A word of advice if you do decide to play it and have Windows 11, the
GOTY Enhanced version will not run.

Works for me.  The first time I launched it just now it didn't run,
but it worked the second time I tried it.  The intro videos appeared
in a tiny window in the upper left corner of my screen, but after they
finished the game worked normally.

I wish it worked for me.

I get "initialisation error" if I'm lucky. Sometimes just nothing at
all. It's a common problem with the GOTY Enhanced version of BL with
Windows 11.

I can run the game directly from the .exe file and it will start just
fine. It's hit and miss as to whether my progress is saved though.

This is still my favorite Borderlands game. Although BL2 is also
extremely good. I really didn't like BL2 when it first came out as it
seemed so different from BL1. The weapons were very different which I
found quite off putting.

It did grow on me though over the years. I recently replayed it and
ended up having a greater appreciation of it.
