And, a lot of platform fixes are planned, they just take a lot of time
Ah I didn't know that, that’s pretty cool. Of course, I understand these projects can take months/years but the differences are already breathtaking.

It's been a pretty good year for classic fans overall when the tomb5 project is put together with Anniversary Edition, TR1Main and a number of other projects.

I did a quick check (will do a longer one tomorrow, on my birthday lmao <3 ) and I'm loving the changes, I have three more ideas you could consider:

- On my end the loading pictures do not appear on 1920x1080x32 resolution. Would it be possible to fix that as well?

- It seems FMV videos change resolution to 320x240 or 640x480 (not sure, small one). This makes the game window behave rather terrible in fullscreen, especially on windows 10. After playing the game all my other windows were thrown into corner and made super small lol. Could it be possible to force the game to always use user-chosen resolution and the FMVs just scale to it?

- The game seems to be using float points to render everything now... Except the braid movement? The braid still seems to click to full integers when moving. It's especially noticeable when using the look button. Is it possible to fix that?

Absolutely everything about this already sounds wonderful, and I can't wait to try it on my next replay.

However, the prospect of finally fixing those awful bugs in Red Alert is beyond amazing to me! Can't wait for those!

If I may, I have a request.
Would it be possible to go directly into the 'Load Game' screen upon death, or at least preselect 'Load Game' in the main menu after dying?

Having the 'New Game' option highlighted often times leads to me starting a new game, and - even more frustrating - having to endure that flyby at the beginning of 'Streets of rome' before I can load. This is infuriating.

Yes! I always wondered why Chronicles had this, since it’s not at all present in TR4 - and they both have the same style of main menu flybys.

Maybe there's a way to restore the game over screen from consoles and load the game from there, instead of the game throwing you back to the title screen?
