If the negative feedback is correct, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, then I will stay away from this specific product. Do I stay away from the actual product I played in my childhood? Of course not. I loved the original and I still do. This specific product does not present the actual original game, even if a version of it is in the goodies section. This product stands as its own formulae, not as the original, so henceforth this shall be rated as such by me. If this platform doesn't offer the original as an alternative, this is the platform's choice and I am merely reflecting it. Thus I am also in no way obligated or otherwise tempted to rate this as five or four stars, as I would have rated the original (whether it was offered here or not). Whenever I make reviews or previews, I leave my feelings aside unless an action prompts it as a part of my reaction to bolster a creative, more joyful, script. Remember to practise your [viewer's] discretion and always visit the reviews page of each product for general and occasionally detailed reflections. Even if a product has a perfect five star rating, this doesn't necessarily translate that you, dear reader, specifically would like it. Now to the preview. ◇ ◇ ◇ Graphics: Smooth, yet occasionally depixellating. Audio: Fine, but seems to have jinxed the subs. Plot: Treasure for me, trapping to some. Operations: Worrisome. Hold your thought. ◇ ◇ ◇ Audacity to bake the original within the botox of a product, and the withdrawal of the stand-alone original, is a sign of a cash grab. This does not grow trust to this specific Anniversary product, but undermines it. No doubt this isn't the fault of the developer, but the platform. If the original was offered alongside this one, this preview would just be about the operations of this product. Depixellation is an even bigger issue when it comes to pixel games for it erases small enough details that were there to begin with. Wait for -80% discount 'til you buy.
Fresh meat this may not be anymore, but the memory of it stays fresh – for all eternity! Muhahahahaa... One of the first, if not the first, to introduce this genre to me (and to the world). Yet one of my keen interests and an inspiration. Never fails me either. Best ideas draw in best solutions when catered and stormed thoroughly. This is the result. Thanks GOG. ❤
My first touch to the genre. I wouldn't have bought the newest installment if it wasn't for this one kicking my nostalgia vein. Memorable characters, environment, puzzles, soundtrack and voice cast. True Sierra jewel to add into your collection of KQs. This game and many others have been an inspiration to my projects and suffices to say that it has never failed me for bringing wonderful ideas to life. Thanks GOG for reintroducing this game to my life! ❤
