PSA: Alone in the Dark on GoG

Title pretty much says it all. Good old Games has added the classic Alone in the Dark trilogy to it's catalog. Apparently this is the first title in a series of classic Atari games, so keep your eyes on the site over the next few weeks.

I know I have fond memories of this series, but then again it may be a slight case of the old 'rose tinted glasses', who knows. I do remember that the original Alone in the Dark was one of those games that allowed to you to screw up in such a way that 4 hours later you'd realize you can't complete the game because you don't have a certain item (DON'T USE THE OLD ANTIQUE SWORD IN COMBAT). Developers just aren't that cruel anymore, it's like comparing today's games with the soul crushing difficulty of the X-Com series... it just doesn't happen.

So it's true that the Alone in the Dark series is a difficult game, but I think it does deserve it's place in the arena of Classic PC titles.
