Personally, I’m pumped for this game. I’m also a little worried that it’ll pale in comparison to the original 2D classic, but on paper the premise sounds great – I just hope they can execute on all their promises.
I’m sure I remember playing this on my PC back in the day, (maybe 15 years ago) and I’m pretty sure it was a 3D game. Maybe you are thinking of something else? Seem to remember it being pretty amazing back then – worried it might be a bit meh by today standards now though. Still, might give it a whirl when it’s a little cheaper.
