...and it totally kicks a**, however the game play can be very difficult and take a while to get through.  That's not neccessarily a bad thing though, too many times these days games can be beaten in a weeks times.  So  it's nice to have a game I can keep returning to and continue my challenge.  If the 'Gold' is the same as the original only better than you'll be  pleased with it for sure.  I play on a 450hz AMD-K2 ProStar laptop w/ only  4mb of video power and the graphics are still awesome.
