  • There are significant technical problems, including crashes and a lack of proper exit options.

    Reviewers note that the graphics are reminiscent of older systems, with a nostalgic nod to the Apple 2e, but they express disappointment in the lack of modern features like a quit option. The best graphics setting is limited to 1080p with CGA-style visuals, which may not meet the expectations of players seeking contemporary graphics quality.

    • “Even the graphics were better on that cool machine!”
    • “Imagine an Apple IIe version with no quit option, best graphics option 1080p CGA graphics.”
