I don't know English, but everything was cool. When I was a kid, this game was so special. I was so into it that I ended up watching the ending every day. The opening briefing is wonderful because it feels like it's carrying out a great mission. In the ending, the line "Let's go home" couldn't be so cool. Why isn't there a game like this anymore? Nostelgia. Please bring this game to gog.

The PC version of the game has a great soundtrack by Rick Ede. The pulsing rhythm is perfect set to the frames of the game. The sound effects are well embedded into the soundtrack that it feels like part of the music. The voices are well chosen. The ship control is a bit intransparent in a few parts of the game. Its like a one-hour-action-show. In a PC magazine they wrote the developers build the levels using LEGO stones before they build it in 3D.
I first played the 3DO version. I love the two soundtracks a lot. This one has a very cool soundtrack with epic moments near the end. The End is so, so epic. Better than the 3DO. There is some differences in the last levels, but the game is almost the same. The weapons upgrade system is good (Much better than the 3DO) and the female computer voice is a charm. The Opening scene is very complete explaining the situation. But not as pompous as in the 3DO. The Eclipse scene is really epic in the second planet :D The last levens in the Scarab-X station are thrilling with stages with avoiding obstacles during furious guitar solos or Space Odyssey graphics with hypnotic music. Rik Ede did a great job here. Very very recommended for sci-fi fans.

Conker's Bad Fur Day
Conker's Bad Fur DayHumorous action-platformer that does away with the tedious item collection found in most games in the genre. Instead, BFD employs a combination of standard jump, run and explore mechanics and context-sensitive gags and actions. For instance, in the beginning of the game, by pressing the B button on the first pad he encounters, Conker drinks some Alka-Seltzer to wipe out his hangover, at which point players can proceed forward. Later on these pads are used to activate a slingshot and throwing knives; to turn Conker into an anvil and drop downward; to shoot automatic, double-handed guns; to activate a The Matrix-inspired slow-motion effect and flip through the air shooting enemies; and much, much more.
