Key points

Many different versions of the game exist, with varying degrees of graphical fidelity and additional features, such as voice acting. The only version currently readily sold however is the MS-DOS release.
Because the game was poorly written and its speed is dependent on CPU cycles, the game runs too fast on many computers.
