I was one of the first suckers who purchased the Manhattan Project when it 
first came out.
Don't know why you would say it's "original"?  It was a major step back in 
gaming technology, going from a simulated 3 dimensional game back to a 2 
dimensional layout, 2D is what put Apogee on the map 10 years earlier.

Manhattan Project was a huge disapointment and 3D Realms did nothing more 
than use Duke3d's previous sucess to market a game that took a step back in 
time. It was nothing more than a way to generate revenue and it was my first 
realization that 3DRealms was creating nothing more than hype with their 
outdated games.

I still don't get Max Payne, the only reason why I bought it was because 3D 
Realms developed it. Another waste of money.
