— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Surprisingly still holds up to this day. Old, but still perfectly playable. For people complaining that it messes up resolutions, they need to realise they are running a 30 year old game emulated via DOSBox. There's a configuration tool in the game folder, too. It won't be…”
