One of my all time favorite games has been remade. Now featuring VGA graphics and point and click interface.
Best of all, its 100% free. A Voice addon pack will be released soon.
"The House of the Venerable and Inscrutable Colonel was what they called it when they were speaking Chinese. Venerable because of his goatee, white as the dogwood blossom, a badge of unimpeachable credibility in Confucian eyes. Inscrutable because he has gone to his grave without divulging the Secret of the Eleven Herbs and Spices."

Since I'm stuck in the '80s, I downloaded and have started playing it. It seems a little buggy; the IA forums appear to bear this out. But you can't beat the price. I don't remember playing this before, but then again I was more into the Leisure Suit Larry franchise at the time.
Update: A little late in posting, but the Creators of this remake have released v2.0 and a Voice Pack. I've sampled a bit of it and it's pretty decent.
