That is my biggest surprise with the game - how the DOS program has been
replicated in Windows.
No apparent attempt has been made to interface with the controller info in
Windows. Similarly the menu system has been transferred across with no
attempt to build a more Windows friendly style interface.
I just find it odd that a developer wouldn't want to revamp the look & feel
in a new release, particularly in a dos to windows conversion.
Perhaps we should be grateful the time is spent on the game itself rather
than a snazzy interface, but the controller issue is bizzare, my split axis
controller is over 2 years old!
