Nice to see Cinemaware back in action - but not with games like this please!
The Good
The background graphics are nicely drawn.
The Bad
Everything else :)
First of all, the gameplay sucks - it's repetitive and thus pretty boring. What makes it worse is the fact that the game was programmed in Flash - which may be okay if the game wouldn't rely on good controls. Unfortunately, the controls are jerky and unprecise - yes, Flash isn't best choice for game development :)
Well, and the "remastered" sound... the speech sounds like it was remastered by recording it off a PC speaker and then compressing it to 22khz low-bitrate MP3, the sound effects sound crappy too (as the music does but not THAT crappy).
With this game, Cinemaware releases a product which doesn't even remotely fit in their good reputation and may break it.
The Bottom Line
As the website puts it:
"Although enhanced, both graphics and sound will remain true to the style of the original products."
Who didn't know before that advertisements are lying to the customer, he should know after buying and playing this rubbish.
