I'm a fan of old school point and click DOS games, so of course I love the original game. Awesome 2D art, music, and voice acting, along with great writing. But I'm also a fan of games that take advantage of HD displays, and newer technology. Some people might say to play the original instead of this remake, but I don't think that's for everyone. Even as a fan of the original, I struggled to play through it all recently, but I powered through this remake in a couple days of long play sessions and loved it. The voice actors do a good job replacing the well known actors of the original, Mosely especially sounds very much like his original actor. And the narrator is still awesome. The music is awesome, same great vibes as the original, done with the advancements 20 years of video game music evolution has provided. This remake also makes some scenes easier to navigate, with clear, beautiful backgrounds, some with different views and angle than we saw in the original game. All in all, the story is my favorite part of this game, and you will get that same great story regardless of which version of this classic you play. Play the original, if you want classic point and click graphics, along with the pixel hunting, and other hardships that come with that era of gaming. Or play this remake, if you want modern high resolution graphics, along with the slightly clunkier animations that come with a game from a small studio. Either way, you're in for a treat, and I can recommend this remake just as much as I recommend the original, and that's a lot!
A great game, unfortunately, this GOG release does not work on Windows 8 64-bit. You will need to install 3rd party video drivers to get the game to launch, then you will be hit with unplayable framerates in game. GOG should consider mentioning this on the store page for the game... :-(
