Surely no game would be able to live up to the expectations placed on this?

Still awesome that it finally came out.

Start with the side-scrolling EGA version by Apogee...and work your way through.
It's a hell of a ride.

No you aren't. Hasn't been an issue for me since my net congestion issues were rectified, but it was painful at the time. I'm not a huge fan of steam in general, it's growing on me but I'd always prefer the hard copy. Some of the indie games are great though.
