I personally don't want to see a good game get a trashing because the reviewer couldn't get it running well which is very unfair.
Have you even read the whole review?

All in all the game deserves a good mark for the gameplay and design, but a bad mark for the technical merit.
And I do agree, this is a good game and when I get it to run normally I will consider changing my vote (and will probably rewrite the review - explainig how to run the game properly). But yes - it is the designer's "fault" the game runs the way it does. Unlike other games and other designers (and the games were graphically equal, better, worse - depending on the game) chose 320X200 resolution, but here they chose a strange resolution to begin with 320X400. I've seen games with many different resolutions (from 640X200 to 320X400) before, but they always ran nicely. And this would be one of the top questions asked.
Also the sound is BAD, the game offers no saving possibilities, no 2 player option... I could run this game to the ground, but it's a good game - it's just acting weirdly.

You're welcom to review it yourself - and submit the review to me, until then stop whining.
