>>11075222>Fright Zone was just a literal copy of the originalOk, so two things about this sentiment:
First, what do you think Origins is? The whole line has two basic jobs. Finish vintage and accurately recreate the toys of vintage. Neither can be accomplished without Fright Zone and if Fright Zone radically goes off on a tangent.
And two, it wasn't even "literally" a copy. It added a bunch just like Snake Mountain did while staying true to the spirit of the original. It added the piranha plants from the concept version of FZ, added the rock monster from the minicomics to replace the foothold trap, and added an escape backdoor to the dungeon (I don't think the vintage had that, I'll be really embarrassed if I'm wrong.) plus smaller tweaks like giving the spooky tree a face.
"New" is about all that snake Lair had going for it over FZ, because from what we saw, it certainly doesn't beat it in features. It has, what? An iron maiden and a gun on the roof?
