Performance

I think it’s absolutely worth playing through the first episode, if only to appreciate where the FPS genre began.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The image quality is improved with high resolution textures, and the game runs smoother than ever before.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The colourful sprites still look pretty good, the sound effects are quaint but add so much atmosphere, the music by Bobby Prince is iconic.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I then quickly discovered ECWolf, which adds many of the quality of life features you'd expect in a modern port: high resolutions, better controls (when customized), controller support, automap, quick save/load, etc.
