The original holds up anyway, and I firmly believe they were gonna butcher it, so... is this a win?

Is the original worth a play? Amazon prime gaming has it for free this week. I just redeemed it.

Yeah, although you should install the unofficial patch and widescreen mod (if needed).

Other than that, it's still a very fun game and I do recommend it :)

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Disappointing, but considering the initial people revealed to be working on the game, it would have been 100% butchered.

We've won, but at what cost?

This makes me so sad that Aperion received the cease and desist. This game really deserves a fan-made resurrection. I never felt like any legitimate company would do it justice.

Starting to think you should keep your fan projects under wraps until you are essentially done.

There is no justice in this world, smh.
