    The new 64 bit update to Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 is so surprising.

    I hadn't played it for many years as previous versions just didn't work but the new one works flawlessly.

    ]Now played BG 1 & 2 with the update and they are still a blast to play and they run great.

    Just in case you come across this, this NG is mostly dead. Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action is still active
    and welcomes RPG talk.

    I keep thinking of trying BG2 as so many has said it's so good, but I couldn't ever get through 1, it's the game
    play that kills it for me. I love the party NPCs though, Boo, "Stop touching me!" etc.

    What does 64-bit do? Does 64-bit OSes not able to play the original games?

    What I could find:

    [BGE change to...] "...a 64-bit supported title, which helps improve compatibility with modern systems.
    However, this comes with a small trade-off as 32-bit systems are no longer supported."

    I don't know how 'small' I'd consider that, though I don't run any 32-bit systems. It wouldn't work on
    older systems.
