Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

This was one of my favorite PC Games. This game was released on floppy disc and CD ROM and was ran on older computer operation systems. If you have a modern operating windows computer, you need to use the free "Dos Box" software which simulates the game as if it was ran through DOS. Great Game. My favorite in the entire Gabriel Knight series. You can also purchase the book!

Would not play on Windows 8

I really wish they had continued this series. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is, to this day, one of my favorite games of all time. Obviously it's a little dated now, but it has a really interesting story that I loved back in the mid-90's when this game was released. I'm really sad that they didn't continue the franchise. I would love to see some form of Gabriel Knight on my Xbox or PS3 console. I would buy this game again if there was a Mac version of it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find one anywhere. But if you're a PC user and love classic adventure games, this is definitely worth playing. However, I don't know where they're getting the price from. This is an old game. $80? Seems like some kind of money-laundering scam or something.

Classic, i loved this growing up

I've recently played "Sins of the fathers". I have played "The beast within" and a little "Blood of the sacred, blood of the damned" which is the second and third installments, respectively, of the Gabriel Knight trilogy."Sins of the fathers" is like any other adventure game from the 90's: it's difficult to figure out what to do next. Basically, you have to grab everything in the room that can be grabbed and use everything on everything; you never know when that oil greased cloth will come in handy. The graphics are good for its time and with the inclusion of voice acting in the CD-ROM version for almost any action and situation in the game is very welcomed. But I think that this type of games are illogical and that's a big drawback. You'll spend hours figuring out what you missed because you don't progress.I give this a rating of 3 because it's an intriguing story, but unfortunately the game mechanics in this type of game is illogical. Not more than other adventure games from the 90's, but still it's annoying.

great service all around! works great in dos box!! these old games bring back great memories. amazon is a great way to get them.

Lot of folks I know loved this but I found it quite mundane. Being an adventure game fanatic, I've played a bunch.Could be maybe 3 1/2 stars but certainly not 4.

Great!
