks for promoting GOG, hopefully this site will get good traffic from the contest. GOG ROCKS
  • Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE

    So I can champ it up. Don't even act like you feel my rage, my rage is golden.
  • Ralackk
    I would love a copy of Unreal Gold, I've played all the Unreal Tournament games nearly to death and back, sinking hundreds of hours into them. I have never given the story side of the franchise a fair try though and winning Unreal Gold would be a perfect chance for me to correct that mistake.
  • Zardus
    I'm thinking either UT 2k4 or Unreal 1 & 2. Possibly Beyond Good and Evil as well...
  • Toyoch
    I'd like to have Expendable.
    I once had its CD but lost for long time, plus I'm not even sure the CD one will run at modern PC.
    But GoG.com works really hard to make those oldies work on PC games(one of the interview says they're optimizing for Windows 7 as well).
  • Taczbr
    I would like to win The Incredible Machine.
    I've played the demo long time ago, and nowadays I would like to go back to a game like this one, that made you think, arrange, build, be creative to solve the game. Not the way that games are going to, actually.
  • martyring
    I would very much enjoy Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. It was such a great game on Playstation, plus my crappy laptop could run it. :D
  • Vestin
    Evil Genius. Dungeon Keeper was awesome and I'd like to give something similar yet newer a whirl...
  • Elflink
    Psychonauts, it seems like a great game and want the chance to try it out for myself
  • GigaAndy
    It'll have to be Beyond Good and Evil for me, as it was one of the few games from the end of the golden age that I've never played, which is a great shame. I miss those days.
  • deoren
    I'd love to win Psychonauts as I've heard a lot of great things about it and would like to play it. :)
  • Jugglenaut
    I'd like giving Advent Rising a try, it looked like it might have been fun back when it came out.
  • nickreaume
    I would have to go with Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey. Never played it, but I've watched a friend play it while waiting on something. Looked it up, and watched some videos on it, but never got around to buying it. It looks interesting, and all the awards it's won intrigues me.
  • Duffadash
    The wait for Duke Nukem Forever is taking... Well... Forever...
    Maybe I should take this time to play some Duke Nukem 3D? I heard it was brilliant!
  • JamesGecko
    Psychonauts. It's supposed to be pretty great, and I like 3D platformers. Also, I now have a computer that can run it, whereas I did not when it came out.
  • javiernoval
    I'd love to play The Incredible Machine again. It has puzzles, it features Rube Goldberg machines and above all it's really fun!
  • Cardian
    The Might & Magic 6 Compilation is awesome!
  • Vagabond
    Heroes of Might & Magic 3. Never played any HOMM games, and from what I've gathered over years, that's the best one. It'll be like a pre-King's Bounty game!
  • lipsynch
    I would definitely love to get my hands on Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete. I'm kind of intimidated by RTS (lol) hence why I turn to TBS instead. The HoMM series has always been on my radar but never got a chance to try it out, and I saw that GOG has HoMM3, I want it!
  • Jonathan Zungre
    lipsynch, i completely agree with you about rts and tbs. And heroes 3 may be my favorite game of all time. you definitely need to play it.
  • MrSegraves
    I want the original Fallout. Fallout 3 was amazing, but now I really want to see how the series got its start. I know it's different, without the incredibly fast paced shooting, but turn-based RPGs are one of my favorite genres. Seeing how many references to the original number 3 made will also be interesting to see.
  • catshade
    Definitely the Commandos 2+3 compilation! I played the original Behind Enemy Lines a few years back, and they're damn difficult, more like a puzzle game than your usual strategy/tactics game; But when you finished a mission, the level of accomplishment you felt was truly satisfying. Therefore I'm curious about the two sequels. :D
  • jandeilson
    Psychonauts: because with this, several hours of fun I were offered. Staying up until now in my memory, in small fragments, than protect with affection. And of course, Psychonauts is a game whose Tim Schafer proof that no enferrujou.

    []'s!
  • cfveliz
    I'd like The Longest Journey because I've read that it is very good and I used to play adventure games like Full Throttle and Monkey Island in my childhood.
