Runs fine on my bog standard Toshiba laptop with good speed.
Seriously. Took me by surprise. Not the greatest graphics (have to run
it medium mode) but it's not crashed at all. In fact it's very stable.
My problem is I find it VERY difficult (esp the later levels) but I'm
probably a crap player. Now where are those trainers/cheats.... ;-(
