I've drug out Bioshock. I still fumble around with weapon switching (it's
a bit obtuse), but I am much better at the game than when I first played
it. Closing in on the first boss now. "Remastered" doesn't seem to do
much other than make the install bigger, or maybe my memories are wrong.

Mostly, the Remastered version was an attempt to bring the console
versions up to the level of the original PC visuals, and the PC
version --which already looked great-- didn't really get much
improvement. The differences really are minute, and in the actual game
it's /really/ hard to notice them. (here's a video showcasing a few of
the changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzMlk8Fpwvk). In some
instances, the old version looks better; in others, the Remastered is
better, but overall it's a wash.

The Remastered is probably the better version to play but if you
already own the original it's not worth paying to upgrade.

I had bought the original Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite on my own.

I have since taken advantage of so many freebies that I think I have Bio,
Bio2, both remasters, Bio Infinite, and probably some other Bioshock
related game in GOG, Epic, and Steam.

Oh, that's right! I think I got the original DOS Pipe Dream game (1989)
and the WEP Pipe Dream (1991) as part of the deal*.
