Yep. Also included is a "graphics mode setup" EXE which allows you to alter the most common DOSBox settings.

doctorfrog posted:Is it possible to play Duke Nukem in co-op mode? Either with or without eduke32? Absolutely. I played through Duke3d and Blood with a friend using GOG's DOSBox multiplayer setup, since eDuke32's MP component proved to not work as well. We had to use a virtual LAN to get connected to each other.

Autumncomet posted:How well does Beyond Good & Evil play on Windows 8? I loved it on the ps2 and I have the strangest urge to play again. Runs just as well on my Windows 7 machine as it does on my Windows 8 machine. You'll need to change some of the video options to fix the flickering lights issue, though.

Genpei Turtle posted:Did they fix the Diplomacy bug? 'Cause if not it's still not worth playing compared to the DOS version. Not to my knowledge. The source code is never available for editing. However, we did fix the text scrolling issue that's been a nuisance since the CD release. Mierenneuker posted:Not directly GOG related, but there's a new game music bundle featuring mostly soundtracks from early nineties video games. GOG frequently has soundtracks as a bonus, but it's nice having them in high quality and properly tagged. I assume most of the earning will also actually go to people like Lee Jackson, Bobby Prince and Alexander Brandon. Dropped $60 for this! Hoping for Blake Stone and other Prince classics.

scamtank posted:I use a weird DosBox custom hackjob that GoG installers either don't recognize as an option or force me to install a new emulator no matter what. I check the specific .conf files for any really weird settings or flags that they deemed necessary, trim the fat and then just replace it all with a MOUNT.BAT to save some typing. I use DOSBox Game Launcher and edit the configuration from there. It's not always successful, though. For instance, using OpenGLNB as the renderer in the latest Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold 2.0.0 installer they've released, the screen is tiny, with or without scaling. This was a non-issue in the 1.0.0 installer.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:I think this is a problem with playing the in-game videos. You could try adding -nointro to the command line of the shortcut. This is probably it. I had to install a custom codec pack (Shark007) to get SWAT 3 running without issues on Windows 8.

Red Mundus posted:Quick question about SWAT 3. Finally got around to playing it. I'm enjoying it but I find the AI to be really, really, well... dumb. Were there any mods that improved the base game or AI? Google is showing me pretty much nothing but I vaguely remember a huge mod community back in the day. The Last Resort mod is what comes to mind when I think of a definitive SWAT 3 mod.

doctorfrog posted:I personally gave away three games a few years back during a monster sale, and received one, but that only really happened once. GOG kind of engenders an impulse to pad out your personal library, with a sense of ownership that I think is absent from Steam, plus there are just wayyyyy more Steam users than GOG, and a far bigger catalog, so you see a lot more gift giving there. I'm at 65 gifted and 320 owned GOGs. Those are only going to grow as the sale continues.

spider wisdom posted:Yes but tell me whyy Okay. Crusader pushed boundaries in the classic Origin Systems way. The creative drive, technologically, how gamers received it. They wanted to oust Doom. (Hence, "non-stop action from a different perspective.") If I'm not mistaken, No Remorse was the first 640x480 video game. High quality tracker music was unheard of in 1995, too. Crusader—No Remorse especially—molds together all its parts well. Aside from technical limitations, the gameplay is smooth. It's smooth in a Doom-like way, but not as fast or refined. It's about running through rooms, collecting keycards, and blowing dudes in space armor up. My favorite aspect is the hilariously unwarranted story. The universe is really thought-out for an isometric shooter: an Earth history, the rise of world-size corporations, the colonization of foreign planets. I have design documents of the games; they were really serious in fleshing out a believable universe. As I said, that classic Origin mentality. They even went so far as to tie in Wing Commander and System Shock together with the Crusader universe. (There exists a polarizing argument on if this was just some Origin inside joke or a serious attempt to weave all their games together. Most likely a joke.) I love the progression of the Silencer's deception and reception when he joins the Resistance movement. Richard Cobbett touches on this in this retrospective review. The FMV sequences are complete cheese, but how Origin did things back then. Regarding controls: they make complete sense in the way the movement and gameplay is structured. Whether you like them or not is another story. Personally, I never had issues with them. Takes some major adjusting. At this point, I enjoy it as a historical piece: the attitude of game designers and what gamers wanted in the mid-1990s. They're still fun games if you like setting people on fire, too.

THE BAR posted:Think we'll ever get Freelancer on GOG? I haven't seen it in stores since it got released, and my old CD has been put in the no-touchy drawer of games that are valuable to me, and that I'll never find replacements for. Perhaps. The GOGs scheduled to be released for the rest of 2013 are impressive.

They're all surprisingly great games. Still some of the best horror games I've played! That one bit in 5 Days (you know the one) still gets to me.
