    … The original game already “demanded” BG&E2 would be made. It called for a sequel, because the plot was left unfinished.

    That they added new hooks for a prequel on top of it is not really good news to me.

    I’ve never played this. How does it hold up? I don’t care about graphics, I’m a patient gamer.

      Played it a couple of years ago. It’s arcadish, nice, it’s artstyle works great to diminish the fact it’s very old, but the final boss sucks ass, so I’d just googled a guide for defeating him.

      This was an absolutely amazing game when I played the original. The art style is not aiming for realism either so those games tend to hold up well. I would highly recommend picking it up.

      Edit: Just checked on steam and it looks like they have added Denuvo DRM. Maybe you can find an old version without it?

        It’s on GOG. Currently on sale for $3. It’s the non-remastered version, but I doubt that will hold people back much.

          That sounds like my jam, thanks. Assuming I can get it working on Linux
