That game was barely playable in it's native state 😂

I hear it was the inspiration for QWOP

I played that game when it came out and loved it, naturally - it was pretty revolutionary when it was released, 3d graphics and all.

Later on (say 15 years ago) I got nostalgic and tried to play it again, but couldn't get over the weird controls and camera angles and deemed it unplayable.

Funny enough, I remembered it a week before Christmas and re-played it in DOSBox. To my surprise, I actually made fast progress and didn't even die in any fight until midway into the game. I had a totally different experience in terms of difficulty, clunkiness etc. and really enjoyed it.

The annoying tank controls, the bad camera angles especially when you were under attack and you moved so slowly.

Even with a walkthrough I think it was annoying to play. I seem to remember something about a lantern and the level of fuel it had. If it wasn't full later in the game, I believe you couldn't continue and I can't remember if the game had a save and load system.

I'm sure someone will correct me. It's been a while.

Jeez. I still have the original on 3.5" disks. Been meaning to try imaging them for years.

Archive.org has a copy too. And 'a few' more, with image downloads so you can run them on a emulator (or on a real hardware).

Somebody should do this with Myst

Aww the title had me excited. I thought someone made a multiplayer mod...

Doesn’t seem to work. Crashes with abnormal program termination.
