The quality of the download can only be as good as the quality of the game. These are not remakes of the game, they are the original game tweaked to run on your newer machines. Unfortunately they have no control about how the game was made.

Thank you for the info ana.

I haven't played alot of these either, but the pixelated pictures give me such a headache I just can't play them even though they'll run on my computer. I'm sorry you can't enjoy them either Doreen.

Sorry, I missed your question earlier, the screenshots were of Phantasmagoria 1.

I downloaded the first Gabriel Knight game - Sins of the Fathers. But I am so disappointed just after starting to play the game.
The sound is fine but the picture seems to be composed of a fuzzy mosaic.
Before I ask for help on the glitches forum or go back to GOG, can you tell me if this was how the original game looked. Perhaps I shouldn't expect too much of a game this old.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

mreyl, see the posts above you. We were just discussing this. I comnbined the threads.

Thanks Ana,
Glad it's not just my computer or something I'm doing wrong. Disappointing though as these GK games have such a good press.
Guess I'll play until I can't stand it anymore.

Regarding the several comments about GK2 Beast Within-I did fairly recently play it on WINXP with no problems. The game window was smaller than usual, but everything worked fine. Great game.

I avoided GK1 specifically because of how I suspected the pixel-art visuals would look on my monitor, but I can't say I've had a problem with either GK2 or Phantasmagoria. That is, I noticed the less-than-perfect video quality but it hasn't prevented me from making anything out.

Those affected may want to try windowed mode (Alt+Enter, in-game), if you haven't already. It might actually be easier on the eyes!

Marie, I moved your post to here.

And now - "drum roll"

The Syberia series
