Through a combination of Steam sales and a desire to play something ‘oldy worldy’ I came across this,
an undisputed point-and-click classic (and a member of the GB Hall of Fame) that spawned numerous
sequels and which had a completely inappropriate title (Circle of Blood) in some parts of the world.
That this reforging ignored that circle is the first of a number of positives.

Giving an older game a bit of spit and polish is a positive in itself. I accept that this might not be a
universally held view, but I do tend to like a spruced-up version.

Sprucing though doesn’t guarantee a worthy experience. Like many things, a game is a product of its time,
and it might be that it should have been left there. The original was released 30 years ago, and while there
are some slightly cringy bits, on the whole the game stands up really well.
