Harbinger
I have to agree with Hidden_Gems. I just started playing the retail copy that I bought some years ago. I had some problems with the visuals back when I tried the demo, but the full version ran like a charm. Just don't use the "High Resolution" option. I'm also using the 1.11 patch.
It's not a very complex ARPG and some mechanical details are a bit confusing, but the visuals are decent and there is a surprising amount of varied ambient tracks to support the atmosphere.
The german translation has occasional issues, but it's true that the characters actually have interesting things to say. The writers had some trust that the audience isn't just a bunch of half-wits. The story and world-building are decent as well.
An unique hidden gem, particularly because of the atmosphere and immersion (beautiful hand-drawn graphics and amazing music). The story is really good: a planet-sized spaceship with endless dark corridors and halls full of secrets and strange creatures - and some great NPCs and dialogue.
One of the most immersive soundtracks ever in a game:

Here the beginning (it gets much better, with great environments later). Love the HUB and the music there too:

It maybe not best of it's kind but kinda good and have fond memories with it, definetly worth a small cut from past .
I played it on XP, and apparently it hasn't worked on Windows since Vista. I wonder if there is a community patch that it could be bundled with.
This game was awesome. Please give it a second chance to find the success it deserved.
I want this game.
Looking for a gog release
I have a craving every year or so. I remember the game fondly, and I'd pay some buck to return to it.
GET THIS GAME ALREADY!
Ah yes, Harbinger by Silverback - a true classic with not even half the reputation it deserved. Would fit my GOG library like a glove!
release
Release the game already
I'll add my vote to it too. It's a simple but, fun diablo-like space action game. Sometimes it's the simple games that are often the best and there were no major bugs that I'm aware of either.
I own the original, but I hate the fact that I can't play it any longer, unless I use a virtual machine with WinXP... it does have bugs (especially Culibine), but it was a great Diablo-clone set on space
Recently discovered this. Would love to have it on GOG!
I would also be interested in this being added; There are currently no ways to pay and own this game.
Id be nice if this was added to GoG.
omg i miss this game. would be awesome to replay it again on modern PC
one of those games that inspired me as a kid, a hidden gem from a bygone era, would love to pick it up again and perhaps finally win as scintilla
I have the disc, but would love to share the game with friends without having to worry about destroying my only copy. Plus it would be nice to have a compatibility update!
Great game with truly UNIQUE atmosphere. Not sold anywhere.
A pleasant Diablesque action RPG, set in a very interesting sci-fi setting. Would buy.

I don't see it coming soon if at all, but i missed it years ago and it's really a lot of time that i want to try it.
This game definitely would need some compatibility fixes for modern Windows and modern hardware but it would be so, so good to have it running properly. I would happily pay any amount of money for it a release that fixed compatibility issues.
A very good underestimated and forgotten little hack'n slash. For the first time i played a game till the end without playing another. A kind of Diablo into space. Not very long, not much replayability, except for the very different classes, but there are only 3. BUT it was such a good time ! I really would get it back, it is a real Good Old Game !
Would be an interesting release
Seems good on Win8.1 too, with compatibility on past windows.
Psyringe has confirmed on GamersGate that it does install on Win7 64-bit, so it should install on Vista 64-bit as well. Just run the installer under compatibility mode and you should be set.
It is DRM Free over at GamersGate, it is released by Nordic Games which is one of the publishers that works with GOG, so WHY IS IT NOT HERE?
You have my vote for Harbinger on GOG too. Please release it here when you are able to, GOG, and I will buy!
Got it from GG but it doesn't even install on my Vista 64. GOG fixes it and I will buy it again.
We need this game on gog.com! Especially since it's already available at GamersGate but i'd prefer to buy it here.
Watched a gameplay video and thought this game deserves its space at GOG.com
I loved the voice actor for the human campaign. Western accent in space = cool. Never finished it - the env's got a bit boring, but would definitely go another round.

Diablo-like game, more arcade than RPG, with amazing atmosphere and sound effects.
I want this game so bad.......I played part of the human campaign years back and tried installing it recently on Vista/Win7 and it was a no-go no matter what I tried.
