Seems to be free on most platform if you already own both titles.
They seem to be offering better performance compared to the port from a couple of years ago. Has anyone tested it out to confirm?

... how did any modern port have performance issues? The original game fits in L3 cache. It expects several million operations per second. The video-card requirements were "supports 256 colors."
I had a play today and the standout changes are:
- it offers a choice between remixed audio or a recording from the devices used to author the original midi tracks (Probably some Roland device). The menus offering this choice included a preview that sounded pretty good so I picked the remix.
- it offers a choice between 1x, 2x, etc, or maximum scaling over or original resolution. For lots of retro games I find 2x to be the best balance as it allows a small visual improvement for the 3d elements without adding too much clash between any fixed 2d sprites. Despite my usual preferences I found this worked pretty well at maximum so I left it there.
