Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell®

Good game, undesirable version.

Just a warning to my fellow retro PC enthusiasts out there; The version of the game you get here is the 1.3 version that has removed EAX functionality completely. The option will remain greyed out in the options menu, and even if you manually set EAX=True in the options menu you will only get basic sound. This is a major bummer! Great game otherwise, too bad about the missing retro hardware compatibility.

DOOM 3

Useless. Get the non-BFG edition instead

This is the Doom 3 you know and love, but with unneeded gameplay tweaks and texture changes. What really soured things for be though was that Windows XP and EAX compatibility has been axed in this edition, making the BFG edition completely useless on retro systems with hardware accelerated sound. Should GOG ever release the original version I'll chuck this abomination aside and never touch the BFG edition again. Until then I am SOL until I find my old optical disk version, which I would actually rather be searching for in the attic than spend my time playing this downgraded version.
