Hi all I came across this mod by accident yesterday and it looks like it might be of interest to many. I havent' yet tried it so can't vouch for it, but as soon as I have (project coming up) I will report back.

This is the main page of the mod with installation instructions and also another mod for the cut scenes. I tried it and it worked great. Here is a gameplay video. It uses whatever Windows desktop resolution you are using, which for most people nowadays is 1920x1080. That's a big improvement since the original game runs at 640x480 only. Other than resolution, character models look much smoother than the blocky ones in the original game. Background graphics and cut scenes are also more detailed, but to a lesser extent since upscaling them doesn't work as well on them. But the biggest improvement is that the game is now less prone to crashes and other compatibility issues on modern PCs.

I'll say thanks for the information and that I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it, but I can't say it looks interesting since I don't know what I'm looking at . Here is a comparison showing the improvement of the HD mod: Link

OK. A question from Mystery Manor. For those of you who played TLJ with the mod, did you install on Windows 10 or 8.1? And did you install from discs or from GOG?

So, I guess the question is, is TLJ one of those older games that won't install from disks on Windows 10? I had the disks, but one of them blew up in my old DVD drive!

Thanks, I have a question. Do you install both from each? Main Mod: MEGA | ModDB
FMV Pack: MEGA | ModDB
and for the ResidualVM . Do you make a folder in Windows and place it there? example C:ResidualVM or in your game file?
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran

Thanks, I have a question. Do you install both from each? Main Mod: MEGA | ModDB
FMV Pack: MEGA | ModDB You only need to download each file once, from either the ModDB or the MEGA website. You should end up with 2 files: TLJHD_1.02.zip is the Main Mod TLJHD_FMV_1.1.zip is the FMV Pack and for the ResidualVM . Do you make a folder in Windows and place it there? example C:ResidualVM or in your game file? You don't need to put it in the game folder, any folder will do. C:\ResidualVM will work fine. That's the name i used. After you unzip it to the folder, you need to run the residualvm.exe file, and follow the instructions given for how to add the game to ResidualVM. Once you get it set up, it would probably be helpful if you created a shortcut to residualvm.exe on your desktop.
