I nearly cry

Today i just discovered Gog.com selling DR! I can't believe this game is actually still played, dang! I used over 6 years on this game, and still have the CD and it still works, but with an expansion, i never knew such was created! i'm a super big fan of this, i remember how much i was disappointed when i got to play with DR2, DR1 is the best, i can't wait to maul you people in multi player, BRING IT!
