An Absolute Classic
Just as good as I remember. I bought this game in walmart when I was a kid and couldn't stop thinking about it so I had to revisit it. So fun!

Game Issues
So far it's been a fun game, but I played it once and now I can get back into my saved game. I have a short cut saved to windows desktop and it will not open the game. I can only get it to open when I go back through the website. Still can't get it to open.
