Yay!! Does this mean I don't have to put in my cds of the game and struggle with DOSbox?  Hope so! Tracy

Traveler, that is a very intriguing opener.
Tracy, I thinks so. Are you going to try it?

This is, arguably, my all-time favorite game. I bought it spontaneously at the store one day when I was a teenager, after having played the demo, and a part of me was concerned because it was an impulse buy and that never goes well.
Boy, was I wrong! To this day, Realms of the Haunting remains one of my most memorable game experiences. Whenever I ultimately find the time and money to finish Stonewall Penitentiary, you will find that it is, in many ways, a tribute to Realms of the Haunting.

Traveler, that is a very intriguing opener. What I liked about it was how well it established a dark uneasy atmosphere before you even got into gameplay. GOG's promo said it's "a first-person perspective game with quite a bit of shooting involved, but is also an adventure game and has some RPG elements" so I was of two minds about trying it but the intro sold me. Now all I need is some aspirin for my fingers and a computer. Soon! Gil. Guybrush, there is an unofficial website where you can find hints and a walkthrough on the game. Maybe that will help you. They also have saved games but I have no clue if those will work in the GOG version.
