I know this is a pretty minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but for the sake of completion (such as special cases like using DOSBox or running the game on an old 486 someone might have lying around), would it be possible to add the game's original executable file to the download? Using ScummVM works fine, but having some options for us advanced users would be welcome.

Again, this is minor, but I thought I'd make the request if it could be done.

I second this. I think all GOG.com games should ideally come with the original .exe's

Thanks! For the most part, GOG is very good about packaging in all the original files, so most games that default to using ScummVM still include the .exe. Beneath a Steal Sky is the only exception I can think of.

You can find the CD Version and the Floppy Version at ScummVM, though.

Unfortunately, those downloads also don't include the original executables, just the files needed to run it via ScummVM.

I second this, too. Original Games have to be rereleased in Full Versions!!

As I haven't found a Reqest like this, I've added one by myself...
