No. Nope. No thank you. Hard pass. I mean just look at the video on the steam store page for this one and you can see the player fighting the controls just to exit the first building. Also, the game wasn't optimized for new computers at all. The speed of everything is way off. Most unforgivable is the lack of the original manual. What am I supposed to do with if I don't have a manual? Forget the mechanics and game play, the stupid thing still has old school manual based copy protection that asks for something from the manual. I don't remember how I came to own this, but the thought that I might have paid more than nothing for it now angers me.

So old of a game. I personally didn't enjoy it.

I can see why someone could enjoy it a bit back in the day, but nowadays it is a very dated game and the gameplay doesn't seem interesting enough to balance it out. Not only it lacks a lot of quality of life features, but also has uninteresting gameplay mechanics, including combat, simple dialogues and areas are large and confusing (unnecessarily as they are mostly without content) while there is no map so you have to map everything yourself. Quests are generic and have little dialogues as well. Perhaps if you have played it in 90s and are nostalgic I can see why you would want to replay it, but otherwise I can't really recommend it.

game text was bigger than UI box for some reason meaning it would cut off.

Bringing back games from the past is cool, but this is unplayable without some minimal adaptations.

[strike]Apparently the DRM can be bypassed by simply typing 'on'Either that or I got REALLY lucky. Then I locked myself out of mouse controls. 10/10But seriously, if you have a game like this with hard-coded DRM that relies on information OUTSIDE the game, you either easily give access to said information, or YOU BYPASS IT IN GAME.[/strike] Seems it WAS bypassed. I still managed to soft lock myself out of the controls.
