Yes I played it when it first came out. I really enjoyed it. Wished at the time it hadn't been split in two but never mind. >Haven't seen you here for a long time, not since this group used to be so busy >and adventure games coming out often.

Internet speeds are probably one of the area where we surpass what you have in the US. I'm on VM cable, on their lowest package which is 30mb (which goes up to 50mb in the next few weeks) and theyve recently dropped all of their traffic management (throttling ) for downloads. So downloading BS5 only took a few mins, if that:-) > I had to adjust the colours as they were too bright but got adjusted and > better now.The game seems quite good so far, the acting much like the first 2 > games in the series except BS5 has different graphics.But same George and > Nico. I want to check out the new Tex Murphy game. Yes there's also Jane Jensens Mobeus (Ive played the demo) and the remake of the first Gabriel Knight game which are also due soon. Hope all is well with you :-) mick
