I bought Messiah a few years back and loved it, even if my machine at the time could barely run the thing. I could never get it to work on WinXP, or I it seemed like I could and it would always crash after a certain point.
If what you say is true, that this thing will work on XP and has been tweaked as such.. then yes, I will be a very happy dude.
At any rate, stellar site -- best wishes.

Oh yes me too. I've never had luck on Windows XP with this game. I've been looking forward to playing it for a very long time. Thanks GOG!

Works very nice, except little framerate slowdowns rarely (nothing that could disturb the enjoyment of playing). I have XP.

I manage to play it on xp sp3 months ago it ran quite well except for some punctual crash or fps slowdown, but totally playable

I played Messiah only a few years ago, and suffered the occasional random crash, but mostly it was absolutely fine. (Great game, too. Rather under-rated, I feel.)
However, there was one section where the game would crash consistently when I entered a particular area. Some searching online told me that it was a known sound bug, and the only solution was to run the game with sound *disabled*, play past the problem area in silence, save, quit, and start the game up with sound enabled again.
That worked, so keep it in mind in case you encounter such a persistent repeatable crash.

Good tip!

why dont people also mention their hardware specs? also, nobody wants to try it on vista?

Works fine for me on Vista 32. Resolution is my main gripe, as I have a wide screen TFT.

I'm using Vista64, and the game is unplayable for me. Every time there are flames in view (and sometimes when there aren't, I haven't found what triggers it yet), the framerate drops to around 2-4 FPS, making control of the character impossible.

Works on vista 32-bit. Had a bit of slowdown at one point, but that seemed to be cuz my virus scan had autostarted doing it's daily scan. And yes, there are a few random crashes here and there, but I save often anyways :P
