    Just wanted to ask if anyone has played The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery?

    I have been looking for this game for quite some time now, wasn't able to finish it before. Is there any place where I can still pick up this game? And do you guys think I could make it work on Vista? ;)

    Try GOG and Direct2Drive, otherwise there should be links out there for abandonware DOS games.

    Sigh, I've checked both those sites, and none of them have it...

    I may be able to find it in ebay, but the thing is I have no idea if it's going to run properly on Vista
