Key points
- For this port of the original game, redbook CD music was used, as would be the case on the Saturn/PlayStation 1 port.
- Enhanced graphics compared to the original console versions.
- Lacks the level Lorenzo's Soil (AKA: Lorenzen's Soil), which was present in all other versions of the game.[4]
- Generally runs at a sluggish speed compared to other versions, and is full of graphical glitches, particularly at the edges of the screen.
- Controller support is notoriously poor.
