No fullscreen support!

There I said it for anyone coming back to this game in the modern age! It is a great 5 star game at its core, thats all I remember (beat it 10+ years ago).

However it has not been updated for ages, is displayed letterbox and seems to run at less than 30fps. I still recommend checking it out or if possible play it on steam!

I will replay this game for all of eternity

This is the kind of game you’ll think of time to time after playing and wish you could go back to the first time you ever did play it.
