I like the fact that the visual and musical aesthetic forced on early game designers by hardware limitations is now a desirable attribute in a new game. From the video the game looks and sounds great... In fact, I just bought it! Will report on my experience with the Linux version.
I don't know anyone under that age of 30, do the kids like the "8-bit" thing as well? :)
edit The Linux version is an Adobe Air package. Will try it out later.
