Great. Thank you very much!

Thank you. This makes the release even more worthwhile.

If you get really annoyed with pixel hunting and dying in point & click games, go for the Director's Cut.

I never got the fascination for the original version. What's so great about it over the Director's Cut?

Thank you GOG, much appreciated!

Heh, that would be because people here tend to be interested in the actual classics, not so much in their adaptations to modern standards (which , sadly, more often than not tend to hurt the title rather than helping it).

This is great! Thanks for the effort, gog.

1. Those of us who played the original tend to notice things missing in the DC. There are missing animations, missing music tracks and sound effects and some toned-down violence, as well. One example: stepping into that club in Syria and not hearing any music at all felt just wrong to me.
2. Nico's sub-plot seems promising enough at first, but it ends a little too abruptly, for my taste. And since it doesn't really add that much to the plot....let's just say I liked the concept of expanding her character, but I didn't like the execution that much.
3. Dave Gibbons' artwork doesn't fit. Now, don't get me wrong. I love his style. It's just that in this case it seems out of place compared to the art direction in the rest of the game. Besides, why do all characters except for George and Nico look like caricatures, and why are they constantly staring like they've seen a ghost?

Now, all of that doesn't make the DC a bad game. Far from it. Those are simply things that bother me about the DC. And so I'm happy and thankful that GOG gives us the original version.

Don't get me wrong - inferior (IMO) or not the DC is still very good. It's hard to truly mess up a classic, after all, but it simply didn't gel with me. I thought the extended storyline with Nicole simply didn't add much aside from extra time, and was shown up by the original content. I didn't like the portraits during conversations, I (especially) didn't like the jumps in audio quality that went on throughout the game, nor the same with the visual character sprites (including video cut-scenes, too). Not to mention it felt dumbed down with the hotspots issue and the mini-game puzzles.

Incidentally, does anybody remember the original installer for BS with the Breakout clone as it copied across the files? I was useless at is as obviously there was lots of lag, but I've not really seen anything else like it for the PC. Reminds me of Tekken for the PlayStation with Galaga.

Edit: Aaaah, seriously, one minute late to address the points? Blah.

The installer is slightly weirdly set up, there's an extra subfolder for the launch icon in the start menu.

Yes it's easy to fix manually, so it's no biggie. And thanks for releasing the original as well.

When I launch ScummVM generally it does indeed do this.

There you go, that's how you do it.

Well done.

Thanks a ton to Revolution and you guys as well.

Is this version also tested for Windows 7 and such?

It's ScummVM, not much that can go wrong. It doesn't even try adding an icon to GE though, if that matters to you (so no junk to clean up, but no new shiny icon either)

Try running the game as Admin, and/or uninstaling and reinstalling it to anywhere but Program Files.

And thanks GoG, you just keep getting better.
