Nergal01: No, no, no, no, WE have to thank YOU guys! Major thumbs up! :D

borsook: There is one curious thing - why is the German installer 3 times as big as the English one?

RS1978: Im Hauptverzeichnis von REALMS OF ARKANIA 1 (der Name, brrr!) findest du zwei PDF-Dateien namens "manual" und "passcodes"; beide enthalten die vollständigen Passworttabellen.

RS1978: Thanks again for this fantastic update!

But I have two questions:

First, there's a gamebreaking bug just before the final battle in the original version of ROA 3. There exists a patch for this issue, but it seems to be incomaptible with DOSBox. The last German DOSBox release used a special freeware tool (JEMM) to circumvent this issue. I've tried a save game for the certain situation and it seems the bug is still there in the GOG version.

Second, there was an additional patch which included an online cluebook for ROA 3. All available German releases are patched with this very useful official tool, that allows you to consult detailed ingame maps and hints with the shortcut ALT+H. Any chance we will see this in the GOG release? I could send you the data.

EDIT: According to the German README in the GOG game directory of ROA 3 the hint book should be integrated in this version, but it seems not to be installed properly.

RS1978: I will do so, thanks for your reply. :)

RS1978: Please don't, I love this unique element of surprise! (Oh, there were many great unexpected updates here on GOG: the talkie versions of MM4+5, the expansions for the Wing Commander series, the German language versions of the Gothic series, Book of Unwritten Tales and now Realms of Arcania. And I have to admit it now: I love your new circular game icons, they look all very handsome on my desktop, much better than the older ones.) :)

RS1978: I'm afraid these are not part of my game library here on GOG, but you know all your effort is highly appreciated. :)

(By the way: What's about with the much better looking windows version of Phantasmagoria 2? I was able to play the German CD version with a fan made patch very well on my Windows 64 bit PC. Okay, the game's crap, but anyway...)

Apropos: It's always very nice to see how excited you're about your own updates. This is what I call real enthusiasm for business. :p

RS1978: Yes, I've read this in another thread and was very impressed about GOG's efforts to buy it from a Brazilian internet store. I don't understand a single word of Brazilian Portuguese, but it's just great to see a game with all its language versions here. In my opinion the release history of a game is only completed if it finally appears in GOG's catalogue. I see you not only as merchants, but as curators. (And I hope there will be more AAA titles in future.) :)

HiPhish: There is no music in the first game. I can't even select a music card in the sound setup, only a sound card for the bleep effects. The second game is fine.

derboo: Realms of Arkania 1+2 is marked as updated again today. What's been changed?

Retroreku: Very cool! I have got a question, wouldn´t it be a good idea to include the german versions of the manual as well? Because at least Realms of Arkania 1 asks copy-protection questions related to the manual...
