It's good thing, that You still keep this game alive. I still have it (H&D 2) in my Win 7 PC and time to time I start it again, maybe forever. I have even 1st H&D in my Win 98 Computer, ready to continue, when I want.

So, thank You for that site!

Does it support 16:9 (widescreen) resolutions? It would be awsome...

[Hanzu]

Great! I have been voting the wishlists of these in GOG and I hope they provided the source code for GOG for some bug fixes. I played both of these so much and the missions had ugly breaking bugs, that could have been easily corrected. I used to document those bugs among other things:

It was nice to have email announcement of this from here. Did not remember anymore that I had registered.

Who do we call to get this game remade? Who currently owns it?

Same goes for other games, like Red Alert 1 and 2. In fact, almost all the Command & Conquer franchise needs to be remade. Keep the old cutscenes (if they are live action with real actors), but PLEASE remake the battles, as the graphics and mechanics are unworkable.

My secret dream is that someone, sometime will remake the H&DD missions for H&D2. But as far as I know, for H&D2 it's hard (if at all possible) to create mods... So currently my only reasonable wish is to play in real 16:9.

I'll keep this site around as long as I can It's great news that they finally made the games available for download. We can only hope that they add them to other services like Steam, if they do they will have to put in even more effort to fix them for modern PCs. And like you I've always had H&D installed since 1999

By default kind of but not really, H&D1 and deluxe work better with 1920x1080 than H&D2. H&D Deluxe works the best, it stretches the UI but everything else seems fine including the tactical map. H&D1 has issues with the tactical map being mis-aligned, not a major issue but it is annoying.

H&D2 is the worst. You can get it to go widescreen but it stretches badly. You can find some details here: http://www.wsgf.org/dr/hidden-dangerous-2
I'll be looking into this shortly to see what can be done but there is a discussion here: https://embed.gog.com/forum/hidden_dang ... t_for_hd_2

I tought that maybe the GoG version contains some smaller updated features, like the resolution-thing. But I suppose then the answer is no.

It doesn't really look like they have fixed anything which sucks but it's better to have the games, if they get popular on gog.com they might release them on Steam which means they will have to update them for sure. A lot of the issues are easily fixed, it is annoying that they haven't done it with this release.

I like to keep screenshots of game success missions as well, thought I was the only one I really like to keep stats like that and know them. Would be cool if we could easily see other peoples or share stats. If they could be exported from the game that would be cool... hrmmm!

Take 2, 2k Games, 2k Czech (they are part of Hanger 13 now I believe). Hopefully this gog.com release of the games is the first step to a remake or sequel

Another C&C would be great. Think I still have them installed, normally have Tiberian Sun.

I haven't gone over them with a fine tooth comb yet but I will

They look the same and they are definitely the same versions (H&D1 being 1.3, Deluxe being 1.51 and H&D2 being 1.12). H&D1 might have had some visual difference in colours but not 100% sure. Will definitely post about any differences I find. They might update the games later as well.

Thanks for the HU. Going to have to join up at GoG then.

[indio68]

Great new,....and it will use galaxy for multy? thans for the info with email, guys

[Jakkals]

Yes! Looking forward to join up at GoG.
Thank you to everyone of you that is keeping this game alive and in our minds. We really appreciate what you are doing for us "die-hards", and for H&D.

I am pretty unhappy with this. When they put it up to sell it and make money, they could at least do some fixes and whatever

if there was at least widescreen and multiplayer and whatever notable bugs fixed, I'd instantly buy it and tell my friends to get it. But like that I'd rather not play it or use the free deluxe edition.

i still own the original versions of all the H&D games and until i KNOW FOR CERTAIN that there have been updates to make it run at the very least 1900x1080 i won't be buying them.
i mean., why should i? what would be the point? i already own the games that ran great on my old Athlon 3200+ and i cannot imagine how badly win10 pro would handle such an old game on an i7 6700 w GTX970.

Unless gog makes some effort to update this game the way, eg, Planescape:Torment has been updated, at the very least, by the modders of Torment, then i see no reason to waste money on a very old dated piece of software that likely will be as buggy as the original.

Also, i hope the MP aspects have had their protocols updated. It used to use TCP/IP. I sincerely that isn't the case anymore. The only games that use TCP/IP are turn based as the download is the only thing that's importamnt and the upload can take as long as it wants... unlike modern third person or first person games.

I was a huge fan of the original and enjoyed the co-op game immensely but the first H&D was riddled with bugs and crashing was the norm, which, though frustrating, still had us struggling to play thru a 4 player co-op game. Some of the best co-op gaming i've ever played was on H&D1 and 2.
