Yep, it does.hippy dave wrote:according to the linked article, it does indeed include the ability to switch between old & new looks.
Overall it plays pretty well . Only nitpick I have is that while they use the same kind of touchpad control that ScummVM does, the sensitivity is set way too low for me (you have to swipe all the way across the screen twice, to move the cursor across once. Whereas in ScummVM half the length will move the cursor the whole way).
There's nothing at all to change it in the options ?Vinterstum wrote:Yep, it does.hippy dave wrote:according to the linked article, it does indeed include the ability to switch between old & new looks.

I bought it the day it came out. It's good if you want to play with the new graphics and audio, but to play the original game you're better off with ScummVM. For some reason, when you switch to 'classic mode' it scales down and doesn't fill the whole screen resulting in some pixellation. There are also some bugs: for example when you talk to the dog in the Scumm Bar, the screen goes black instead of showing the closeup image.
So for nostalgia, stick to ScummVM.
To play the new version with voiceovers etc, get the App.
EDIT: There aren't really any options (volume controls, sensitivity etc). It strikes me that it could have done with more development before release... I bet there'll be some patches soon.
