Today I saw a message in the forum saying what you said above. I've played the original Broken sword game Circle of Blood, though haven't played it for quite a while. I remember the opening scene. Its a good game and so was BS 2. I only played a small part of the Directors cut tonight, so I will have to see if I like it or not. I will download the original BS in a while. > Fortunately the original version is also included in the package so you > can experience the game the way it was intended by the creators. ScummVM > will probably be required . I thought it would be adjusted for Gog players by including Dosbox like all their other games are. I don't know anything about ScummVM, but I think Dosbox would work if its not including with the Gog download. I can figure outo Dosbox, but not ScummVM. Mary
