I remember playing the originals when they first came out and loved them.

Now we need the Discworld remastered (which unfortunately will never happen)

Some time ago I embarked on a quest to experience missed classics in this genre. I played the original Simon series on a tablet—long after its heyday, but still a nostalgically irreverent and challenging romp. I think I actually like the art style here—though I prefer pixel art for my pixel hunting.

Can't decide if to be happy and support this game or ignore and move on with my life ;) I loved the first game so much, but not sure I'd enjoy it half as much today, especially not in this art style 🤔 Would be interesting to try this though or go back to the original to see how it's held up

The original looks much better, imo.

Bit random for Rick Astley to be in it but eh, he’s had a bit of a revival outside of just memes.

I'm definitely picking this up ❤️

Just read Acts 8:9-25 in the Bible,
"Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great..."

I do wish when they did these things they’d port the originals alongside for those of us who missed out!

I love it whenever something like that happens. Hopefully the players of this game enjoy it.

I finished the og game on my mate's 386 pc many many moons ago!

Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Wadjet Eye Games's quests, Kathy Rain, Whispers of a Machine, The Lion's Song, Beneath a Steel Sky...

The original game looked gorgeous in places, and the scenes had plenty of detail. But maybe time will prove me wrong on this one. I hope so.
