A question, not a review (sorry)

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Steam to launch this (map the executable file as a non Steam game) rather than via the GOG launcher, allowing the player to use a Steam controller to map the keys to the joypad ? I sucked at this the first time around but it could be fun for parties if we can work out how to remap the controls to pads :-)

Very tough learning curve

Didn't get on with this game at all - found it far to hard even to score let alone to win a match. Much preferred the original Sensi from 92 or 93.

5 star nostalgia, 2 star fun

The thought of this game is better than the experience. It is very hard to get the ball off the computer and even harder to stop the computer winning the ball back when you do get it. I probably enjoyed when I was a kid and had all the time in the world to master the game, bu now it simply doesn't work as something to pick up for a bit of fun. Best left to the memories.
