Origins screwed the game up. No challenge, MP system was messed up, and they started using undescriptive names for spells (fira or something instead of Fire, Fire2, Fire3)

Are you sure you're not thinking of the gba remake of 1&2? In that one, it's piss easy and they changed the magic system to MP vs. spell charges like how Wizardry and Dungeons and Dragons did it.

If so, I'm not a fan of that one very much at all.

This is my review of it on Amazon here from 2015: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1PCKP4SXXIHMS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00030GS8A

Pixel remaster comes the closest, but I still prefer to play the NES version.

I have that on Steam and didn't like it nearly as much as the NES version, mostly because the fonts are small and crappy, the screen tears when you walk around, and there just seems to be way too much negative space on every screen. Like for example the battle will have these huge swaths of nothingness and the stats screen is populated by tiny texts in the giant rectangles.

Plus I think they used friggin' ARIAL for the font.. That sucks! I got the Switch version of Dragon Quest 3 and it's the same thing here- the font selection just looks plain bad to me.
