:)Thanks to that wonderful site: GOG, I have started a collection of classic older games that I missed from early to late 90's. I discovered the world of computer games around 2001 and havn't stopped "Baaging" yet! I enjoyed "Beneath a Steel Sky", futuristic, humerous, and good story. I really don't mind the outdated graphics. Am now playing "The Dig", a great Sci Fi space adventure. humerous dialogue, fantastical environments and good storytelling. It shows up on many favorites lists and I can see why. Since GOG's latest sale, my Oldies collection now includes: Indy Jones Fate of Atlantis Sanitarium 7th Guest Waking Mars Project Eden Time to play them as well as the new ones-

You have some classics in that list Mad Yes [And they are listed in alphabetical order because I tend to choose a "letter" and then play some beginning with that letter (one after the other) before choosing another letter and doing the same with that  ]

Venus, IMO Gabriel Knight 2 is as good as it gets in computer gaming. At the time it came out I thought it was the best game I had ever played. The first game was awesome too but the graphics were limited. The plot of the third game was great but I remember having trouble getting past the computer part of the game. I would of never finished without a walkthrough. I just loaded up Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness.  After that I am going to replay some of my favorites which are the funny games like Discworld 2, Day of the Tentacle, Simon the Sorcerer, and the Monkey Island games.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

THere have been talks about the possibility of remaking Full Throttle, and making another sequel, but all that is on hold for now.

I play Full Throttle from the original CD release on my Win98SE machine  It IS still obtainable from Amazon UK - and is advertised to run in "Windows 2000 / 95 / 98 / Me and XP". [I don't think I've ever seen it available in any other format.]

Thanks Mad. I was just hoping that it had been tweaked by someone for download on newer machines. I'm pretty sure that it is on the wish list at GOG.com.
