warmonger: I still have the original disc of this game and manual, but sadly it doesnt work anymore. I remember the time i first started the game I was amazed by the graphics and the music.
I was very immersed into the game and played it multiple times, the story didnt get boring even after replays.
For years I have been waiting to be able to play the game again. And knowing it will be on GoG tomorrow is a blessing, these last 24 hours plust the fact i have to work lateshift tomorrow will be tormenting but worth it.
I want to be an Outcast again.

Starkrun: It looks exciting, i wonder if there's a graphics mod or a "freespace open" style of engine conversion for it.

hunvagy: First of all, voxels aren't pixels emulated in software, but it's a hole different programming technique and view. The whole screen is built in 3D, and voxel is the term for a 3 dimenisonal pixel, a cube. Plus Outcast had antialiasing, bloom and all the glory that are standard nowadays, and they had it without 3D accelerators and in 1999. This was one of the reasons why the resolution was kept low. As for the technical problems, I just tried the normal CD version, installed fine on a Core2Duo with a crappy Intel GMA card on XP, and after being patched to 2.0, it ran without any problems, even on a 16:9 laptop monitor.
Plus if GoG gets it, they could turn to the remastered DVD release, with 5.1 sound and all patches incorporated, which runs on modern systems. At least I hope they do.
Sadly I have found no way to increase resolution, I've fiddled around with the .ini files, but it doesn't let you do squat. Anyway, the games sounds and looks pretty awesome to this day. Best example of a voxel engine, beats Novalogics Voxel Space into the ground easily :)
