I played the original on my 486-DX2 and loved it. Countless hours I played that. I just picked up the demo of the remake (Avernum: Escape from the Pit) on my Windows tablet, and it works perfectly. It's not made for touch in any way, but the touch mostly just works. There are only a handful of situations where I wish the controls were improved, but the UI, while not modern, works just fine.

Try the remake. The demo is free.

I actually bought Avernum: Escape from the Pit on both my iPad and on Steam. And I still haven't put more than an hour into it (on either platform).

Really, I think the biggest difference is just that I don't have as much time to play games as I did growing up, and there are exponentially more games now that demand my attention than there were back then.
