Still have the original box and cds in the attic. Loved that game as a kid but was never able to finish it - similar to Grim Fandango in my memory.

I got almost to the end of Grim Fandango and it bugged and I couldn't find the thing the walk through said I should! It was very frustrating.

Watched a friend of mine play some of it. All I remember is the game repeatedly saying "pistachio!"

I liked how it came with a pair of blue and red anaglyph glasses that are only used at the very end of the game. I had lost them before I got there years after I bought it, most of the puzzles were complete bs.

John Cleese as the bomb was a particularly fun role. This game just had a ton of personality.

The notion of a "full size" screen shot has changed a bit in twenty years.

Well, it hasn't as that postage stamp was the full size of the asset.

I would gladly pay $20 to get this the same treatment as Star Trek: Borg

That game was not really remastered, but instead they "used AI to remaster the original game footage to HD quality using a rare Japanese DVD release of the game". It is also not an official release (the game is not sold in any digital platforms, unfortunately).

Clicking on "Mac version of Starship Titanic launches" leads to 404 not found.

Edit: I'm not sure what OP's relationship to site is so maybe my post is useless.

It's a 26-year-old marketing site, so probably no changes coming, no.

The.FAQ is pretty fun. Be sure to check out the mailing list sign up page -- there's a pretty funny pull down menu there.
