Is this different from the original Temple of Ememental Evil? The village of Hommlet?

The Temple of Elemental Evil is an adventure module for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting. The module was published by TSR, Inc. in 1985 for the first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules.

I played this back when came out, made the switch from DnD to ADnD.

I haven't played it myself, but the 2003 game was a PC adaptation of that module, and this is the remaster of that game. I hear it's about as good an adaptation of tabletop module to cRPG as you can get.

It's more like a reformat, the devs didn't have access to the original source code, and the original game was delisted and didn't run on modern systems, even the GoG version is problematic.

This is more like a repackage with mods, it actually includes some content from a large modding community called Circle of 8, and the devs donated $10,000 to a charity on their behalf as a thank you.

@Apeman42 @lemmie689 The game is dnd 3/3.5 based though

Yes this is based on the original module, and is a repackage of the game that came out years ago, not technically a remaster.

I've actually never played D&D (it wasn't really a thing in Eastern Europe), but it seems to be clearly inspired by the D&D setting.

Not inspired, it's literally an official module/adventure made into a videogame.
