You see where this is going – it didn’t work. I’ve been able to install and play the GOG versions of Alexander and Hannibal but it wasn’t until today I tried installing The Great Battles of Caesar. Since then, I repurchased the game through GOG. Having mentioned it online, I was told the the GOG version resolved the issues that the game had. If you’ve followed my Great Battles saga from the beginning, you’ll know I was shying away from reinstalling the game because I recalled suffering through stability problems. Now let’s move from the general to the specific. The uniformly positive experiences I’ve had with their games mean I’m willing to toss money at them without scrutinizing what I’m getting and why. I’ve even done it to avoid the hassle of running off of my old CD. I’ve done it to get a reliably up-to-date patch or a pre-configured DOSBox setup.

Are they distracting themselves from their original and successful model? I try to mostly ignore the newly-developed games which, based entirely on superficial impressions, are of a decidedly lower-quality than their re-releases.īesides buying old games that I may or may not feel the urge to play anytime soon I am apt (as are others, based on comments) to repurchase games that I already own. Lately, they also seem to be trying to break into the business of publishing new releases, from which I have also taken a bite. In other cases, they simply repackage a game no longer being sold by the original publisher. Their mainstay is resurrecting old games that are no longer compatible with the latest in operating systems and getting them to work. I’ve bought quite a few items from them over the years – certainly far more than I’ve played.
