Rating: Summary: 100% Worthless Review: I got this game for free with my new video card. I thought, hey, pretty cool, I remember the arcade version.
I put the disc in, a dashboard screen came up. I chose install. Nothing happened. A few minutes later some process kicked in and the game limped through installation. After installing I tried to start it, but it just hanged on the opening screen.
I uninstalled it, made sure my drivers and system (directX version, etc.) were current and reinstalled. Same thing. This is on a P4 2.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 10,000 RPM S-ATA Raptor drive, 128 MB Diamond Stealth (GeForce FX 5200) video card, Win XP SP1a. Certainly not the baddest, but most would agree a capable machine for running games in These Modern Times (7/2004).
Ironically, I gave it a shot on the old junker I'm replacing and it came up fine. So maybe this is the reverse of the classic gamer's warning: instead of "be prepared to upgrade," it's "make sure your hardware is outdated enough if you want to run this game".
