Guys just to say in terms of the *health birds*, remember the puzzles, hell the entire gameplay, has changed. If you got shot and died in one go you'd probably spend 30 minutes just trying to get through one screen.

This. The entire game is based around instant deaths. With a health bar you could theoretically skip 90% of the puzzles.
It would also be a little disappointing. AO/E were some of the last and best truly retro style games, back when games didn't spoonfeed you. With a health bar it's like they're trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and in doing so they'd be patronising old fans of the series who played the originals. Wasn't the entire point of AO that you don't have a health bar?
All that being said, everything would be fine if it was simply a difficulty setting
for the shitmunchers. Still don't see how it'd solve the puzzle problem but I'm sure they've sorted it all out.
