This is probably the second best RPG game ever made, exceeded only by the follow on Installment, Shadows of Amn. It is an old game and but the graphics are still acceptable for the third person type format that is used. A strong story line, many side quests and battles that require thought rather than just brute force and numerous traps that make a thief essential in the party make up.

The jokers sent me the expansion pack only and told me they didn't have the actual game anymore once I sent it back. Really? aren't you supposed to check before you ship your products? Geez

If you get the game as pictured (older box) I believe it is only for Win 95/98.

I have not played the game (yet). So my rating does not reflect that.

Though BGII is superior in all aspects of this RPG, I remember BG being enjoyable when I played it years ago (my *** rating is for the game). However, be warned, the system requirements on this page claim to be designed for Windows XP but that is only for the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, not for Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate is, I presume, only for Windows 95 or 98. The discs don't say for sure and there are no instructions inside the packaging-which by the way is completely different than the main picture shown. The back of the box says 'Windows 95/XP/Vista' so it looks like it's for all three systems but it isn't. I submitted the actual picture of the packaging on this page. PLUS, Baldur's Gate is a DVD-Rom game not a CD-rom like the expansion pack. I contacted the seller "GeeksWholesaler" about the discrepancies between the actual product and the product page and they said "Manufacturer doesn't make CD version anymore for cost down. You can return for refund." So much for that...
