I downloaded mine from GOG at 3 am this morning before I went to work, and it was waiting for me when I got home. They've done a fantastic job with it. I love the decorative border on the sides. Makes it a lot more interesting than just looking at black bars. The lighting, new characters and music are all fantastic. I did run into one bug. It crashed on me right after the first year transition scene, right before the Rubacava chapter. I went back to test it again, and the same thing happened. Luckily, if I skip the scene, I can bypass the issue. So for now, I just save, watch the scene, then reload and skip it. It's a pain, and hopefully they'll be a patch for it later, but it's no big deal. Other than that, I'm loving it so far. @Laura, I make sure to have Glottis sing that song every time I play.

I'm loving it. Believe it or not,I'm finding it harder as a point and click game. I've played the original a dozen times. Ok I'm off to find my old walkthrough. PS....Venus What new characters are you talking about ? Cathy

Hey Cathy, I had to go back and re-read my comment. I meant "new character models," but clearly my proofreading skills were lacking in that post. Really, I don't know whether they're actually new character models, or just polished versions of the old ones, but either way, they look great. There are no new characters. Sorry about the confusion.

I actually prefer the original keyboard control. It gives the game a bit more personality, directly controlling Manny while keeping tabs on his head direction for hotspots... And those extra icons are distracting to me...

You can use the keyboard if you like, everyone can choose how they like to play. Ana

I'm doing the happy dance! Manny isn't "pinball machining" around and I can concentrate on the game, not which key to use. I especially like the inventory - it actually works!

It's awesome Drac, what a great trip back in time. So much better with the new controls and I'm laughing my way through.

I was cracking up at the the balloon dude with his off-color comments! If you don't pay attention to all the dialogue, you will miss some great stuff.

I remember a lot of people (myself included) having trouble running up the conveyor belt under the water. I wonder if that problem was addressed? If so, I probably will buy it even though I still have the dvd of the game.

I am happy about this news and will be buying it in the near future from GOG, also happy it will work on Windows 8, just curious, a friend of mine still has XP and the Specs. from GOG and Steam both state that the Requirements are for Vista and Up, has anybody here tried or is using the Remastered version on XP? and if yes, does it work without a hitch?.
It also states that you need 4GB of RAM, has anybody tried this with say, 3 GB Rams or less?
Thanks Ray

The other question would be, "does the XP have enough video card." Someone down in Glitches was saying the video requirements are pretty hefty.

If so, I probably will buy it even though I still have the dvd of the game. That was a well known bug in the original version. (I still have my original too, Judith ] But surely a "re-master" will have sorted it

Hi Bernie , Thanks for the info, much appreciated, with your answer combined with the answers from other members that pretty well says it all for XP, a good thing my friend wants me to upgrade his system to Windows 7, he was hesitant to do so for a long time but he is now convinced that it is time to move on.

It's funny how games keep us game nuts moving on in technology, however reluctantly! I've upgraded more than one PC to keep up with new game requirements!

Well, sometimes it's purely the cost of upgrading or replacing a computer that holds us back

I know - I had to wait quite awhile to be able to do the upgrade for Witcher 2.

I love playing adventure games like Gemini Rue on my ipad mini and Gray Matter on my PC Netbook.
