[QUOTE="Vincent55, post: 9583866, member: 7037991"] when a thing becomes popular and mainstream it gets altered and watered down to the point that you lose what that was. After it falls out of the spotlight it can return to what it once was for those who loved it before all the added attention. Once the true spirit returns to the game I think many like my self might think about returning to see what the reverted edition looks like. But for now, this is not my version of the game i liked and will stick with the older ones and some retro-clones for now.
