Hi,
at first, allow me some non-technical words:
I wanna thay "Thank you", that gog puts the Postal-Series in their catalogue. Maybe the Postal-Games are no "good" games (esp. Part 1), but these are games you can TALK, DISCUSS and ARGUE about! And you can't say this about every game.
Especially Postal 2 is a wonderfull satire about the American (?) way of life, and the main-quest "BUY SOME MILK" is simply hilarious!
Despite the game qualities of part 1, I really like "obscure" games, and I think it's great to have a legal opportunity to get this titles via gog.
But now to my technical questions:
I own both games in their reatail-versions. Will there be any technical differences between the retail- and the download-versions? Of course both will run without a CD and I'm sure, the game-content will be identical to the reatail-versions.
But especially with Postal 2, I have some problems with the ingame-speed. Since I own a duel-core processor, the game is much to fast.
Will the gog-version be capable to adjust the ingame-speed? In one of the Postal 2-Mission-CDs I also have problems with the game-menu - I can see the background, but I can' t see the menu-entrys (like "Start Game", "Options" etc.).
After some adjustments in the graphiic-options and game-ini-files I've managed at least the main-game to work (more or less), but when the gog-versions will get rid of this malfunctions I would be happy to buy this games again.
I hope I've made myself understandable. As you've surely allready noticed - english is not my mother-language.... :)
