With the announcement of Activision we couldn't help ourselves not to prepare an in-depth overview of the great games released on GOG.com. We're starting with Gabriel Knight retrospective by Pete Davison.
[url=/en/editorial/month_of_activision_gabriel_knight_retrospective/][/url]Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is placing players in the role of the titular Gabriel Knight, a wannabe author who runs a struggling bookstore in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a spate of grisly murders that locals believe to be voodoo-related leads our reluctant hero to investigate. Along the way, Gabriel discovers a number of horrifying truths about himself, about a woman named Malia Gedde, whom he quickly becomes infatuated with, and about the murders themselves.

Oops, 'retorspective'. Speaking for the community, we forgive you.
edit: fixed before the grammar goblins got here...and thanks for the article.

But is eventually GK4 based on paranormal exp as suggested in Grace' s laptop in GK3?

Nice retrospective! I'm looking forward to the rest of the Trilogy on GOG, especially GK3 which I never played before.

Nice article, made me want to rush back home and fire it up. I'm really excited about part 2. That was one of the adventure games I most wanted to play but never did.

Heh, I want to play GK, but I have so many games in my backlog (just bought Arcanum by the way) that it gives me a perfect reason to wait for the release of GK2 and 3... and the related week-end promo! ^_^

This sure does bring back some memories! I was obsessed with Gabriel Knight for 4 years. The series inspired me to buy several books, make artwork, and travel to Germany. Many games get billed as "mature" these days, but GK is one of the very few series that actually *is*, in the truest sense of the word. I don't think I'll ever play a game again I'll love as much as Gabriel Knight.

That's a great article I'd love to see more of them in the future, about games and publishers featured on the site.
The Gabriel Knight games are brilliant, and despite owning them on discs and them working quite problem-free on my computer, I definitely will re-buy them all as GOG versions. They are some of my favourite games of all time. The story, the music, the puzzles; there aren't many adventure games that have it all so right.
P.S. I hope GOG get their hands on the GK1 "introductory" comic book as well as the "Making of" documentary on the game CD and release them as an extra. :)

*SPOILERS GK1 DAY 6*
There is a puzzle on Day 6 that involves Beneigts (or however you spell the New Orleans pastry). This segment is way hyper and too fast for you to complete the puzzle and I can't progress. Any tips? Do I need to cofigure DOS BOX somehow?

No - just stick around and wait a while :)
I did it in two steps.
[SPOILER]
Stand by the desk ready to go through when he starts dozing off - then wait just inside until he does it again then use key on Mosleys door :D

I really can't wait for Gabriel Knight 2, as I am one of the few people who really love FMV games (when done correctly AKA Tex murphy series).
As for the speeding up of day 6, theres a few fixes
Option 1) get CPUKiller3 and set it to about 30/40% (I did this and it worked well)
Option 2) wait till the deskman is asleep and sneak past.
Either way works well. what bugs me is I was still 6 points off full score...

Try being only 1 point from the max score!!
Bugs the hell out of me, especially since I have no idea, what I missed, lol.
