I'm finding it difficult to get into this game. It looks worse than the 90's games it pays homage too running on a modern emulator, owing to a rendering resolution that is much too low. This is made all the worst by maps that are too busy. It fails to utilize any of lessons learned in UIX in the 30 years since the 90s. On the other hand, the music is great and the sound effects are appropriate. I recommend giving it a try--as my complains are subjective.
