So, is there an advantage here if you already have the games and don't have a problem changing discs?

It's to enable those that have been unable to play on there computers to be able to enjoy the games without tweaking. If you have it, played it and enjoy your copy, there is no reason to buy again. Ana

I have original versions of many oldies - which I re-play in turn on my two very old computers. But I'm well aware that these lovely old machines won't last forever  So I buy "tweaked" versions from GOG where possible as I know they will play easily on newer machines. Which benefits both GOG and ME !!

I have a question and hope someone can help me out. I purchased and downloaded GK2 without realizing that it's a 3g file. Did anyone with an XP have any problems installing it? I'm afraid to try! Why would an older game have such a huge file? I'm in need of enlightenment!

Gabriel Knight 2 has a lot of full motion video, hence the size. It works fine as long as you have enough space on your hard drive, why shouldn't it?

Thanks Zimbo. Eventhough I've got an old computer and have kept upgrading it, I still have a hard time understanding RAM and hard disk space. I can install the game now that I know it's hard drive space. I've read so many great reviews for GK2 and I'm happy that I can finally play it . Thanks again.

Next up for grab is the first 3 games of the Gobliiins series for only $5.99  And to clarify - it's the CD versions, not the original floppy.

They are old games, it's likely how they should be and not a problem you can fix. Ana

I think so, it hurts my eyes and others it does not bother at all. Here are some screenshots: Phantasmagoria Gabriel Knight Ana
