✦ AI summary

Players praise this nostalgic classic for remaining enjoyable despite its age and technical quirks, with keyboard and mouse being the preferred control method. Common complaints center on gamepad support being problematic and requiring extensive remapping, plus aiming difficulties without aim assist, though some note the game runs well with the right technical tweaks applied.

Childhood classic which I completed on KB+M. Tried on EasySMX X20 gamepad this time. Had to enable G-Input mode + disable the steam controller. It was atrocious. I had to remap half of buttons. Aiming is extremely hard since there is no aim assist and sensitivity is insane. I don't know why I did this to myself, game is 20 times easier if you use KB+M. Anyways, tech. aside, game is awesome.

Not a bad port of the old game. It's been fun taking a nostalgic trip with a keyboard and mouse instead.
