IT'S AN EARLY PC VERSION
This isn't the final version of the game, although the actual levels and
gameplay are pretty much finalised (they were completed for the Saturn
version). The bits that are missing/unfinished are pure PC things,
particularly:
Graphics: the 3D engine hasn't been optimised yet, so excuse the texture
cracking and frame rate.
Music: the in-game music has not been put in yet.
