It's about time. I played it at the Austin Game Expo back in 2003 (or was it 2002?) and it seemed pretty interesting. I'm not sure I'd put all that much effort into playing it, though. I found it pretty confusing when I took my shot at it. I don't remember living all that long.

By some odd coincidence, you can still get the PC version for free from dotemu.com for the next couple of hours.

Still, I don't know if I'll ever actually be playing it. HOTU says:
This is one of the most intriguing game concepts of all time-- and the most frustrating.

Your goal is simple: escape from alien planet Alcibiade. The process, however, is an ordeal that will leave masochistic gamers chuckling with joy: in addition to the mundane tasks of hunting, you must deal with diseases that strike inexplicably and amputated limbs. The game claims to monitor over 100 variables from your temperature to malaria and poisoning, but thank god if you know *what* levels they are-- since you'll be seeing the death scenes so often in this game even real doctors will wince. If you value your sanity, do NOT play this game-- seriously-- go play the sequel Deus instead.

This and Deus were on sale at GOG.com for like three bucks for both games last week. Everyone seemed to hate the games. >_>

When one of the taglines is "It's so hardcore, you'll die - a lot!"... you kind of expect that.

Perfect for Jaguar CD owners then. :D
