Hi

So, I installed my original 4-CD version of Tex Murphy: Overseer the other day, and I'm trying to find out a bit more about the DVD version. I understand that was released in the States only...? I don't think it came out in the UK. The versions sold on Steam and GOG are the DVD versions, which I know have cleaner and higher res FMV videos. No scanlines. I presume they include some pre-installed patches/fixes as well? I would like to get those higher res videos working with my installed version, along with any patches/fixes, if that's possible? Or is there a way of converting the original CD versions to match the DVD version? I know there's a guide for converting the CD version to a DVD disc, but that doesn't guide you on how to install it so it plays from the HDD. Plus, my Win98 PC doesn't have a DVD drive. Yet.

Thanks

Overseer came out simultaneously on CD and DVD, the original release included them both. You may want to check this thread out:

Huh. I had no idea they came out at the same time. Or that both versions were included. I could be wrong, but I think the only release to come out in the UK was the regular CD version part of the Premiere Collection.

Okay, I have everything you suggested except for DVDExpress. That one seems a bit elusive now.
