I think it's a fun game, not the greatest in the world, but probably worth 
the $30.  It runs well on my rig with all detail maxed (tho' I'm having a 
problem right now with a framerate loss when I'm in FPS mode inside my 
ship...only place it happens, very strange).

Here's a link to an Octopus Overlord thread which contain a fairly long 
review of it by me (Corvus Corax).  The review's about halfway down the 
thread:

You know, I really fanboyed the hell out of the first Parkan back in 1999 
(google group search "DocScorpio and Parkan" to see what I mean).  Several 
peeps bought it on my recommendation and some were none too happy with it. 
For that reason, I'm trying to be a bit more restrained this time around, 
but don't know if I'm succeeding. :)

Anyway, if you have any doubts, don't buy it.  I may just have a 
psychological fixation on it or something. ;)
