You still have the second part of the game to look forward to. >>Haven't seen you here for a long time, not since this group used to be so >>busy and adventure games coming out often.

I don't either but I've always checked this group most days though not many posts but some of the "old" posters drop by once in a while.

I played the demo of Mobeus. I have a mixed opinion about it. I didn't know it was a remake of the first Gabriel knight game -"Sins of the Fathers" - it was a good game. I also like The beast within and "Blood of the sacred, blood of the damned". Some people didn't like GK3 as much as the previous two games, but I liked it probably the best. > Hope all is well with you :-) So-so.
