Meh - this is a game that I have never been able to get that excited about. While it is a platform game from Apogee - it was released quite late in the 'PC Platform Gaming ERA'. The game itself is okay - but the graphics feel a bit clunky and the story line is not engaging. As for comparing this to Mario Brothers - you have to be kidding :-)

     

Anyway - this game runs well under Virtual PC and you can download it from ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/share/1hp11.zip
