I just bought this game last night. It's worth every penny (no DRM, and you can switch back and forth between operating systems without trouble; I've played on Debian Jessie native as well as wine..)
This is a funny but mildly challenging game that kids seem to like too, and it's not scary, adult, or violent; I half expected to see the Mystery Mobile pull up and Scooby and Daphne jump out.. or maybe Cruella De Vil. The music is a perfect fit.
I never played the original, but this seems like a nearly flawless remaster with great new art, audio, and animations and seems to be like a perfectly working Linux port. Even cooler, you can press F1 in any scene and see it morph into the old pixel art.
It's $8.99 at GOG while on sale[1]. Absolutely worth it and kudos to Cheese for a great Linux port.

- mhurron 10y agoIf you liked this, you might also want to checkout Grim Fandango if you haven't already.
- eru 10y agoAnd the first two Monkey Island games, that got a remake.
- ajsalminen 10y agoThe remakes haven't been ported to Linux.
- eru 10y agoOh, that's a shame. Got to keep playing the un-remade versions on ScummVM then.
- Cheeseness 10y agoSuper glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
- SloopJon 10y agoI wish GOG was more transparent about native vs. emulated titles. I'm much more inclined to buy a native port like this than something that uses DOSBox.
- makomk 10y agoI think GOG's non-remastered versions of many older point and click adventures use ScummVM, which is about as close to native as many of them ever were - a lot of them were written in various forms of machine-independent bytecode running on an interpreter.
