Sapiens

The music in Sapiens is very Depeche Mode (an appropriately neanderthal band) and surprisingly adds quite a bit to the games atmosphere. All the graphical scenes are impressive, although the character animation is somewhat halting. Perhaps a little more control over Torgan's actions would have been nice, walk left or right, stoop down and hit (with his axe) or throw a spear do not seem quite enough considering the task ahead of him.

It plays the same as the Atari version except that the keyboard is used rather than the mouse. The colours are pastelly and unreal (PC 1640 SD - although if you have the colour graphics board, this may not be quite the case) and the sound is awful, more a fault of the machine than the game. Having said all that Sapiens is still very playable on the PC compatibles.
