Feb. 2017
This is one of the best First Person Shooters ever, next to Duke Nukem 3D. You Play as Lo Wang, former bodyguard of Zilla Enterprises, out to avenge his former master, Master Leep, by defeating The Evil Master Zilla and his army of creatures from the Dark Side. ------------PROS----------- 1. The menu option and controls are stable. 2. You can change mouse sensitivity in the menu. 3. Mac support. -----------CONS------------ 1. Mouse Y-Axis sensitivity is too low, even on max settings. 2. The game is just an emulation of the original in DosBox. 3. Because of the reason stated above, you can only change screen resolutions, key bindings, and other options through the setup program.
