Privateer 2: The Darkening

Great game, shoddy port

I love this game and despite already owning two copies (DOS & Windows 95) i bought it here to see if GOG made it compatible with newer versions of Windows. Sadly, they just took the DOS version, slapped DosBox on it and wrapped the whole thing in their installer. This would be fair game if it ran decently. Sadly, it doesn't: In flight performance drops to single digit framerates as soon as any object fills more than a third of the screen. Increasing the DosBox speed on a powerful machine works to a certain degree but makes the game run way to fast without any objects in view. If you are thinking of buying the game here - don't, it's not worth it.
