Anyone tried it in Wine yet? :)

Not sure, if I ever saw anything about this game back in its day (though the screenshots seem somewhat familiar), but the graphical style and the description alone (not to mention the low price point), warrant an instabuy from me.

Lovely looking!

Looks like my kind of game, but I really don't have any time right now. Wishlisted! :)

it does, why do you think i bought it when i saw it when it was available in my country in the shops? (retail cd and a small nice manual that show that some care was spend on the design of the manual)

7 is a good rating out of 10 7.5 would be also a possible score in my honest opinion.

Don't forget that like with any game you have to get the feel of the game and the game mechanics.
When i first bought it and played it it was awkward and so it will be again , awkward till i get the grips of it.
Once i had the controls i could play it quite well :D but its been way to long so i guesss i might not be as quick a learner now like i was back then, i mean 14 years is a lot of time.

I am suprised its already on GoG, i dont think it had 500 or 1000 votes, i do hope that some glicthes are fixed cause XP ran the game but i had to take some graphical glitches in account.
So i hope these are all gone on win7.

Finally please dont compare this game with nowadays lookalike these modern versions cant be compared to this classic game, the things they can make a game do now, were not possible 10 to 15 years ago, so the experience wont be the same as the one you had with invisble inc for example, and you cant compare it with the shadowruns, these are far superior to shadow watch, although i dont have these shadowruns (only the first cause it was during a action or so) i dont fancy the modern shadowrun controls the rotating the zooming and the graphics style/art.

If you play this game clear your mind and focus on this game dont expect things to be like the other games you like so much, then the experience will be better.

Speaking of the game's comic book art style, I wonder if comic book artist Richard Case, whose work on Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol for DC/Vertigo in the late 80s through early 90s I'm most familiar with, had anything to do with this game's art?

This one is new to me, and I like the look of it. Reviewers don't seem to have liked it to much at the time, but maybe it's aged well?

According to MobyGames, he did indeed:

Cool! His art has a distinctive style that I detected from that one image of the bearded grunt alone.

i instabought it cause i own the retail version since it came out.
installed it and ran it, no problems, except al tab still 'messes' up display, using mouse to brush the buttons back works .
which was the same and only problem the original retail game has running on Xp and win7
the graphics disappear 9fallout original retail had it but that has been fixed in the gog and steam versions
(i own both)

anyways i replied in a help topic:

I don't get it. The Enigmatic Hint was clearly Darkest Hour.

; )

Will have to look into this. Never heard of it but looks like it could be interesting.

thank you for your compliments ;)

Still have my original cd. The game works out of the box too. While it has some rough edges, namely that you move the team by clicking on directional arrows instead of pointing and clicking directly on the location tiles with your mouse, which can land you in some precarious FUBAR situations, the game has the atmosphere and gameplay to back it up.

If you like Xenonauts, JA2, X-Com, Silent Storm, go with this. It's a simpler kind of game, but still good.
