tfishell: Are you coming back around despite the Gorky 17 incident? ;)
Faithful: Yes, however, I still check out the forum many times before purchase of any games here, and I never purchase unless there is a fairly deep sale.
Gorky 17 left a long-bad-taste. Still yet to be fix btw. :o)
Good memory, you must be part elephant! ()@() <-- sad attempt at an elephant with a curled trunk!
(I do tend to remember when people get pretty frustrated or angry with GOG, especially when compatibility issues are related. I guess because at one point I felt invested in GOG and the community, especially when sleuthing for info on game rights.)
Do we even know if GOG could have done anything to fix it? I believe it was only ever officially supported on XP and Vista, same with I'76 and a few other games.
Hey, maybe fans could encourage the publisher (Topware?) to let Night Dive or somebody create an HD remaster, if the source code isn't available for fixes of the current release. Hopefully it'd turn out good. :) These days I think GOG is strained with releasing so many games and as a result they have less time to test and fix things, and are leaving more of that up to the devs and pubs rather than themselves. And the focus is more on "DRM-free" than "old games made to run on new machines". Personally I just don't have time or energy to play games and already have a big enough backlog. I do buy a copy of
Pajama Sam Vol. 1 whenever it's at a decent discount though. ;)
