Quoting: LiamGOG provided me with a copy to try out, but sadly it doesn't seem to run. This is a first from GOG classic games that hasn't run and I have reached out to them to see what's up.

It loads DOSBox, then my screen goes black as DOSBox tries to run and then it dumps me back into the desktop in a really low resolution.

It looks like the game crashes on some machines when using 64 bit DOSBox. The workaround is to use the 32 bit DOSBox:

1. Go to the 'dosbox' subfolder in the game installation folder and edit the 'dosbox' script
2. Change the line 4 that says declare -r ARCH=`uname -m` to declare -r ARCH="i686"
3. Then you can run the game like usual using the 'start.sh' script or the shortcut on your desktop / in your menu.
4. You need 32 bit DOSBox dependencies in order to use it, on Debian/Ubuntu that will be the following packages (and the deps that they will pull from repo):
libasound2:i386 libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libsdl-net1.2:i386 libsdl-sound1.2:i386 libsdl1.2debian :i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 zlib1g:i386

I believe the fix from GOG will roll out shortly ;)

It's very cool and also kinda hard (meaning - I suck at it!). Steampunk machines of death, here I come!

Soooo... The Beamdog announcement is Icewind Dale 2 Enhanced Edition? The only classic from the series they are missing so far.

Quoting: ShmerlI hope they'll make it 64-bit and will avoid the notorious big XFS partition / no LFS bug.

Dude, who cares.

Although the sample is still pretty small, I'm very glad this survey exists and provides quite a lot of useful information!

I got myself this tiny gem: https://waynetron.itch.io/birdsketball [External Link]

The small singleplayer campaign made me laugh, and the game itself is fun to play in local multiplayer! So get it and gather your friends or family :)
