I purchased this game for my son. We'd been looking for it for a while. I was a bit skeptical given it's low cost, but I was totally surprised! It arrived sooner than expected and in great condition. Very impressed.

I'm giving this game only 2 stars because it did not work on my new mac HOWEVER I played this game for years when I was younger and it first came out. If you miraculously have an old enough computer that still functions, buy this game.

I have purchased this item for a good price but when i recieved it, i put it in my disk drive and nothing happened. It keeps giving me an error pop up. Obviously something is wrong with the disk. So as you can see "you get what you pay for"
