Should I play the original QFG2 or the remake?

I'm not much of a fan of text parsers tbh, but it's an unofficial(?? was this licensed?) remake.

Only played QfG 1 but that was the VGA version cause I'm a scrub. Whenever I get around to play QfG 2 I might do the EGA version over the fan remake, not sure.

It's a fan remake, but it fucks with the combat and a few other things I forget, I hated it. EGA fo lyfe.

Specifically it tried to make combat more "arcadey" sort of what like QFG 4 tried to do (and also failed at). So timed shots, extra moves, and crap like that. I prefer typing out "fight, fight, parry, fight" and then either being the winner, or dead.

Is it like the QFG1 VGA version?

No, it's a lot more complicated. More timing, actually having to dodge. I kept getting killed which never EVER happened in OG QFG2.

Having played both I think the original feels better.

Also the original has the best EGA I've ever seen.
