Feel free to rate and discuss this game.
Good, but gets a bit repetitive towards the later levels particularily that wasteland level
The DOS version is the only version that has blood. It also has a soundtrack unique to that version. (all subsequent versions for consoles, handhelds and Macs were different and censored)
There is a Pentium problem with this game's speed. In 1994 it wasn't a big deal since only the rich and daring had Pentium 60/66's when this came out. With that in mind, this is definitely a game strictly for the 486 processor. Other 5th generation CPUs like the K5 and Cyrix5x86 suffer the same problem.
I think it works fine on 386 too, but I have not tested that yet. I can't see why it wouldn't, i mean it doesn't scroll or animate more than 64x64 sprites on top of palette cycling environments.
