I remember picking this game up on the Saturn back in like 1997 or so. I had never heard of nor played either of the games (I didn't even have a PC at the time), but it looked cool, so I decided to give it a whirl. Aside from a rather complicated control scheme (and some super boring cutscenes), the game was a blast and kept me busy for weeks. I never managed to finish it, but I made it pretty far. Many years later, I picked up a used copy on PS1 for a couple of bucks and decided to give that version a try. As far as I could tell, the ports are identical, but this time I finished my journey! I've always wanted to revisit the game on PC, but the wonky animations just don't seem quite right to me. I need to load up the PS1 version and see if it worked the same, it's been a good 10 years since I played it.

I'd never played it before but gave it a shot this past weekend. It was the first time in awhile I'd had to actually refer to a manual for controls But after I got the controls figured out (using the numpad nonetheless, which I've never preferred in any other game), it's been a blast! Haven't yet even beaten the first level though, I think I was stuck and couldn't figure out where to go.
