The Personal computer has never been the Mecca for Jump N Run gamers. The Amiga did it before him with plenty of good and great jump n runs to choose from (Magic Pockets, Switchblade, Wolfchild, Assassin, the list goes on) and SNES stealing the show when it came to platformers. The rest is history. Back in the day, the PC was the system of the nerd (which was a rare breed back then, before the epidemic spread), the mouse being the perfect tool for strategist and simulation gamers, not to mention the keyboard, the "key" to "board" the ship called "MUD" (who gets it ?I am sure I don't). Anyway, some companies dared to release Platformers for the PC and most did fail. ABUSE is an exception though, an excellent platformer, that makes up in animation what it lacks in crisp resolution. Although, the game designers took more than one peek at the Alien movies and their concept art for inspiration, which is not a bad thing, just a bit cheeky. Highly recommended Action-Shooter. <br />
