First played this around a year after it came out; unfortunately the looks of the game have dated but its mechanics are great providing great levels of difficulty and I still reguarly enjoy playing this game daily as it provides a great pace of gameplay if you're not too impatient; many many different ways to play as mentioned. Definately worth buying from gog.com this being the definitive full complete version of the game that is quite hard to come buy in its physical form.
