Thought i would share this good news with my fellow GoG gamers. Here is a link to the news: <span class="bold">click</span>.
Why is it such good news you ask yourself? Well cause now you will be able to play Riven on multiple platforms, and without installing old quicktime codecs to get the game to work, and without the saving/loading bugs, random crashes, etc...
Support is not yet official because some things are not 100% implemented yet, but if you already know the answer to the Marble puzzle and Riven numerals you can complete the game using ScummVM.
Other good news is of course that MYST/MYST ME uses the same game engine and that is also being worked on by the ScummVM dev team. More good news from ScummVM for us Cyan fans in the future, i am sure.
So anyway, grab a ScummVM SVN build for your platform (you can get them here: <span class="bold">click</span>) and get sucked into the beautiful world called Riven.
