Oh no-I BAAGed again-GOG has a large collection of older "dark Side" games for $3.99. I got Gothic 3 and Aquanox 2.( only $2.39)
Has anyone some comments on these?

My comments are just ....

Well Done GOG !!

and

Well Done YOU !!

Thanks for letting us know bigmamma!

Have you played Gothic 3, Bigmamma? I heard GOG had some problems with it. It's one I would love to play again.

Hello Barb-
No I have never played it, but recently finished (finally) Gothic 2,enjoyed it very much and the reviews of #3 are good-wonder what kind of problems?
Don't know when I'll be ready to spend time in another huge-world RPG again.

I bought Gothic 3 from GOG this morning and I have been playing for a few hours already. It plays better than the CD I had!!! A black screen for a few minutes the first time you start the game but starts perfectly every time after that. In Cape Dunn now and enjoying it very much.

Jacline. So glad it is working well for you

Thanks, Jacline, I think I'll try it. Have you started it yet, Bigmomma? I played it when it first came out. I love all the Gothic games. I think the first one is my favorite.

Hi Barb and Jacline-
Glad to hear Gothic 3 is working! I havn't had any problems with GOG games. Right now I'm trying to get through Thief Gold, another old game from GOG.The extra level seems as big as a complete game,and I'm a slow player.
Gothic 3 next!

Onward and Upward

Barb, I'm going to transfer you Glitches as that seems to be where the techies hang out.

GOG are having their Christmas sale and have Witcher 2 for $7.50 for another 3 hours.

My computer can't play it! Otherwise I would buy it like a shot! Maybe when I have a computer that will play it, it will be at a very good price.

Thanks Anne2

Sharon, here's hoping you get to play it soon.

Wow! I saw NWN for 4.99 with all the addons and couldn't resist. Been many years since I played it and it's like a new game almost.

One of the advantages about a little memory loss is I can watch old movies that I've already seen and play old games that I've already played.
(Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most)

Oldman, I feel the same way.

I picked up the Gabriel Knight games plus the two Phantasmagorias. Oldies but goodies. The Spousal Unit and I used to play computer games together, especially the Zork-style Infocom games and Myst. Phantasmagoria was the last one we completed together before he moved on to other things.

I must have 30 games here that I've never played, some old and some new. I'm going to have to ban myself from playing BG2 again for another five years. But a little game of Gabriel Knight would be okay.

Hagatha, have fun and I hope you enjoy it.

Will do.

I'm interested to hear that the GOG version of Gothic 3 plays better than the disk version. I had to give up a short way in because my computer of the day couldn't play it without serious lags. Maybe I could play it now. I do love the first two Gothics.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Just joined GoG and downloaded four oldie goldies

Have fun, manxman; it's a great sale!

Which ones did you get?

Both Phantasmagorias, Sanitarium and Alone in the Dark. I already have the "old" copies but just felt like downloading them onto my new Windows 7 laptop so I could replay them at my leisure

That's why I LOVE GOG!

Yes, it's nice to be able to play without endless tinkering.
