Simon the Sorcerer: 25th Anniversary Edition

NOT worth it in any way

I should have read better the product description page! This is nothing more than the same Simon the Sorcerer game which was published in MS-DOS with the adittion of an awful graphic filter (something like 2xSAI) and a new menu that lets you select various languages and subtitles. Also, it allows to choose the soundcard emulation for music, but it sounds nothing like the original - I should know, because I have a real MT-32 and SC-55 on my desk. I already had the original version and would NOT buy it if it's your case too. I bet this is nothing more than DOSBox on a shiny frontend, but at least with the original DOSBox release you could fiddle with graphics settings.

I couldn't stand it, it's awfully done
