Gremmi: So is it the DVD version or not?
Unfortunately it's the CD version. If we're able to get the DVD version working without hiccups, we'll replace the current installer with the DVD version. We can't give you any promises, though, as the matter is pretty complicated. :(

Well, since you won't be doing any disc swapping anyway, it's still the same game, only with bigger pixels in the FMV sequences... :)

Skystrider: Instant purchase for me, once again! :D
The DVD version of this game was the first DVD I ever owned by the way; it came free together with the CD version in my boxed copy, but I didn't get to play it until early 2000 though, since I did not have a DVD player in my computer before then. The difference between the two versions is purely cosmetic, the CD version already has a clearly defined picture, and the DVD version takes this one step further, and also improves a bit on the audio side as well, but the CD version is completely fine, really. There is still some pixelation, but a lot less than in the previous games.
As for the game itself, I would call this the most challenging game in the series. The puzzles and hidden items are just crazy sometimes, and I often found myself going for the ingame walkthrough more than I ever did in any of the prequels. In fact, without that hint system, I think Overseer would be one of the most challenging adventure game of all time. It is a great game though; one of the last great adventures of the 90's. Just be prepared for a real challenge here, if you are determined to go it on your own without help. I would definitely recommend it, as with all Tex Murphy games!

Man thats good :) Post it as a review please.

If you're holding back on purchasing Overseer because you're waiting for the DVD version, let me say that we don't realistically expect to update the installer from CD version to DVD version in the next couple of months. It doesn't mean that it will be forgotten given that the CD version is available, we will work on the DVD version workload permitting - there's lots of great titles that we're working on all the time =)

Longcat: Basically, all gog would have to do to make this work is to make their own working no cd patch for the dvd version.
So gog team, please contact me if you need any assistance. I know there is interest in the community for this, but your lack of interest in our progress so far has been somewhat disconcerting:P

Thanks for sharing info about how you got it to work :)
We've been following the thread and discussing internally as well as when we can, we work on the DVD version. We did say it will take time and it's not a priority. About to be released games take priority.. there's lots to do :) But we haven't forgotten about this.
Someone from our team will comment when they can, that's the best we can do at the moment ;)
