It's awful. I bought it, played it for about 3-4 hours and gave up.
Graphics and sound are okay. The game plays very slowly, even on my
486-33. Much of the game seems to consist of going on missions, and such
exciting missions: go and pick up X and deliver it to Y etc.
Lots of bugs too. Probably about as good as Pool of Radiance, but then
this is 1993, not 1988.
The game was trashed in reviews.
