At least it doesn't look like a JRPG and doesn't seem to be a weird crypto scheme. The classic game screen in the bottom right corner is a nice touch.

Oh you're right - I thought the map in the lower right was the guy just adding that post edit.
But just watched someone else and it's there.
And it looks like you can place it in different areas.

So I purchased it (even though, we don't really have the money for it).
And I would have thought as the remake, they'd go nicer.
No. Not at all.
This game is still as brutally difficult as the original.
Which kudos to staying true, but I fear this is going to turn away a lot of people who won't be used to a "fair fight."
And there is no Difficulty settings.

I guess in some ways this is like the Colossal Cave remake. All of the original game mechanics are there, for better or for worse. People will either appreciate being faithful to the original or hate it for for the frustrating, dated gameplay.

Good point - it's very, very similar.
Even the UI - on how to get to inventory and such - it's all based EXACTLY off the original manual.
