Well, at least those games were already finished. Not launched half-baked, with the promise of finishing it eventually if the game was successful. Eventually you would get a meaty expansion worth paying for, but the game was complete in features from the start, it was an expansion, not a completion. Also, QA arguably left less bugs and, while now they rely too much on post-launch bug removal.

Eventually post-lanuch patches came to existence, and at first they were great. Now the system is widely abused. As per DLC, and alpha testing you actually pay for ("early access"), everything has been said about it already.

Haha, nice! Thanks for the info.

edit: For a moment there I thought you were going to answer me about Shivers :P

So, this looks a lot like a Star Trek game without official license. ;-)
Didn't Paramount try to intervene?

Thank you for that! I haven't thought of EB for a long time and appreciate the feeling the memory brings. I very much appreciate the hordes of cheap games I have access to now but the anticipation for a coveted game, perusing, and even holding, the boxes, coming across a long-watched game that was marked down below $20, playing every game right away (no "backlog")--those are unmatched feelings, long gone.

I've been checking to see if GOG would release this for years! I'm so happy that they just released it!

I owned the 3 CD version before and I the game would always crash for me on one spot within the first hour so it will be a bit surreal to finally finish this game.

Putting the O back in GOG! Now, we're talkin'!

Absolutely fantastic, GOG. Just awesome.

The game flows wonderfully. It will be rare that you get stuck, if ever.

You are an officer in a large spaceship and need to operate it on your own, while it was designed for a much more numerous crew. You do what you can, including doing some repairs and bringing some systems back online. Everything is quite logical, thence the ease of the flow with this story.

So it is a good graphic adventure even for people who is not especially fond on them as a genre. Also it will make you think and reflect by the end. You will want to finish it and it will leave you with a good aftertaste.

Instant purchase. Instant. Not waiting for a sale. Not waiting for anything. I saw this and immediately bought it.

Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time, period. This game captured my imagination 100%. It was almost a role-playing experience: I saw through the eyes of this nameless astronaut. I felt his pain and his fear, and I wept at the end when it was all over.

This game is also exceptionally difficult to run on modern computers. God bless you, Gog. This is one of the greatest FMVs of all time, and one of the greatest adventure games, period.

Thanks a lot for the info :)

If you're concerned about the RTS portion, the difficulty slider mentioned earlier goes all the way down to, "Have the computer play for me". This is a guaranteed win condition. The other timed puzzle I recall was a network path mini-game that had instant fail points, so it was more annoying than difficult as it required reloads.

Hey, thanks for clarifying this! I will surely give the game a chance soon.
