Monster Sanctuary Review
Developed by Moi Rai Games and published by Team 17 in December 2020, Monster Sanctuary is a creature collector 2D platformer RPG that a friend of mine was so enthusiastic upon playing that he bought a copy for all of his favorite people for Christmas in 2021 - rather rare for a single player game. As maybe a bit less of an enthusiast, it took me a few years to get started on it enough to really get into it, but once I did, I could certainly see the appeal. The game has a lot of complexity in combat and people
BeastieBall Review
Set. Spike. Win!IntroductionOh no. Can you feel it? The tingling for a new adventure, or perhaps the urge to collect all that you see—because that is the way.This is a refreshing and artful take on an iconic genre of games, those known to inspire an obsession with cute little creatures.And yet, while the monster-collecting RPG are the game's core, I think the application and design of actual combat breaks through and beyond that template.Did I forget to mention? This game is all about Volleyball Beastieball. You build your team and you compete for points against others.I didn't think it would happen
Dragon Spirits 2 Review
A swirl of digital distortion clouds your view, reality skewed through a lens of sheer delusion. A vast dream-scape of swirling lights, woven together with error codes, popups, and just about everything in-between floods your vision. Dizzy and disoriented, you step back. How the hell did you get here?“What happened?” You asked yourself in sheer bewilderment. “You fell into a Cocoon.” A thick, intelligent voice thrummed behind you unexpectedly. Turning, you find yourself frozen in place, half in awe, partially in fear. Before you looms a magnificent beast, scales of red and blue shimmering in the warped neon lights.A dragon.“A-a…” Words
Slime Rancher 2 Review
Some games should come with a diabetes warning sign. Slime Rancher 2 perfectly fits the bill as it delivers a cuteness overload masquerading as a relaxing gameplay experience, when in fact there is so much going on, that getting your nerves wrecked in no time is also a possibility. Slimes, it seems, are an unruly bunch, and while they attempt to leave you in awe with their lovely sounds and adorable expressions, chickens will be devoured, and tarr slimes will swallow regular slimes whole. It’s a dog-eat-dog world but with slimes in this delightful mix of first-person shooter and farming simulator.Way

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -
