TLC and Marian! TLC, I also took advantage of the $20 discount and got an Amazon Visa card. It doesn't cost anything and I only use it for Amazon purchases. Enjoy the game. It's one of my all-time favorites! Marian, especially von Glower! I needed a drool bib while playing the game . ! Susan

If this was a boxed game, it would be for Mac OS7 through OS9. The best way to play it on a modern Mac with OSX is to use the DOS version of Beast Within with the Mac version of DOSBox. You might check the box to see if the game is a hybrid disc (both DOS and Mac on the CD). GOG has it preconfigured. https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_knight_2_the_beast_within

Jenny, there was something weird on the first disc, when I opened it, there was a desktop and trash files both empty. And they sealed it (called it new) but the first disc was in a cd envelope, not in the case with the other discs. The contents of the cd was weird from what I'm used to seeing.

There should be 6 CD's. I don't know what the contents of the CD's would look like on a modern Mac. However the CD's can't be read on a PC (at least not without special software). It looks like there were separate Mac and DOS versions though, not a hybrid disc as I first thought. So if you're trying read the CD on a PC, you'd need a program like one of the programs mentioned here, which allows the PC to understand the file system used on old Mac CD's http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000676.htmAre you looking at the CD on a PC or on your Mac? I don't have a modern Mac handy to test, but I thought modern Macs could read the old Mac file systems. Apple is not great for backwards compatibility though, and it's possible you'd need a special program in order to read Mac CD's made for OS9 and earlier. If your Mac came with reinstall CD's (or DVD's), the program to read old Mac CD's may be on the CD's (just not installed by default). As for the CD being in a sleeve instead of the CD case, I notice I have an empty CD sleeve in the game box of my Mac version of GK2, so it's possible it originally came with one of the CD's in the sleeve. Not sure why they'd do that, but it's not unheard of.

I do have the Win version of the game. I guess I'll have to pull out my old monster laptop to play it. Thanks for all your info, Jenny. I was curious to see what the Win version would open up on my Mac, there was loads of stuff on it, compared to around 7 on the Mac version.
