FIX FOR INTEL-GRAPHICS!!!

There is a simple fix to get Evil Genius to work with Intel graphics that I found on a forum! It goes as followes: *********** EVIL GENIUS *********** Runs. It's a little choppy, but playable. I have the textures set to high, particles at medium, and the other settings at low/off. The game actually won't work right after the install. You have to go into the "concept.cfg" file located at "Evil GeniusDynamicResourcesConfig", and turn the fullscreen option to "false". The game will start in a window, but it will start. After you start it once, you can exit the game, put the fullscreen option to "true", and the game will start fullscreen from then on. ************ Tried it with intel G41 express chipset (latest drivers) and can confirm that it works! :D

A Hidden Jewel

This is defiantly the best game I have downloaded from GOG.com. It is a game I never heard of, but after reading the description I knew I would love it. This game is very humorous and it makes fun of every spy film I can think of. The only issue I have with this game is that it is very repetitive, and I became bored with this game before I reached the end. But that being said it was still hours of game play before I actually became bored, which is more game play than you will get with almost all games today. My only wish is that this game was multiplayer.

Evil Genius

I picked this game up back in 2004 when it was first released, and I loved it, once I saw it on GOG, I HAD to get another copy(I gave my disc to a friend as a christmas present) Evil Genius is its own brand of fun, if you're into the whole wacky James Bond or Autin Powers style.
