Possible disadvantages

• Nostalgia Factor
  For some players, the modern graphics may detract from the nostalgic experience of playing the original game.
• Interface Changes
  Some players may find the updated interface less intuitive or more cumbersome compared to the original point-and-click mechanics.
• Pacing Issues
  The addition of voice acting can occasionally slow down the game's pacing, as dialogue sequences are extended compared to the original text-only format.
• Lack of New Content
  The Special Edition primarily focuses on aesthetic and audio improvements, so those looking for new story content may be disappointed.
• Puzzle Difficulty
  Some puzzles remain quite challenging and might frustrate players not familiar with the point-and-click adventure genre.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
