Are available on goodoldgames aka gog.com

The site is very good. DRM free, and the emulation is great for older titles.

Oh boy oh boy, it's this thing! When I was a kid I used to fly interstate to see my auntie, and of course when you're a kid travelling alone, in between flights you get put in the kids' room. One of these rooms had this game, and I was enthralled.

Much later I downloaded a ROM of the game to play via emulator and it was horrifyingly difficult.
I really can't say that I was much better at it as an adult than I was as a child
You need to be so precise, there's like, no room for error in this game at all.

I went ahead and bought it, but I am having horrible difficulty just setting up the controls. From what I can tell, the game is a DOSBox version of the Windows 95 release of the game. Was rather bummed when I saw that the "sound test" menu from the SNES version was missing - you can listen to all the music there, and this menu appears to be missing.

I'll give it a more proper go over the weekend, and am rather excited to be able to play it.

How playable is this via keyboard alone? I might buy it if a controller isn't a huge necessity. I̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶n̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶o̶s̶t̶r̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶e̶i̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶.

ok this is ridiculous back then you were able to save your game, now you cant this not right, why cant they add that in?
