Have you ever wanted to install XIII but run into obstacles in installing and tweaking it? This release provides a revamped XIII (including brand new content) ready to go! Less fiddling, more playing.
The setup file allows you either to
install XIII from scratch by using the retail version or to
upgrade an existing installation.
Compatible XIII versions for new installation:
* European XIII Retail version on 4 CDs
* European XIII Retail version on DVD (e.g. Gold Games 8, Computer Bild Spiele)
* Czech XIII Retail version (thanks to Opaquit)
The upgrade-only option is meant for already existing installations, like unmodified retail versions and the GOG one which can install the base game by itself.
