Gorky 17

Due to the fact that this game has massive issues running on modern systems. For example, on mine (Win7 32 bit) it simply doesn't. No solutions are known either, so that was money well spent. Be aware of this potential (but highly probable) issue before buying the game.

i understand the game is old. so no claims on graphics but the control is quite strange....

It is heavily flawed, has loads of glitches, even when the original game was released it was bugged, and i never saw any patches for them. Xp only ,and the graphics hardware mode is okay only with a few graphic boards. When i got myself a brand new PC, it also meant the graphics board was new. And the problems arose: lots of games like gorky needed to be run in software mode, which is painful for the eyes, cause the hardware mode was best. The videos crashed the game , thats true... but all in all the game has very good atmosphere. I have loads of old games on retail cd, to bad lots of the wont work on my win7 64 bit, luckily i still have my old xp :D

On a slow computer the sound will repeat and stutter, this can get very annoying. Only being able to shoot in 8 directions (+ and x) is silly, as you can move in the standard circle pattern that most tactical games let you move.

Hasn't aged well and has quite a few design flaws - not to mention a nonsensical story - but can be fun for a while if you're in the mood for 90s tactics RPG.
