I got the original at back in the day from a CD in a computer magazine. Although I never had a thing for sidescrollers, I installed JnG and had endless fun. When I saw the JnGGold version bundled with JnG2 a few days ago, I bought both and realized immediately after installation that JnGGold doesn't have much to do with the original. Especially the difficulty and the balancing. In JnG original both were challenging and fun. JnGGold, on the other hand, is an unbalanced and frustrating pile of junk. I can't describe in words how disappointed I am. A game can be challenging, no problem. But if you die 5000 times at every level and then simply complete a level by stupid chance, then that has nothing to do with challenging, but is, as I said, simply frustrating. Another case of useless reworking instead of leaving a product in good memory.
