I still own the old original cd-rom version, even though it is unplayable due to scratches and once in a while I tend to pick this game up on Scumm to play it again, even though I know every little dialouge and all the riddles.This is a great game with great humor, great puzzles, loveable characters and enjoyable soundtrack. This was the first game in my life I ever got to play and finish. It brings back great memories of self drawn maps and being forced to remain stuck on riddles for ages because you could not ask the internet for the solutions.I really do recommend the game itself, because it is just awesome, but... I don't recommend this version.- the new cursors are cancer to the eyes- the "new" graphics look like\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665compared to the original pixel-graphicsIf you can look over the \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 new cursors and be happy with changing all the "new" features back to "classic playmode", then go and get this gem. If this would hurt your eyes too much, look out for the Scumm version.I would have gladly paid for this game in its original version, but being told it is a great 25th anniversary version that is just \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665t and take money for it.. it is kind of a rip off. :<. Only runs in full screen, offers no way to change this, or the monitor it's running on. Sadly my main monitor is 43" 4K, making it a massive headache to play.. This game is using ScummVM 1.8which has a known issue on newer versions of windwos 10 which causes random mouse jumping. see> http:\/\/forums.scummvm.org\/viewtopic.php?p=85213&sid=f568ec6c8744512cc51f3c58c77fbb7d This was fixed in later recent versions of ScummVM (2.0) Also the "New" textures are just a filter and look absolutely horiable, if you want to buy this and play it use the classic graphics. The new icons do not match the aesthetics of the game. The MT-32 Sound settings sounds off.. This game meant so much to me growing up with an Amiga 600 (9 precious blue floppy disks for the game!) that I cannot sit by without leaving a review. And while I am left a little disappointed regarding a couple of playability issues, I cannot in good conscious leave this a bad review.First of all, I agree with the other reviews in that this is not a remaster in the way you would expect, but bear in mind they don't call this a remaster (- High-end graphics upscaling (xBRZ filter) for high-resolution displays - As stated on the store page.) The graphics have been smoothed with a filter and looks pretty enough, but lacks the original character and detail. No problem; original graphics are there as an option.\t(It is being compared to the Monkey Island remasters which had freshly drawn graphics throughout, but that always looked strange to me, a bit rushed and inconsistent and put me off.)The controls have some issues just now, but the developer is working on it and has already updated. I read that there are also plans regarding the look of the new cursor and hotspot options which make the game friendlier to play and easier to solve - controvertial to some loyal fans but arguably important to introduce it to the new generation - so it looks like they are listening to the community to make sure new and old fans are satisfied. It wasn't until years later before I actually finished the game myself, because the internet wasn't available enough to find out where that tiny little item I could never find was, but I don't think it would have had such an imprint on me if I had the option to just highlight the things I couldn't see.Just avoid the temptation to turn it back on. Puzzle solving is unaffected though, and remains as obtuse and rewarding as it was.I'd love to play this touchscreen with a Windows tablet, but it doesn't really seem to work unfortunately.The music is a big thing for me. Debate all you may but the Amiga had a much better sound than the PC MIDI at the time, and I can't play DOS versions of Civ, Cannon Fodder, Monkey Island, anything at all without cringing at the music. Many game soundtracks back then were created on the Amiga (I don't know if it was the case for Simon) and it always felt sweeter and more balanced than it's MIDI counterpart.It's the same here. I love the new recordings, great job! But it still not right to me. Some of the instruments and phrases always stood out more, so hearing it with a different balance and timbre feels like hearing a translation in a thick accent using the wrong inflections. This is a problem between the original platforms though, and the new recording to me sounds much superior to the Windows version. I just have to try and import the Amiga soundtrack to peak my nostalgic trip. Anyone who grew up with the PC version will probably have the opposite reaction and I'm happy for them.The game itself is a comedy masterpiece full of fantasy references, memorable original characters with witty and sarcastic dialogue, absurd jokes and fiendishly creative puzzles, and Smeg Head himself voicing the main dude! I have no idea how many times over the last 20 years I have watched a movie or read a book for the first time and went "Aaaah! So that's where that comes from!" I didn't know anything about The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings or Discworld or anything at the time, but getting into those franchises felt immediately familiar. It's like watching Simpsons episodes from 20 years ago and realizing you only just got the joke. But that doesn't mean the episode wasn't funny at the time. Do you know what I mean?Overall most definitely worth a fiver. If you're old enough to remember it, you can afford it. If you're not, I'd say take the gamble. Couple of kinks but they're on top of it.. Simon the Sorcerer is one of the best adventure games ever. I remember him as something that made my childhood a better place. mojotouch did a great job and brought us the game back after many years with many innovations and graphics enhancements and many other good things.And what makes me particularly happy is that the game has also been translated into my mother tongue - Hebrew.I highly recommend it.. Only runs in full screen, offers no way to change this, or the monitor it's running on. Sadly my main monitor is 43" 4K, making it a massive headache to play.. A classic. The original graphics option is there which is good. Great puzzling, despite a few puzzles that would have been easily solved, but the developer hadn't thought of them. One part annoyed me very much (spoilers): Suggesting items for the peddler\/haggler to buy is time consuming and at the end, POINTLESS: You can't suggest the item in dialog, you have to GIVE him the item and then the haggling begins.I recommend.
