All the games fit on 2 DVDs with no swapping of discs required.
Icewind Dale (the game I'm starting with) has some minor tweaks such as scroll bags and potion chests available that were not in the original.
The display is slightly different, with 'full screen' being slightly smaller in the Windows 7 version compared to the original version.
The Windows 7 version has black borders to the left and right which did not exist with the original full screen option.
The Windows 7 version allows 32 bit color while the original was limited to 24 bit color.
I'm thrilled to have the Windows 7 compatible version of these games!
Avast! needs to be turned off while creating characters, but can be on while playing the game.
If you want to play Baldur's Gate in multi-character mode, you need to jump through a minor hoop.
You need to start Baldur's Gate in a window screen (press Alt + Enter),then connect.
Once you successfully join the game, press Alt + Enter again to maximize the screen again.
One minor disappointment is that after finishing Icewind Dale, the characters are NOT transferable to Icewind Dale II.
I was a little disappointed with the delivery speed. I paid for 3-5 day delivery. I ordered the games on Friday July 6. They were mailed on Monday July 9.
They were delivered on Monday, July 16. If we ignore the day the order was placed, and we ignore the 4 weekend days, it was still 6 days for delivery.
If we include the day of order and the weekends, it took 11 days for delivery. I have become accustomed to faster delivery with Amazon orders!
But hey, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, I love the games!
Pros:
1. Excellent top notch writing. Fun intricate characters that you will actually care about.
2. Non-linear gameplay (to a point).
3. Length of the game (you can get anywhere from 50-80 hours out of one game, with the exception of Icewind Dale 1+2). I can't stand shelling out 60 bucks for a game I can beat in 5-10 hours.
4. Engrossing storyline
5. These games have "the magic". You know when you pick up a game and you can't explain why, or how, but you can't stop playing? All of these games have it.... All of them...
6. They work on Windows 7! And yes I have played this version on my Windows 7 PC, it does work. Yeah!
Cons:
1. Graphics are far inferior to what is put out these days (it was top notch when they were released)
2. Speed. There is a lot of simply waiting for your characters to walk from point A to point B on the screen, and they walk slowly...
These games are classics and will always hold a special little nook in the gaming section of my metaphorical heart....
The games themselves are scaled surprisingly well on a widescreen monitor and the portraits, text and buttons all look fantastic. Even so, you can run the game in windowed mode if you so desire. The audio is excellent. The intro movies are just as good as I remember (I was always very fond of the intro for Icewind Dale II).
The case stows both DVDs on a single spindle (one stacked directly on top of the other) so be careful when pulling them out. The manuals are in .pdf format. Thank goodness for that, because the original paper manual for Baldur's Gate II was an inch-thick, spiral-bound monster that put the manual for your high school TI-83 calculator to shame. I suppose that added to the "D&D-ness" of it. Showing my nerd colors, here.
Anyone looking to get updated copies of the Infinity Engine games from Bioware and Black Isle shouldn't hesitate to snap this up, even if it's a used (there's no one-time registration key nonsense and the discs aren't required to play, once installed).

しかも単体だと昔のソフトなのでXPや7では動かない場合があるのでXP.Vista.7専用となっての再販は嬉しい限り♪
DVD2枚に8本収録されておりインストールしてしまえば ディスク要らずも良い仕様となりました☆D&Dフリークなら買って損は無いとかじゃなく、買って当たり前というぐらいです☆
