nice! i own the original. thanks devs and gog for being great to your customers.

The problem is definitely on your end. Go to the GOG section Blade of Darkness forums and ask for help or contact GOG support. The game is running perfectly fine for me, installed it 5 minutes ago to check for myself.

This is one of the best games ever made.

Just because you can run the game does not necessitate it being on my end. It may have been in this case, but that is not always the situation.

Actually, no. Remastering a game means, accordingly, improving the visual quality: most often these are new textures in high resolution, sometimes more high-polygonal models, improving the engine (sometimes, up to completely new engine).
In this (BoD) case, none of this was done and we were honestly told that this is a re-release, not a remaster.

Yes, in today's game industry it's not uncommon for a game to be improved in terms of compatibility and re-released, calling it a remaster, but that's just misleading players. The meaning of the terms doesn't change because someone uses them incorrectly.

P.S.
I deliberately answered completely seriously, but I noticed the sarcasm. )

Free upgrade, nice.

Yow, Thanks for the link, Bonus that your avatar is one of my favorite presidents!

price is just way too high! its a ripoff

Great release! ^_^

thanks for the free upgrade boyz.

You do get access to the original version but it is not listed as a separate entry or download. It is bundled with the new versions installation in a folder named classic.

If you only knew when to stfu and gtfo. We all know you ain't buying shit here no matter the price.

Is there a way to get a separate copy of the legacy version in the library (other than creating time machine)?

I mean, those who bought the original version years ago get the new version for free, and those who bought the new version get a free copy of the original game (as it's done in Pathologic Classic HD). I think it will be fair to all your of customers.

Can you ask SNEG about it?

You get a copy in your install folder. It's contained in the classic folder. However, I could not get it to work and used a legacy version from previous installs. That runs. They have an updated version of nGlide that just never got the classic game to load for me, and updated renderers in the folder that none of them worked for me on Win 10. So whatever they've done and used, it's broken compatibility in WIN 10 for me, at least.

It's not what I'm asking for.
