Gameplay / Re: Coming back to the game

Thanks for your replies!
I decided to put off starting a new game and see if I could get back into my old one (it's been over 6 months!), and I think it's worked/working. I've revisited loads of places, found a couple of new treasures & a new friend, and got into a new area. The music is obviously familiar but it's almsot as if I'm enjoying it for the first time again! It's great to see some of the old scenery and have fun jumping around in the Veil! When I have some time I want to revisit the Frozen Veil again, I remember that being nice.

Gameplay / Coming back to the game

Hi Everyone. I just have a quick question to ask you; has anybody had experience with coming back to Aquaria after a long time away from it?
I ask because I am trying to do this. I got quite far into the game (around 12 hours, I got the sun form), then my PC broke. I bought a new PC, but heard about the widescreen update coming, and seeing as the new PC had a widescreen monitor, decided to wait.
So, I've downloaded the game again and loaded up my old save file, only to find myself staring blankly at the screen and making kind of "whuh? bluh?" noises. I've tried starting a new game just to get used to the controls in an easy environment, though what I'm really interested to know is: Has anybody in a similar situation managed to get back into the game easily by re-exploring areas in their old game, or would you recommend starting anew?
Thanks in advance.
Richard
