Great for Linux users
I've bought this game a long time ago on physical media. The bundle includes Platinum Edition + all the premium and some community modules. I loved the game ever since. The game also runs natively on Linux, so when I started using it instead of Windows, I was still able to install and play the game perfectly on any of the computers I've used. However, for reasons unknown to me, after a few years the cut scene videos stopped working on Linux, and I couldn't find a way to make that segment work again any more, although the game itself was still running normally. At some point this Enhanced Edition (EE) was offered on a strong discount, and I decided to give it a shot. I was impressed to see that this edition improves the Linux experience on two main fronts: the installation process is much easier now, and the cutscene videos are working again! For me, this is good enough to make me happy about the purchase. Also, the UI in this edition is usable with modern resolutions too, which helps a lot. There are also some graphic filter improvements etc., but to me the three I've mentioned are the most important ones. The game is also still playable on old hardware. Not as old as the original does, but for those very old machines you also get the original Diamond Edition bundled with the EE. So you're pretty much covered. The only downside is that the Aurora toolset is still not working on Linux, but I wasn't using it much even back in my Windows days many years ago, so this is not a big issue for me, but it certainly is for those who wish to create modules on their Linux machines. The game itself is great, and the EE makes it better suited for modern machines and OS's. And if you find it on discount, to top it all, it is certainly a good deal.
