Availability

Best version

The GOG.com version is pre-patched for modern systems and includes the expansion. Older versions, such as the original release, may have issues running on newer machines. Avoid the Dungeons & Dragons Classic Anthology, as it not only has issues installing on newer operating systems but also will not work with Baldur's Gate Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy.

UPDATE 8/2013 - Easytutu WILL work on the D&D ANTHOLOGY pack. The trick is being able to do the INSTALL. For it to complete, the BG directory needs to add 1 file in order to successfully run Easytutu install. Read this following thread for summary of issue: http://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/getting_burned_a_warning_on_purchasing_baldurs_gate_outisde_of_gogcom
