This one was really an incredible port and although I also had the PC version, I still played a lot of this PSX port on split screen with my little brother at the time.

    Indeed it is a great port. The engine is incredibly optimized and very well made.

    Lots of hand optimization for occlusion calculations (reminiscent of Crash Bandicoot)

    I posted a comment on the video - I made a patch for this game to allow for looking with the right stick and the cheat menu during single player (with some added debug options).

      Patches and other quality of life hacks for retro console games are an underrated often forgotten great part of emulation. Especially when it’s something like a patch that brings a game to modern control standards.

      Thumbs up my friend

    I had this and the mouse back in the day. It was an absolute blast, although I never really played it on PC so I can’t compare the two. The mouse also works great on Alien Trilogy and Alien Resurrection.
