Opinions/thoughts on downloadable games?

Wow, you console players are so silly. :) :p
tpugmire: You can purchase a version of The Dig that runs natively on Windows from several digital distribution outfits, including Steam and Direct2Drive. LucasArts basically released a four pack with The Dig, Loom, and Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis / The Last Crusade.
Or you can just use your the data on your old install CDs and floppies with ScummVM. This supports a TON of LucasArts and Sierra games, as well as a few other freeware ones.

That link explains how to configure your DOSBox install to have fullscreen, and it lets you modify other settings. The game may look squished depending on your aspect ratio, if you need help with that lemme know. Edit: Of course, you can try the old fullscreen standby, Alt+Enter. :p

Ah yeah, I did this with my old PC copy of Broken Sword. Pretty straightforward, IIRC.

Ahh cool. I'll try that.... So hard to get into the game playing Daggerfall in a Window. haha

I looked into steam a while back, but I wasn't too impressed with the amount of games available. Seems to have gotten a lot better though. If they had Full Throttle, I'd be sold.
foxhack:
A while back? When was that, 2005?! I mean, just look at all the stuff I've bought! And forget about seeing Full Throttle, people have been begging for that one for years and they just don't want to rerelease it. Besides, you can get the game complete for like five bucks off eBay.
If you don't want to get Steam you can buy the games from Direct2Drive, I think they're DRM free there.
