Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. The original has a lot of technical issues, and has essentially become abandonware. However, it's still easily one of Troika's greatest cRPGs, so it's a real shame that it's just being left to languish. The underlying game is interesting enough that I think a fresh coat of paint and some new audio would do a lot to bring in a new generation if players, but would really love if a team of fans were willing to bring it back even better than before.
Eh, that term is for games that you can't get anywhere, like No One Lives Forever, Mechwarrior 4 or Battle for Middle Earth 1/2. Arcanum has been on GOG and Steam for ages now
It's a good shout, but I played it for the first time earlier this year and let me tell you - that game needs more than just a fresh coat of paint to appeal to a modern gamer.
Like all Troika games it had amazing potential and occasionally glimmers brilliantly, but had godawful execution and often plays like dogwater.
