Kyshakk Koan ladyonthemoon Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hello @Spidweb, I see that you have released Nethergate: Resurrection (the recent remake of Nethergate) on Steam, could you please release the original Nethergate on GOG, as you did for Avernum? (The original version of Avernum, the first trilogy, is available on GOG; the remade version of the first trilogy is available on Steam.) Thank you.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Jeff tweeted about why some games aren't released on Steam: "Alas, our older Mac games aren't compatible with Steam, because of the eccentric way older versions of the Mac OS handled file storage."

Kyshakk Koan ladyonthemoon Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 The old Nethergate was made for both Windows and Mac: http://spiderwebsoftware.com/nethergate/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 GoG aside, I too would be interested in obtaining the original Nethergate. I purchased the remake, but was too late to purchase the original. I'd think it would be okay to release it for free like the Exile trilogy? But I dunno, maybe he has his reasons not to...

Kyshakk Koan googoogjoob Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 There are far fewer differences between Nethergate and Resurrection than between any other Spiderweb game and its remake (eg, it's the only remake that has almost entirely identical graphics to the original), and I imagine the thinking is that Resurrection just totally supercedes the original release for that reason, coupled with being more-compatible with newer systems.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That's true. The original did have an extremely different skill/experience system, which is fondly remembered by many. nikki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skill system (and the unbalanced spells ) are why I go back to play N:O more often than I play Resurrection. Slawbug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The skill system just makes me happy. And the dialogue engine. And Pearlblossom. Though I do enjoy the new content in N:R, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
