Thanks for the welcome! I'm yet another 1up refugee, although I don't really blog, just read and comment. Of all the places I've checked out since the 1up announcement, this place has looked this best.
I recently downloaded and played this game and I have to say I agree with this review. I played the original a pretty good amount on the C64 back in the day, and still have a great deal of nostalgia for it. But they really didn't add anything for the remake. I could play a game like this over and over again back when it came out (probably didn't hurt that I was also very young), but nowadays I need a little more to hold my attention.
This remake was fun while it lasted, but after playing it once (with all 3 suitors) I haven't really had a desire to play it a second time. I think I made it to the final guy, and maybe one day I'll try to beat it.
Still, I don't regret buying it (especially since I got it on sale), but I'm not sure I could recommend it to others unless they were fans of the original. To me at least, the 30 or so minute nostalgia trip (with updated graphics!) was worth it.
