Thank you. I can't help but feel the wall textures have screwed the whole thing. It might be that they've tried to just be too clever with this and a less complex solution (flat shading, gouraud shading) would have worked better.

Yeah I had the same thought. I played a few FPS on my ti-83 back in the day, it was black and white, and really it only drew the edges of the walls and outlines of people. But I could tell pretty well what was going on in comparison to this.

This atari game might also look a lot better on a crt or something.
