Where can I Get Gothic 1?
 

I played through Gothic 1 about 50 times and loved it, but when I moved last year I misplaced it. Does anyone know where it can be bought.

eBay & Amazon are a good bet.. here are some links to help you by.. :)

Thanks for the links, I found one at e-bay for $4.95

looks like a fantastic bargain, if that price includes shipping then even great.. :)

The English version can be downloaded directly from PB for 10 EUR.

Excellent deal - if that doesn't pan out there is always the game trading site Goozex … I've done very well there.

I'm just about to order Gothic 1 but I have one question: is there any problem running it under XP? I no longer have a Win 98 machine and some older games don't like XP.

I had no trouble running on XP, but I prefer if someone else could confirm as I sometimes mess with my PC for a few hours before I get something to work.

It runs on XP. The more tricky question is if your graphics card is compatible.

I have had no problem with Gothic (1 or 2 or Gold) running on a variety of laptop and desktop systems with various nVidia and ATi cards.

Well, I dl'd the demo from PB to try it and it seems to work. One thing though, I can't pick anything up. The default action key is left ctrl but nothing happens… mouse click doesn't do it either. In front of a chest, the kneeling animation starts but aborts when almost finished if that's a clue. I don't have a weapon readied and the ID tag is normal just like in Gothic 2 but no response.

press forward in addition (at the same time) to ctrl or lmb.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Quick warning about Gothic 1. It has some problems with certain ATI cards, 1800 series and higher. It doesn't display the inventory correctly.

the good thing about playing Gothic 1 is that all its bugs, quirks & incompatibility has been discussed thoroughly and the solution has been posted on various forums.. :)

Not for the problem I'm referring to.
