Aspyr has been having a good run bringing back old classics, with their recent release of some of the Soul Reaver games last December, but looking at their work with Star Wars titles in particular, there’s something to be said about the resulting products. That’s not to say that they’ve not been doing good work since there’s only so much you can polish a game that wasn’t a gem to begin with. Then again, given the amount of attention that Raziel’s adventures got and how they were improved upon for their remasters, it’s a head-scratcher why the same could not be done for this as well. Maybe if Nightdive Studios were the ones doing it, perhaps that would have happened.
Loco Motive is a gem to behold for lovers of the genre or casuals alike. It’s an obvious recommendation made not just because I’m an adventure gaming fan writing this review, but as someone who appreciates a good game, and god dammit, this is one of those! You’d do well picking this up regardless of which system you own – you won’t be disappointed.

As per usual, I hold out hope that Zen Studios will be able to get ahold of even more properties, including those from companies outside of Williams such as Stern and Gallob. So far, though, their picks have been excellent and Williams Pinball Volume 8 makes Pinball FX even harder to put down.
