Lately have a desire to play this classic again. Does anybody know if the version on Gamer's Gate will work as well on a modern Win7 machine as the version on GOG? The GOG one is more expensive. Also, trying to remember, is this a fix resolution game that is not going to look good on my big screen monitor?
Finally, is JA BIA worth getting? I remember when this game came out last year that it was panned pretty hard. Any improvements in the last year on it?
We had a JA thread going not too long ago. I picked up the series from the GOG website and they run and look fine. I also picked up JA:BIA (Our local Half-Price Books store had them) and it's a nice version of the game with some nice graphics (as compared to JA2). I read the reviews of JA:BIA and yes, it got slammed pretty hard but with the release of the last patch that addressed most of the issues that critics had raised, it's a solid game. I'm in a campaign now and the AI is tough. Well, I guess it's not a brilliant AI, they just overwhelm you mostly but it's some good fun.

There's the "Combat Evolved" mod you mentioned in the other thread for Back In Action, GJK.
Ah yes, thanks for linking to that for me. Nice mod that adds several more weapons and fixes a couple of more nagging things (gives the baddies combat fatigues instead of their blue jeans and t-shirts that came with the game among other things).
