This game actually changed my life. I played it, probably too young to really understand it, in middle school after being enamored by DeceasedCrab's playthrough, and the beautiful pixel art, cryptic and highly expansive world and incredible music just entranced me. It's fair to say that this game has been my biggest artistic inspiration for everything I've done. I don't know how well this version would hold up if someone were to play it nowadays instead of the remake but to me this is the perfect game.

From a graphic designer's perspective, I find this version to be aesthetically superior.

@halk3n I agree so much. I wasn't interested in the Remake for many years because I thought it looked alot less interessting visually. Many Retro Style games just decide their style is a vaguely NES Inspired 8 Bit but La Mulana went the extra mile to make something unique among those games. The MSX Style suits it very well
