Oh my Tchernobog! Caleb lives again...on GOG! Thank you oh mighty GOG for this tasty piece of classic software we are about to devour. I have waited for this hilariously funny gorefest to get here for a looong time. I believe you just made my decade. Hi-four anyone? (Just chewed my thumb off in pure excitement)
Blood for the blood god!
Oh, wait. Wrong game....
Anyways, I'm glad Blood has found its way here. It is an instabuy for me.
Acording to my wishlist, it arrives next thursday. So ready your wallet. :)
I have the original game, but not the expansions. Might pick it up in the future.
instabuy for me too because i never had the expansions. I also hope this means blood 2 is coming because last time i checked i couldn't get it to work on a new pc
Oh god, I can't wait using that improvised flamethrower weapon again... :D
Blood was ace, but I've never owned it. I'm going to fix that.
I don't think I ever played the expansion levels, though. How are they? I was pretty disappointed in the Duke 3D expansion; the levels were fun individually, but when combined into a single episode, the result is totally disjointed.
I hope we will get Blood II: The Chosen + The Nightmare Levels too on GOG.
Probably one of the most enjoyable single player FPS ever made. I love that game.
Heh. My wallet sure is ready and willing :D. I have this exact baby (OneUnitWholeBlood) boxed at home, but I am soo buying it the first minute it's out here on GOG, considering their excellent installer and DosBox wrapper. I can't wait. I feel like I could break some walls right now. Blood II would sure be nice to have here too. Although many consider it a lot weaker from the original. Oh and the expansions to Blood - I finished the cryptic passage. I was pretty impressed by it back then.

Whoa! Awesome news.:)
Alas, no sourcecode in the extras;/
Which means we'll probably have to play via DosBOX..
Damn, i need to buy a better computer, so that Blood won't go choppy slow.;P

This will definitely be an instabuy for me ! I'll pass on MoO and Outcast, but Blood will be mine, all mine!!

I don't know what kind of PC you have Arteveld, but it is possible for DosBoxed Blood to be blazingly fast even on older machines like 1GHz+ Still, whoever wants to get a full performance on XP and without DosBox head over to http deathmask net and go to Build XP section. You can find a sweet tutorial for running Blood natively on XP. Tested and working. I'm buying GOG version anyway, because I don't like to tinker around the way I used to.

at any rate you should set the core to dynamic, makes bulidgames much much faster

An Athlon x2 4400, 2.2ghz, with 3gigs of 4-4-4-12@800 ram, and a msi 7600gt with 256mb, but that doesn't matter much.
You must know, i was not reffering to the standard resolution Blood. I was thinking about the VESA resolutions, 800x600 will be just fine.;)
I know a thing or two about DOS, been on that for 10 years or so, and i don't feel like an alien with DOSBox. And i assure You, my rig does a bad job with Blood, at 800x600. ;)
I actually did check out that site some time ago, when i was still on XP [i'm on Win7x64 now], and it didn't work for me. That one might depend on the graphic card though, NVidia's legacy support is nonexistant. I also checked out VMs, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, and they still aren't good solutions for gaming.;)
The reason for me nabbing for that sourcecode is eDuke32, and the wonders of it's side projects. i wish we could experience Blood in such a way. :>
Ooh, and the reason for updating my rig the last time, in 2006, was to play Crusader on DOSBox. Back then it was a single core Athlon 3500+ [2.2ghz] with an ATI X800GTO. And that rig was great for Crusader. ;>

I wouldn't dare to refer to a lower res than 800x600. :D I could swear to Bog I had Blood up and running via dosbox on some singlecore crap in VESA mode few years back. The gameplay was flawless. Seems very strange your machine can't handle that. We'll see how GOGsters will tune up the release.
