Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

After playing GK2, I simply had to play part 1. I kind of disliked the tomb scene at the end of the game. Also, a huge hellish crevice at the finale seemed a bit too much. But most of the game really had me hooked. Liked part 2 better though ;)

LOVE SIERRA GAMES GLAD TO HAVE FOUND GOG

Its a great game,the graphics are real old school. kinda remind me of the NES 8bit style of Mario Bros. and Gauntlet. But what it lacks in graphics, it makes up with a great story line that keeps you glued til the climatic ending.

The story is great, and the characters super deep. The UI didn't age all that well, forcing you to figure out which of the 3 perfectly reasonable action buttons for a particular situation does what you want. I tested it on Linux with wine, and it crashes quite often. But I was already used to saving very often in Sierra games. Since it's wrapped with ScummVM I don't see why they didn't include a native Linux binary, it's essentially free...
