I haven&#8217;t played it too much yet, kinda hard to play it properly on my laptop, gotta try it on my desktop which has a real keyboard. Plus, I need to figure out how to re-map the keys, ctrl is shoot and alt is jump, which just feels clumsy to me. All-in-all it looks pretty good, can&#8217;t tell if there is sound as the speakers on my lovely Dell 700m laptop don&#8217;t work anymore. From what I&#8217;ve read this is pretty common and is due to the wires to the speakers fraying where the laptop lid\/screen is hinged. Way to go Dell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fun looking game: http:\/\/www.valarsoft.com\/ramuso\/?dpage=pagine&amp;page=pagine&amp;pagID=8 Used to play the original game, that this is based on, when I was a wee bit younger.
