Never played the original, but...
This is one of the few reviews that comes from someone who has not played the original games "back in the day". I've never owned an Amiga or a C64, although I did own a DOS computer back in the mid 90's, so I'm still a semi-old fart. I'm playing with some of the modern niceties offered by this update turned on. So I'm allowing myself to save whenever I want, instead of just at the guild, which was how it originally worked. I also have the automatic journal turned on. It's very cool that you can enable and disable these features - so you can have it exactly as you like it. One thing I don't like is that the game does not distinguish between the 3 different games when it comes to autosaves. This means that if you wanna check out another game in the anthology while having a game going in legacy mode (only Guild autosaves) - wave goodbye to all progress in that game. Very stupid programming decision, frankly. So I recommend enabling manual saves and the just restricting yourself to guild-only saves by shere force of will, if that's how you wanna play. While these games are fundamentally old and crusty as far as the game design goes, there is a real charm to it. I love the mean dungeon designs and the sometimes ridiculous giant piles of high level monsters that assault you if you have a bit of bad luck. The combat system is good, and random encounters are rare enough that it doesn't become mindnumbing. Monst encounters are triggered by special squares on the map, rather than just random chance. There's a good amount of choice in how you make your 7 character team. Although the game suggests you leave a slot open, since you sometimes get to have a monster join your team. I chose to play with 7 characters of my own so far. A warrior, a paladin, a monk, a hunter, a bard, and one of each of the two starting wizard classes. The magic users get to change class throughout the game though, and learn spells from a multitude of different magic schools. Old, but it holds up.
