Played the original many years ago, looking forward to this.

Oh wow, this brings back memories! Played the original a looong time ago, loved it, I remember being really hooked at the time.

Sadly, that didn't really pan out - at some point I got the dreaded game-breaking bug (PC version). Despite that, I was so keen on the game that I actually started over and followed all the requisite tips to not get the bug - and got it again. So I never finished it... Hopefully they actually ironed out the kinks. This is one "enhanced" edition I might actually keep an eye out for!
