Hot high-res hack and slash action

Baldur's Gate was an epic. A frustrating at times epic, featuring always frustrating Kobolds and ancient 640x480 graphics, but still offering an amazing and quite addictive gaming experience. Baldur's Gate -to this very day- is a joy to play, as engrossing as ever and one of the best RPG games ever to grace our fed up with goblins PCs. Good news is you can actually improve it. Give it a lick of paint, so to say.

Bad news is you'll need to have both Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II installed on your hard-drive. More good news is you'll be using the (relatively) impressively advanced and high(er)-res engine of BG II to run the original game. How? By using the excellent (freeware, too) EasyTutu program, generally available at this little cyber-den.

    Well, Deitrix, there's both a BG2 and expansions to BG1 and 2 for the PC. Perhaps something made it to the Gamecube too...

    maybe we should peel the labels of the bottles..... they certainly constitute a health and safety risk....

  18. Yes, of course, you are right, wise and noble as ever... Could I just label them as anti-tank weapons? They are legaly considered such... here, at least... Fancy, aint it?
