It's great that this is available for a new generation of gamers to enjoy. However, in these attention deficit times the pacing of the game feels slow, almost painfully so in places, as you have to watch your character walk across the screen to get to a hot spot in order to examine an item. For an old fool like me, this is not an issue, but I do wonder how a younger generation will perceive the mechanics.

It's a beautiful and immersive experience that is as fresh now as it was on its original release.
