I've always had a sweet spot for this game, I used to play the demo eons ago. It is rather unknown, I've seen some people reference it here, especially due to the fact that it does some neat 3D-sound effects on the AWE32/64 cards.
So anyway, I got hold of it relatively recently and I am playing through it, so far it seems to be quite a fun game. Easy to pick up and play, lots of power ups and secret areas, classic 90's FPS level design...
Of note:
a) All of the weapons feel so satisfying. Especially the "shotgun", it really has a nice feel to it. I really think FPS games have to make the weapons feel good, not necessarily authentic. The enemies aren't that always that great and initially you're only fighting robotic enemies, which always kinda put me off.
b) Is it just me or does the game feel like it is using the Build engine? I haven't seen it referenced anywhere, but it really feels like a Build game to me. Even the mouse support works like shit, just like Build games ! 🤣
c) I can't find any graphic options unfortunately, the lack of SVGA really hurts this game, it would have looked great! Unless there is a way to enable it through command line, the game looks kinda meh in 320x200. I guess I'm spoiled 😜. It also makes sense why it never got any attention, plain VGA in 1996 FPS market wouldn't get you far.
