Wow! All the downsides of Skylanders-esque toy collecting, coupled with Disney's infamous price gouging, *and* with content that looks like it was put together over a weekend*! Sign me up!!!
The original is still one of my favorites. In fact, I've played it again within the last year or so. I still have my original Overworld Map and the hand-drawn Dungeon Maps I created -- probably 20 years ago. I still have notes, too, about where to bomb and what bush to burn! Truly a great game because it was challenging yet managable. As the series evolved, I found myself feeling *less* engaged -- there was just too much to keep track of. As the author praising the original observed, I too just didn't feel like I "owned" these more expansive and complex spaces like I could with this one.
