The graphics have been criticized for being blocky and outdated, failing to meet modern standards despite attempts at improvement.

“Some things are best left in the past. I used to play this on the Amiga and it was great, but now the graphics are so blocky and outdated with nothing done to update them that you really would need to buy an Amiga to bring this back to its former glory. Avoid and stay with your memories.”
