I've never played it... does it still hold up 20 years after release?

I've grabbed it anyway.

Graphically it's pretty shoddy (although there are mods that improve it quite a bit), but it still has some of the best sound design from any game ever, and the gameplay hasn't aged. It's absolutely worth playing still. You do need a joystick though; a gamepad's analogue sticks don't give you the precision you need.

I've never played it since it came out, but as with most things you should probably never go back.

Still cant argue with free I suppose.

I don't own a stick, I guess I'll give it a go with M&K and if it's not playable I'm not exactly quids-out.

Halloween sale...

https://www.gog.com/promo/20191028_halloween_sale

Some decent prices on a couple of game sthere. Hollow Knight for £5.79 is a standout, although it might be cheaper on Steam I wouldn't know as its knackered. You'd think they'd have that sorted by now, every sale it happens.

Installed GOG Galaxy 2

Mighty impressed - it is great to see all your games in one place. I like the simple interface, quite refreshing

Definitely worth a look that, chaps. The battle system takes a bit of time to get used to, and a few levels before it feels like it's anything special, but it's a good game and gets better the more you delve into it.
