The box, manual and disks are in great condition seeing the age of this game.

A cool intro theme with plenty of menace, and a perfect piece of music for when the mutants pop up. Different to the original, but just as effective.

Ignore the screenshots. The game is dark (but that's what monitor brightness controls are for!), but that adds to the atmosphere and makes it scarier. All the plot twists/developments are there from the original game, with cutscenes (basic, but still good). Like I said, this remake is a little rough around the edges, but I think it's fantastic - Scarier than the original, and with a very cool feeling to it. Highly recommended! It also runs at a decent speed on my old Pentium III.

I didn't knew somebody made a 3D remake of it! Does it have the same story/plot like in the original? The screenshots look a bit dark, maybe he should have made them a bit brighter.

There is also a really good 3D (1st-person) fan remake of this game! The author only had 2.5 months to complete it for a competition, so it's a little rough around the edges, but it's scary as hell, and I think, a really good tribute to this classic game! You can download it here. It's been scaring the pants off me and keeping me up 'til 5am the last couple of nights, so that should be recommendation enough for you! http://www.remakes.org/comp2006/screenshots.php?page=8 I played this game for the first time recently (Yep, thanks to the WinVICE emulator), and it is fantastic.
