The look is different but seems nice enough. Not much dialogue in the trailer, which is the thing that caused so many people to remember the first games so fondly. The dialogue was so fresh funny and energetic in the original games, like if Monty Python at their peak had made a game.

Fingers crossed the magic is still there, and the jokes are irreverent as ever.

Maybe the HN crowd is too young, but both MI 1 and 2 were originally released on floppy disc, and had no voiced dialogue at all, just text on the screen.

They didn't have voices until they were re-released in 2010.


Yes I first played the first two games on Amiga with just text. I didn't mean to talk about voiced dialogue specifically, but the script in general.


floppy discS :)
