so i finally downloaded the full psx version. i ran it in an emulator (my real psx isnt chipped) it is definately better than the p.c port. much less buggy.. the combat is so much faster and not so hit-and-more-likely-miss as in the pc version. in fact the combat is now FUN and you dont even need to drink very often.. as opposed to the pc version where you're always getting battered.
obviously having the movies helps, and also being able to save and load with f1 and f3 in the emulator is a lot easier
im told that the original 3do version is the best one, however.
