It contained a virtual hard drive with the operating system, the game installed and tweaks within the OS to get it running smoothly.

No, because it skips videos that might have clues in them for puzzles.

Unless a lightbulb comes my way, I've resigned to the fact that this package is better than nothing. Considering Shivers 1 is already on GOG, I suspect it will eventually go there anyway. Their team with all of their resources will likely do a better job than me anyway.Biffman 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163763573158975266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-21944557091716514852020-02-25T16:45:51.196+00:002020-02-25T16:45:51.196+00:00You need to download all files and have them in th...You need to download all files and have them in the same folder before installing.

This is one of my favorite old school games, and I'm starting to wonder if GOG has run into licensing issues with this one that weren't an issue with Shivers I.

From the dream video at the start after you check in to the motel, to the videotapes you find throughout your game play, and especially Trip Cyclone music videos on the many TVs throughout Cyclone. I can't get any of these videos to play all the way through without a crash.
