"Truly awful controls, plus the absolute worst save-game system ever devised...and by that I mean, it doesn't. Save that is. Everything's copascetic when you start playing fdor a while, until you go to quit game and find out, you can't. No, you can't quit the game, because it won't let you. I'm not kidding. It's impossible to do a normal save and quit, or even to just quit, you have to restart your computer to stop playing. If you can find a work-around for that, you might have fun playing this game - I searched seemingly everywhere, couldn't find any mod or code that would allow me to quit and just gave up..."
I finally tried playing this game again, and was amazed to find it actually worked how it was supposed to. Saving the game and exiting were now working as they should have been from the get-go and you could actually play the game. Unfortunately, for me at least, it's too little too late - the graphics are archaic and have not aged well (as they have for other classic games I often replay, like Tomb Raider 3/Last Revelation/Chronicles, Half-life, or Max Payne) and the game play is just average. But if you want to give this obsolete game a try it's ok to do that now.
