Cool! I just bought "Phantasmagoria" on GOGs winter sale (it´s still on sale), I have wanted to replay that game again for some time, since ironically while it´s one of the latter Sierra adventure titles it´s probably the one I remember the least.

I remember loving their movies back when I was a kid, sadly though it´s been a looong time since I last saw one of them. I think they haven´t shown any on my available tv-channels for at least a decade or maybe two, haven´t seen any on DVD for rental in that time either, or on Netflix in the last few years.

Will absolutely buy, but I think I´ll wait for a little bit of a sale, euro 19.99 is a tad on the expensive side for a side-scrolling "beat´em up" (not really a genré I find that enjoyable)

I had really given up on title actually, seems that for once the whole "better late than never", might be coming true. I used to love "Pirates!" back in the day and I adored the improved "Pirates! Gold" as well, the pirate-themed "Risen 2 Dark Waters" was another title I also became very fond of.

So, I´ll pick this one up as well. Although, I´ll wait until it´s more or less officially released on linux.

I've played for around 20 minutes and as said, the game seems to work fine. It does seem a tad lacking in environmental detail still but that's certainly to be expected from an early-access title, I'll give it some more time tomorrow but my initial impression is that it feels/plays rather similar to "Wasteland 2".

Oh, I also bought "Black Mirror" that was released today and that game *does* feel polished & finished. A beautiful and interesting adventure title, tomorrow will be busy ;-) .

Sounds like a really nice & enjoyable update and as for the delay, as long as they are working on it and getting it right, everything is fine by me.

Kudos for the apology, if only everyone who promises linux-ports and never deliver did the same thing, I would be much more forgiving. (and less cranky)

Really great game, the only thing I wasn´t completly happy with were the "mind hacking" episodes, when the whole experience became a tad too "trippy/psychedelic" for my taste. It felt less like I was exploring parts of someones mind and more like I was experimenting with a mix of highly illegal drugs.

There are *SO* many games there that I wish they´d do the same for, if even for no other reason than improving the statistics of available "linux-titles".

I was just considering buying the "Wing Commander-bundle" (WC 1-5, WC: Privateer, WC: Armada) yesterday, a bunch of games that I know for the most part works great with dosbox but the fact that it was only flagged as windows games, irked me so much that I abstained.

I mean tecnically they are *NOT* windows games anymore, I doubt you could get most of them to function well under win 7,8 or 10 these days. Today they are dosbox games plain and simple, availble for whatever systems that can use the program.

OMG, OMG, OMG! This sounds almost too good to be true. I really liked the original and played the expansions as well (Hordes of the Underdark was great) not to mention the sequel from Obsidian. Yet I never dared to hope I'd see a new updated version, I was sure Beamdog would never move beyond the isometric "infinity-engine" games.

I'll pre-order this for certain.

Interesting! I bought the game at a sale but I didn't play for very long, for one thing I had other titles that beckoned and then there was the fact that there seemed to be a ton of keyboard-shortcuts to learn and I really missed full mouse-support.

Hopefully, this remake will be a bit more "user-friendly".

I'm really damn eager to play this! The first game was really good but sadly I never really connected so much with the characters, nor did I really get sucked into the main story with the "stillborn babies". In fact, I enjoyed the new characters and main quest in the two "Whitemarsch expansions" more than the main game.

However, I greatly enjoyed the PoE-gameplay itself, the character classes as well as the expansive world and many unique locations. So, hopefully with this sequel it will be unconditional love on my part. (fingers crossed)
