You won't believe these games are not available on Steam/GOG

[Trojan_generic]

Age of Pirates: City of Abandoned Ships is available on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/sea_dogs_city_of_abandoned_ships
Note: it is somewhat buggy and from what I remember it (and the whole series) likes AMD graphics cards more than nVidia's.

Nah, it's more or less fine. There's also the combined mod at piratesahoy which has aversion that only fices bugs and adds a few convenience features, like automatically choosing to imbibe antidotes if poisoned when you hit X, and using M for maps.

Been playing it more than 60+ hours, crashed only twice so far, and no bugs I can notice.

Yes, for the current price it is certainly worth trying. I remember that this was the only game that could bring a blue screen to Win7 with an nVidia graphics card on my computer.

Isn't Gaia - The Fall basically Fallout Tactics 2?

nah, there is more than combat in it, I think it's more action RPG with pause?

Soldiers of Anarchy was an RPG in the same sense that Jagged Alliance is.
I don't believe either of them are available on GoG.

it's not on GoG because it's buggy game and people here start bitching if they found even slightest bug in the game which lead to GoG pulling out the game from the store.

Jagged Alliance? nah

Interesting. I may try it out. I hear getting it to work properly is a real PITA, and my machine is finicky in its old age.

best bet is to buy game from ebay, it's called "Fall-Last Days of Gaia Reloaded" and it's v1.10, then you apply english translation from NMA if they did not purged their files and themselves already and you're good to go.

These gems also didn't make it to Steam (dunno why...looking at the 20$ category over there I'd guess they fit)

WHAT GAME IS THIS??

A game called Labrynth V1.0 by Lunatic Fringe Software. The internet doesn't know it though.

Mate, you do have a copy stuffed somewhere in the dark corner of your HDD, right?

UPDATE:
Nevermind, found it with some help from a good friend of mine: https://archive.org/download/Labrynth_1020

I found this game on a really old shareware CD. There is a whole folder of RPG shareware games that are not really worth playing. Like....

 

[Sizzle]

So Blonde, a pretty good (much better than the crappy trailer makes it out to be) adventure game from 2008.

 

[Don Peste]

Added a few more: Star Trek: Away Team, Harbinger, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring, and Cops 2170: The Power of Law.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring

This the one that seems like a WC3 game? Nice music it had.

Paradise Cracked

There is a remastered version w/ faster hidden movement, various fixes, and modern OS support (?).
It's free, but I think it's only available in Russian: http://reality413.com/index.php/adventures/paradise

Yeah, it's RU only. Same with COPS 2170 actually, the developer combined it with the RU-only expansion, fixed up the code and some bugs, and re-released it for free: http://reality413.com/index.php/home/news/316-vlast-zakona-zolotaya-kollektsiya-remaster

From what I gathered, you can replace the data files w/ ENG ones in case of Paradise Cracked and it should work just fine according to one of the posts from their forums. Didn't bother to test this, so can't confirm.

Oh that's great, good to know.

Previously unavailable at least, looks like Wesnoth is on steam next week. This can only be a bad thing in the long run, since steamcucks will likely cause the game to decline as they inevitably become the target audience.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Some games mentioned on this thread have become available since last post here.
Diablo 1

Superhero League of Hoboken

Wizards & Warriors

Missionforce: Cyberstorm
https://af.gog.com/game/missionforce_cyberstorm?as=1649904300

Knights of the Chalice was released on Steam.

I probably missed some.

 

[Daidre]

I remember really liking Siege of Avalon long time ago:

But when I tried to find out why game is almost never mentioned, it turned out that complete English version barely (?) exists.
But there is Russian, with extra patches and top-notch translation. Odd.

The two Heavy Gear games aren't available as far as I can see

Federation is broken as all heck in that game. You basically can buy your way to victory with the Feds, and given the Fed's research strength, they are basically easy mode for the game.

That's basically how the Federation is in the setting in general, isn't it sorta

No. The Fed tend to negotiate, and they have the Prime Directive as well. Not outright China-style bribery.

Of course, that creates hilarious scenarios where you bought the Edenians and the Guardian is still there. If that planet is on the front lines, entire swarms of enemy ships get wrecked on a neutral NPC monster while you sit back and laugh.
