Another reason GK 2 can't be on this site is because it's too damn big. It's about 4 CDs, due to all the Full Motion Video.

When you ask for a game, please consider not just it's abandonware status, but it's size.

I hope this helps put an end to all the potential "pls hst gk 2" posts.

Six CDs actually.

I rented it from the library a while ago with the intention of using a CD burner to get myself a copy, but disc 2 was corrupt. Seriously, does everyone but me use rental CDs as coasters, frisbees, and scratching posts?

Many people I saw, actually. They seem to believe that cd's keep to be readable when they're handled not as carefully as they should.

It's a trend I noticed a lot on new computer users. They tend to think CD's are indestructable and last forever. Good thing most of them don't even know what a floppy is!

You should have seen the face of the teen a month ago when I told him that bringing a floppy in a subway erase everything on it because of electromagnetism. Until I tell him he had no clue. LOL

Default *Gabriel Knight: The Sins Of The Fathers

This was such an amazing game that truely lived up to those of its genre... Now the real question is... Does anyone out there have it. Or if by some twist of fate I can dig up the floppies for it. Could we even put it up?

Sorry. It's not abandoned, so we can't host it.

Try looking on eBay for it. k:

So... This question must come up ALOT... But I tried calling Sierra directly and asked about purchasing a copy of this fine title. Well, after speaking to the sales rep and two supervisors, I recieved the same answer... We're sorry, but that game is no longer in production.

So it seems, Sierra abandoned it.... YET... It's still copyrighted... They don't plan to make anymore money from it. This doesn't make sense to me. Then again, not much in this crazy world does.
