Description

Gilbert Goodmate is an old-style 2D point and click adventure. Many years ago, an evil wizard called Karn was defeated by a young boy, with the unlikely help of a mushroom. So that the people of Phungoria would never forget how the world was saved, the mushroom was put in the town square and a citizen elected every year to take care of the mushroom.

This year it is Gilbert's grandfather who must take care of it. But the mushroom is stolen, and the people say he must be executed. As Gilbert, you must save the day.

- Corrects all problems related to tearing effects, screen flicker and other problems rendering graphics.
- Corrects problem with game crashing on exit.
- Corrects problem with game not starting on some systems resulting in an error message about active system debuggers.

- Speeds up Gilbert's walk.
- Speeds up the pace of conversations.
- Adds "High/Low Quality Sound" playback in options screen. (low=more compatible)
