What players say

Players revisit this for strong nostalgia, but the Steam version is buggy: it crashes, progress fails to save, and the original music and voiceover poems are missing. The core gameplay, managing an African ecosystem by balancing predator and prey, still holds up and gets challenging on harder difficulties.
