The original looks fine; it’s gone from ‘okay for 2000’, through to ‘dated’ and back to ‘retro charm’ again. Plus you can turn up the resolution and fps to silly levels, which wasn’t the originally intended effect but is pretty nice.
All early 3D games look so bad that the slight year-on-year improvements are nearly irrelevant now. A hideous AI texture ‘upgrade’ doesn’t bring it to to modern standards, and distracts from the truly amazing game behind it all.
The funny thing is the original is only playable with fan patches so technically I can see demand for a remaster. They just really fumbled this in a weird way.
I didn’t ask for this.

as in “it does not work on Win 10”?
Because I found it playable, myself. It was on Win 7, if I remember correctly.
I enjoyed the original just fine on windows 2000. I didn’t even know there were fan patches.
Ok, Adam
As a fan of Brutalmoose’s retro streams, this is an affront
I like them as well, I just wish he wouldn’t include games for literal toddlers… Nobody can make that shit interesting.
I find them plenty interesting during Bingo… and Humongous games always slap
Just not for me I guess… not trying to watch a grown play some janky old Putt-Putt “adventure game” made for 4 year olds. It’s painful.
That’s fair! I do want that. It’s nostalgic.
My first thought. I still regularly see the original in top 10 lists to this day. Not sure who asked for this.
