This is of course a classic point'n'click adventure game, something I am a big fan of. I played this many years ago as a child and along the years, I had forgotten about it. Just recently I downloaded this and found a pretty good game. The graphics are good for the time and helps in providing the dark atmospheric feel that I had come to expect from the rather scary intro. Regardless, the sound is certainly quite bad, so you'll need to play around with the sound settings via SCUMMVM to actually get something that won't hurt your ears too badly. The gameplay is rather difficult because it suffers from the same point'n'click 'use-everything-on-everything-on-and-on' problem, and while your mission is clear, your objectives are not. To put it briefly, it's an old game and it shows, but it's definitely not bad.
Wait a second there! Fellow reader, be sure to play Tyrian 2000, for it is one of the best space-ship shooters out there (if not THE BEST). And now, thanks to GOG.com, you can use OpenGL and other awesome filters like hq3x to make this beautiful beast even better. The story of this game is quite interesting and gripping and the graphics are smooth and detailed, so one should at least try this one out. I myself was not much of a fan of mindless space-ship shooters, but this one just gets me everytime due to it's perfect level of challenge and charming gameplay. So, all in all, just try this. It's FREE for god's sakes!
