What an awesome game that was/is.

I was quite young when I first played through it so my dad had to get me the official guide to help me through it. There was no GameFAQs back then. ;)

Great Scott. That is indeed awesome. All the Sierra titles, good old Activision (Battlezone, anyone?), city building, adventuring, Cate Archer...

YES! Sierra games back then were awesome! GOG is turning out almost has addictive as steam latelly and that's bad for my wallet.

Now excuse me while I go back to the Psychonauts I got for 2€ yesterday...

I hope the Arcanum manual is still there in PDF form. You know what I'm talking about... ;D

Yes it is. Including Doc Cranshaws elaborations on Arcanums history, and Granny Cookhills Three Bowl Bread recipe. ^^

Picking Gabriel Knight as the first release has to be symbolic. It's probably the best written Sierra adventure game of all time. They're even including the talkie-CD version with Tim Curry.

This brings back so many memories of playing this game Sundays in my Dad's office on one of those new fangled CD-Roms.

I wouldn't mind Telltale being allowed to make a new Gabriel Knight series.

I recently dug out the first Gabriel Knight game and finished it. That game is so good. I wish they would reboot that series.

I thought Arcanum and Gabriel Knight were Sierra games? When did Activision get them?

Sierra has long been nothing more than an Activision branding. They bought them a long time ago.

Sorry... after reading up on it to refresh my memory. They were bought by CUC, which eventually became Vivendi Games, which was merged with Activision in 2007 (to form Activision Blizzard).

Sierra had pretty much just become a brand by 2000 though.

Go buy Arcanum, seriously. It's one of the most awesome PC RPGs ever made if you can look past a few things. It's a shame that Troika ended up flaming out so badly, there was definitely talent there.

Also, I believe there are some fan patches released in the last couple of years even that fixed many of the bugs that never got addressed by official patches.

Sergio: Would never be possible, Telltale are ex-Lucasart's guys. Jane Jenson is still around and her new game comes out in like a month I think called Grey Matter. Gabriel Knight 2 is still my favourite though.

GOG goes from strength to strength and show how modern PC games are shallow and redundant due to this multiformat market of ours, where everything is dumbed down to the lowest denominator!

I agree, but don't let the console gamers hear you! : )
