Huh, I didn't know they were making a new game. Actually, I don't think I ever knew about the ones in the 2000s/2010s either.

Same. The only one I remember at all was the original one from 1992. It was really cool back then as it was one of a very few titles that did things "3D", but as I recall it wasn't a very fun game. I mostly just ran it to see the cool 3D stuff. Never got into it.

I remember thinking the controls were hopelessly clunky, and the objectives very poorly explained, so it just wound up being a matter of wandering around aimlessly in a 3D environment with your character occasionally being attacked by something scary you couldn't adequately defend yourself against.
