On its 25th anniversary, rediscover this classic! It was one of the first games to use motion capture technology for more realistic animations, with backgrounds that were entirely hand-drawn and a gripping science-fiction storyline.
In addition to the original 1993 game, this version includes a Modern mode, with:
- Post-FX graphic filters
- Completely remastered sound and music
- A brand new "Rewind" function, variable according to the level of difficulty
- Tutorials for those who need a boost!
See if you're up to the challenge with all the demanding gameplay of the period!
