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.

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.
