I spent quite some time looking for a game that kept the classic, unforgiving system, ensuring that the player's hand was not held for the entire game when I stumbled upon this. It left me very sceptical of what to expect as a game this unique was extremely rare and not without its impending flaws. I took a gamble and purchased it within 10 minutes of viewing it, thinking that it may provide me with at least a few hours of reasonable entertainment for long trips on the train and for bus journeys.
