It's a 27MB download, compatible with XP and Vista 32 and 64 bit to
boot. I've never played either one myself, are they any good?

I tried playing them, but had a terrible time getting them working. Since
they promise XP/Vista compatability, I'm downloading them right now.
Obviously very rudimentary graphics and sound, but I had an absolute blast
replaying Under A Killing Moon recently, so I'm hopeful.

Not to mention you have to register before you can download them.

Ah well, free registration is trivial. I've got so many accounts for
free registrations that I hardly even notice such things.

All real gamers already have an account at gog.com.

Hmm then I am not a "real" gamer because I didn't have one.. *lol*
Probably more of a game maker ...

Sigh, me neither. I've only been gaming on computers since.,. well
probably before Cronos was potty trained.

I highly doubt that. Real gamers don't play crap adventure games with
random logic puzzles either.
