Disappointed about all the hatred towards one of the classic FMV games, mostly by people who didn't even play it. But even if you did and don't like it; so what?
Seriously, is it so difficult to just not write in a thread about a game you're not interested in instead of rallying against it?
Even if it got released here, you could always, I don't know, not buy it.

Make sure you vote for it on the wishlist! https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=black+da

Welcome cagas123.

In my opinion Black Dahlia would be an excellent addition to this site, as it's probably the most ambitious FMV adventure that was ever made.

It's over 5 years since I played it, but from what I remember:

Pros:
- Great story and atmosphere (it's a very long game but these made me want to finish it)
- Lots of puzzles and some of them are great
- Didn't encounter any bugs in my playthrough on a Windows 98 PC. Maybe the problems had been patched out by then or maybe I was just lucky.

Cons:
- Some horrible puzzles - some are just very hard and a few of them were impossibly hard. Yes, I had to use a walkthrough a few times but it certainly didn't spoil my enjoyment.
- Terri Garr's acting - it's so bad, it's good! (edit - to be fair she only has a small part and the rest of the acting is generally very good)

Hey there. We definitely need Black Dahlia on GOG, even because the game was always a pain to get to run properly ever since the days of Windows XP, so a little bit of tech magic from GOG, or someone GOG could reach out to, would be great.

It's a somewhat unique game in the way that it mixes a bunch of history - Elizabeth Short's murder, the III Reich's obsession with the occult, the Thule Society, the CIA embryo days in the form of OSS during the war - with the game's fictional plot. It has quite a few interesting moments and a fair share of nice puzzles, some of them a tad on the difficult side of puzzling though. One of them took me days to figure out and for another one i actually put together a paper model of the puzzle - for those who've played it it was the one with the bar napkin :)

Vote for it on the wishlist if you haven't already

I can't believe after all these years there still is no release of Black Dhalia. Come on GOG!

Really. I was there when the game come out, and was meh.
A pile of hype for... meh.

Will be meh even now.

I was going to say to try and run it in dosbox as a similar game called Ripper seems to work fine with a patch.

This person claims to have it working. http://collectionchamber.blogspot.com/2017/12/black-dahlia.html
