Played the original, and the 2004 remake, and recently re-played the remake. It's available on Steam and GOG - if I remember correctly, the offline installer from GOG makes it easier to add some quality-of-life mods to help it run better on modern computers.

This, Civilization, the Wizardry remake, and a few old Ultimas brought back some great memories.

I'll have to go play through the Scott Adams Adventures again, too. Wonder if I can get my family engaged in those?

How does it feel playing the 2004 remake these days?

I remember I loved it and found it better than the original game (heresy, I know!) except the "simlish" they speak drove me nuts. If only the had used English for the voices, it would have been a perfect game. If there was a mod that did that, I would consider buying it in GOG. (Yes, back then I played a pirated copy. Playing pirated Pirates seems fitting!).

Then again, maybe I'm looking at it through rose tinted glasses?
