Was thinking the same thing. Been looking for some stuff to load on the Deck for downtime at work. Never got around to these before.
I was excited for the first one, played about 65% of it & it became a chore so I quit. Never played the second, figured it was more of the same.

thanks gog for preserving this retro gem 😅
I’m kind of confused, both games currently support the current platform and were not broken. Is it typical for them to add games to the preservation program like this? I thought it was for games that no longer work on modern systems, or idk preservation. It’s a good thing to be sure, but my reaction is just “what?”.

I haven’t played the 2nd but I remember the first feeling like eight separate short stories that just so happened to include party mechanics and level grinding.

Did you finish the first one? I played through all the characters through either chapter 1 or 2 (can’t remember now) and it immediately turned into a grindfest where I couldn’t progress because everything was suddenly killing me.
Did I miss something or was it specifically designed to be a “grind to progress” type of game?

Nope. That’s pretty much all I remember and my same experience.
