Story:Lode Runner: The Legend Returns is a 1994 remake to the classic Lode Runner video game. The game takes place in a single frame with many different elements such as ground, ladders, treasure, items, and villains. The goal is to collect all the treasure, avoid touching any of the monks, and reach the exit. A level editor is included with the game, allowing several levels to constitute a single group of levels, as well as the ability to switch between different tile sets. The editor can choose to set the level in night or day, as well as change the background music regardless of the tile set.Show more

I was hoping someone added this. There's a fan remake I have, it's the exact same game. But I'd love to get the real thing. Played so much, built so many terrible maps, love it.

In elementary school, I played this game with friends on the Compaq Presario PCs in the computer lab. We had to share keyboards to play multiplayer! The graphics still hold up, and it's still plenty of fun. Like @Osty, I built a ton of awful maps and had a blast playing it.

This game is so simple and yet so complex!Everything about this game is perfectly done.The soundtrack for every world fits the atmosphere perfectly and really pulls you in.The sound effects for picking up gold or swinging a pick axe or being mauled by a mad monk all illustrate exaclty what you'd expect.Its a two player game so that makes it extra fun to journey through different worlds with a buddy,and when your done with the fantastic base game you can make your own!This game comes with a full map editior,so you can make your own crazy campaigns as well!

For me, this is the best Lode Runner experience. Really enjoyable and the graphics still holds. I wish someone brought this back because this one is a classic. ;)

It's not very logical that both The Legend Returns and Mad Monks Revenge are in the GOG Dreamlist, as they are the same game.Mad Monks revenge is an enhanced version of Lode Runner: The Legend Returns, adding multiplayer support and cooperative puzzle packs.I love this game, especially its remake.

The original fourth command has been replaced by the introduction of Reaction Commands from Kingdom Hearts II and are triggered by pressing the Triangle Button. The camera works more similarly to that of Kingdom Hearts II, utilizing the right thumb stick to move the camera and allowing the player to click the R3 button to reset the camera behind Sora, as opposed to the original game which made use of the shoulder triggers L2 and R2 to position the camera. Overall, the gameplay of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix was modified so it would play more similarly to Kingdom Hearts II and Re:Chain of Memories, to create a more consistent play style throughout the series.Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of MemoriesThis version of Chain of Memories was released in Europe and Australia for the first time as part of the collection, as it was previously released in North America in December 2008.Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 DaysThis game, originally released for the Nintendo DS, does not appear in playable form in this collection, and is instead adapted into 2 hours and 50 minutes worth of cinematic cutscenes, remastered in high definition.ActionFantasyComedyKidsDramaActionFantasyComedyKidsDrama76Final Fantasy XFinal Fantasy X is the tenth main installment in the FF series and the first title released on sixth-generation consoles. It was also the first game to feature fully three-dimensional areas rather than including pre-rendered backdrops, and the first to include voice acting.

The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.Open worldFantasyScience fictionOpen worldFantasyScience fiction27 35413Sid Meier's Gettysburg!Sid Meier's Gettysburg! is a real-time tactical computer game designed by Sid Meier, the co-founder of Firaxis Games, that was released in 1997 by Electronic Arts.
