Mmm... That's the first 3D game I ever played.
(Unless you count 3 minutes playing the shareware version of Doom, or an
afternoon "playing" Gloom. My God, that game sucked so badly...)
Of course, I was playing it on a machine with 16 MB RAM. I actually
thought it was *normal* for loading a level to take 20 minutes! And
needless to say, no 3D hardware. Bilinear interpolation? What's that
then? Still, if you turn the resolution down low enough, it's almost
playable.
I presume it goes without saying that playing it on a more meaty machine
was quite shocking for me. Loading the next level was *instant*! o_O
There were *coloured lights*. And bilinear filtering makes everything
look much better...
I wonder if it would actually play on my current PC? Somehow, I doubt it.
