Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 6.0
  • 6Nice graphics, and very high quality sounds, but it's sloooooow (hovers right around 8 frames/sec on my 1200), hampered by the lack of a full-screen mode and 19MB seems a bit large for what this game is (an enhanced Missile Command, basically). Good start, though.
