What players say
Players overwhelmingly approach this as a nostalgia purchase, and long-time fans are happy to revisit Microprose's 1992 classic. Several note that the Steam release lacks the original's Mechanical Reliability and Navigation settings, and some report a broken launcher. Newer players find the gameplay slow and difficult, calling it a game of its time.
