[Archived] Time for a new community playthrough?
And wasn’t Inherit the Earth popular last time? Shouldn’t that be on the list?
This looks pretty interesting, I’ll be up for playing this too.
I’d still be interested in Inherit the Earth.
Also, I guess I could try to lead the Fahrenheit playthrough if it got chosen. Which isn’t saying much, since it’s clearly not going to happen…
You can put me down for Inherit the Earth, too.
It’s on my list of games to play anyway… though not as high up as IHNMAIMS.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
I have GOG versions of both Zork: Grand Inquisitor & Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon - both have installed perfectly on my desktop Win7 64 bit & I have played through about an hour of each one just to get a feel of the games (having never played them before) I haven’t encountered any problems with either of them so far ...
Not sure whether this message was intended for me or Sefir. But my experience is what it is. I’m happy that others have had better.

they toll for thee.

Well neither rtrooney - the experiences of both of you is useful info for anyone thinking of downloading from GOG but it’s also useful to know that the problems are not specific to Win7 64 bit in general & the 2 games I mentioned do work on some systems.
Tim - before you bring up what I said on the LSLR thread, yes, I will play a CPT of FPFP regardless of what it takes to make it work.
Frankly, I had no intention of bringing that up… 
But FPFP could make a good candidate in the future (when we haven’t played another Josh Mandel game quite so recently)... 
My desktop is also Win7 - 64bit. I would guess that about 25% of GOG games are unplayable on my system. The games install perfectly, but have other technical issues.
Yikes, now I hope I’ll get my GOG versions to work once I get around to them (which isn’t really that far off)...

I appreciate that.

There are any number of reasons why this might happen. The first question is, “Are your video drivers up to date?” If the answer is Yes, that may be the problem. I know that happened with Scratches although that wasn’t a GOG problem. My sample rate isn’t that great. I’ve only dl’d eight games and two didn’t work. Ergo 25%. 
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.
Depending on availability and playability, I’ll cast a vote for ITE. I’ve never played it before. So it should be fun. And…it’s available on GOG, which should be interesting to see if I can get above 75%. Assuming that ITE is the game.

A bit late but I’m in for Discworld (has a leader been confirmed?), Indigo Prophecy, both Tex games, Inherit the Earth.
I might play I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream but I won’t vote for it because I don’t know if I can get it.
Discworld (has a leader been confirmed?
No, not yet. Sinse there is no word from millenia thus far, anyone who wants to take the hard job for Disc, is free to do so…

Sefir, please add a vote for Inherit the Earth from me as well.

I don’t know if Harlan Ellison actually has the rights for the game though, it’s based upon one of his short stories and he helped design it, but that doesn’t necessarily means he has the rights to sell the game. Normally it is considered to be one of those abandoned games.

I have seen that (weird) site. I’m not quite sure how the orders work, filling a form and mailing a check?
Amazon and ebay prices are prohibitive with the shipping costs to Europe.
Well, ITE is available on GOG. So, assuming this might be the one, I get to test game worthiness of a new GOG download. I really hope this game gets the votes as there are none other that get my interest juices flowing.
