I can confirm that it works under wine. I used it to get the original DotT files and run it with scummvm. The remastered version sadly doesn't even run on my old notebook due to its OpenGL requirements.

I hope that the same will be possible to do with Full Throttle, in case there will be (unfortunately) no bonus download of the original version from 1995.

With "their [Double Fine's] older titles" you mean "LucasArts' adventure games"? Because as a matter of sheer tastes in genres, I would readily agree to that.

Nonetheless, I found Broken Age to be fairly decent, Costume Quest and Stacking to be really good and Headlander simply excellent. No quarrels there.

Yes bandcamp is what I'd want. Only ever bought once off itunes and that was an apple OS update. I'll never, ever buy video or music content from them. I hate that platform / software with a burning passion.
Hmm that's a pretty small collection you have going there. I find it hard to resist buying music. my wishlist is over 100 and I have a whole bunch of bookmarks to bandcamp artists still to look into.

Ah I'd forgotten about that tool, didn't realise it was still being updated. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm mainly focused on game music, and have in many cases been able to buy soundtracks with the game on GOG. The collection will undoubtedly expand in the future, promise. :)

I didn't know that. Thx for the info - I'll give it a try.
Very much...if you just can't run remaster because of system requirements :-(

Yeah, ped7g obviously forgot DosBox and other such programs which run the original game quite well.

His point on ScummVM is technically speaking true though, when you play with ScummVM, you don't play the original game.

But to add to the discussion, one factor is system requirements. Both DosBox and ScummVM need quite low system resources, whereas running the remastered version even in the original mode (or whatever they call it) requires much more hardware power.

Double Fine = Tim Schaefer = Not a Cent anymore in my life!

Same with Dean Hall and Peter Molyneux for me, they will never ever be worth a cent for me!

Sorry, but the Kickstarter fail is enough for me, this p+#.-+ö#äöüp is dead for me.

Slightly off topic, but people seem to be discussing iTunes and what-not.

If iTunes is DRM-free now, why was my ex unable to burn more than two copies of her own music (that she ripped herself, not bought or downloaded) less than 3 years ago if this apparent DRM-free thing started 8 years ago?

Grow up and get over it.

Strange. I've supported all Kickstarter projects from Double Fine and non failed for me.
You should really get over it.

AFAIK to use iTunes you have to install this piece of #%§ first, that's more DRM than I can handle!
Wasn't there also a "feature" which scans your existing collection and sometimes does weird stuff?

So not true. My laptop isn't very old or underpowered (2.9 GHz Core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM) but because of the system requirements for the remasters (which requires AT LEAST a newer version of Intel integrated graphics than mine has) I cannot play these games on my laptop (I do have a gaming desktop, so I'm still gonna get the game, but that's a bit besides the point).

The people that are "whining" want to be able to play a legal version of an old game on hardware that is far better than the hardware that the original game was made for, but can't, because these remasters require capabilities FAR beyond the original games just to boot up to even put it in "original" mode.

And yes, I tried with the DotT remaster.

Yes, I seem to recall iTunes somehow deleting files that weren't even related to iTunes in any way.
Then again, if you use Apple products, encountering any kind of user limitations shouldn't be any kind of surprise.

I really don't understand why people use services like iTunes. Even if we somehow would believe that it's all DRM-free (which I don't believe, but having never used the service, I really don't know), it still doesn't change the fact that everything you get from there is lossy. To the best of my knowledge Apple is so much against FLAC, that even their hardware (iPhones, etc.) don't play FLAC files.

I simply refuse to pay for lossy content, and that's why I haven't bought any non-physical forms of music to this date.

Bandcamp offers FLAC (or even WAV & AIFF if for some reason you want it) already track tagged & cover thumbnailed that you download directly from your browser. They have very competitive pricing. I wish all music that I like was available on Bandcamp.
