I was excited about the idea of reviving this old classic with some new technology, and for the most part the designers achieved their mission. However, they created two fatal errors that seriously hampered play. Firstly, the background scene with its space detail makes an excellent camouflage, obscuring the action. Secondly, there is no adjustability with the key board control settings. This would normally not be a concern except that the placement of the controls (as they are permanently set) does not flow at all on the key board. I guess what I really was hoping for was the original fun with modern improvement. Unfortunately the original fun of the game was lost due to to much tampering.
