Not playable by modern standards
It's been a long time, but I recall playing this as a kid, so I gave it a shot. There are a lot of problems with the GOG version with the game alternating between running way too fast, and very slow. The default keybindings highlight a bug where using the keyboard to move the head moves it much too quickly. Mouse aiming is also very imprecise, but at least playable. The FMVs are also offset into the bottom right-hand side of the screen, which is also weird. There are also major problems with hit detection, which may or may not have been in the original, but given that I can't go back 20 years, I can't say. Regardless, expect to see missiles and lasers clip right through enemies, and to deplete your entire laser reserves, because shots that visibly should have hit do not register. Thankfully, the game does provide some visual feedback when hits register. I stopped after about 4 missions. There isn't much reason to continue. This game should be relegated to only a historical footnote.
