If you thought the Apple one had too many keys, stay away from this new one. 
I was going to say PC one, but years ago, there was a PC one, that was like
the Apple one, except the screens didn't come in and out in circles. 
Anyway, this new one uses at least three MORE keys, for picking up, and
using objects, and setting bombs.

I'm not sure I like the new graphics.  I think I prefer the older ones. 
Simpler.  The new one makes weird sounds, too, if you have a soundblaster.
