What players say

Players overwhelmingly praise this as a nostalgic childhood classic, with many calling it the first game they ever played. The combat is janky but versatile with tons of weapons, and the time-traveling levels keep things fresh. Players note it is much harder than they remember, and some report the Steam version is missing the original narrated intro.
