mihe8: I'm sick of this. Almost every so-called classic game purchased via gog has massive issues, is not optimized for modern resolutions, widescreen etc. INI-tweaking all day long. That's that. Cash-in for no invested work. Fine.
But now Sanitarium is like the 3rd or 4th game (Escape from Monkey Island being the one before that) I purchased that just wont even start/has black screen on start with NO goddamn possibility to alt-tab out of it. Leaving me to restart my computer. You Serious? Dont fuck with my hardware. In fact get the hell out of your lazy asses and test this shit before SELLING it.
What the hell are you doing with these games and how in the world you even think you are in the position to want my money for this fucking mess?
I don't know how old you are and what past experience you have, but believe it or not, it isn't all down to GOG whether a game will work well on your PC. This is because there are many combinations of hardware that can be involved, and GOG like game developers cannot test every iteration. And as in the past, but improved, is the fact that not all hardware is truly compatible with each other.

You can have a great sounding or seeming PC, but in reality it might not be. There is more to a PC than high specs.
Then there is the fact that many games are flawed or riddled with bugs, that will be more prevalent on some hardware than others.
Things have improved in some regards, even if it is just brute forcing capability. But unless you are playing on a console, where everything has been tried and tested to a high degree with known specs, then how well a game works can in many cases be a roll of the dice.
Buying a gaming PC from a brand with a good reputation is about the best you can do outside of a console.

Post with your real account, coward. :P
Running old games on new hardware can be finicky, but most of the time there's more than one workaround to make it run (to a degree). Instead of rambling like a madman, you could have looked for one or asked for help, but nope, you decided to go apeshit.
If you don't take your time explaining your problem, why should the userbase take their time to help you?
Edit: As others mentioned, Sanitarium runs just fine.

Not to mention the fact that an especially "high specs" PC may be cause for issues that users with much less sophisticated hardware will never experience (keyword: multi-core-CPUs, etc).

IRQ. What gets priority? Should my mouse override my keyboard for this game? What about my audio? Does soundblaster work? I hate the PC Speaker. Oh, man. Now I have to configure the memory!
Gaming in those days was much simpler, but getting them to run was more difficult by a long shot!
