Play as Jade, a young investigative reporter, and expose a terrible government conspiracy. It is up to you and your loyal pig friend Pey'j to save your planet and its inhabitants.
Steam version was inferior to GOG. It was definitely missing the multi core CPU fix and maybe even still had TAGES protection (not sure about that one).
Remasters can be good, but publishers should always keep the original available. If I really like a remaster, I may be interested in trying the original as well. There’s no downside to listing the old game unless the new one sucks enough to make the old, cheaper version more attractive.
Do a good job and I may buy both. Put a notice on the old one to point users at the new one, and consider offering a bundle of old and new so users can compare.
Take Diablo 2 for example, which is epic level of remaster. The game is virtually identical to the original. It’s just working better on modern hardware and can be played in high resolution with shinier graphics. But you can still turn it to (almost) 1:1 copy of original with single keypress. I’m all for this.
And now take Warcraft 3 remaster from the “same Blizzard”… This is an example of how things should NOT be done.
Given both these coming from the same company, there’s no telling in how any remaster will turn out in the end. Which is… not very reassuring?
Well, I did not even know this. And I’ve played HELL OF A LOT of Diablo 2 over LAN years and years ago. But ever since then I’ve had no use for LAN play… LAN parties were a thing decade and half ago (at least where I live) and playing with my game buddy was simplified over internet (steam, battle.net). I still remember dark days of convincing Hamachi to work…

No, a remaster is not the same. They can be hit or miss. Delisting a game is just another way of erasing history.

I agree remasters are hit or miss.

Diablo 2 is also a great example because while in general it is a very good remaster it lacks the LAN play of the original. Features were taken away.
