Has there been any word of the GoG crew supporting Anachronox? I never played it, but it keeps popping up in old PC gaming threads as a pretty cool sci-fi title. Would definitely drop $10 on that.

I as well. I always dug the music, story and characters in that game. I remember the "magic" in the game being kinda awkward though.

So far the only games I've gotten are the two old fallout games. I remember Septerra Core being released and getting bad reviews.

Well, not to get horribly off-topic, the PC version has more content, more features, a lot of rebalanced stuff and the load-times are reduced to almost nothing. Texture popin (especially after a little .ini tweak) is much improved too.

It runs at about 60fps solid for me, 4xAA 16xAF, VSync at 1440x900. Way, way better than the 360 version, even if fully installed (which I did).

Hmmm...you've got me interested. Guess I'll check out the official thread and decide if its worth a buy.

As for Phantasmagoria, that was a surprise. That was pretty drat controversial at the time due to the rape scene. The sequel even had somebody saying "gently caress" a couple of times which was A Big Goddamned Deal in the mid 1990s. Plus it had two guys nearly kissing which was Also A Big Goddamned Deal in the mid 1990s.

lovely games though...buy it for the funny FMV and bad acting.

It was revolutionary at the time :colbert:

That actress never acted again.

Oh sure I understand that. When I was younger I was a big Sierra guy. I would have to say though Phantasmagoria was the beginning of the end. The second Gabriel Knight game did this style of game the best IMHO.

Yeah, I think the games can only run as good as they did back in the day too, I recall that game being buggy.

Trying to play the first Gabriel Knight, the audio is REALLY scratchy, speeds up randomly and is very glitchy. I had to turn off the narrator voice, it was bugging me too much.

Lame, the narrator is the best part of that game. "Dat doesn't work dat way."

Everyone who has ever enjoyed a single adventure game, or agatha christie novel, or art nouveau advertising poster, should buy this immediately. I am so not even joking.

How's the game look in motion? The screenshots look interesting enough.

Syndicate: Owned by EA, so probably not for a good while yet.
Shadow Watch: Owned by Ubisoft, so it's possible.
X-Com: Owned by 2K Games. I don't think they're on GOG, are they? Entire series is on Steam if you can't wait.

Syndicate was an awesome game so that sucks we'll have to wait on that one.

Please. Wait till you're part of the 30 and over crowd. Then you can complain about feeling old!
