I like how you conveniently focus on that aspect and not how that didn't prevent it from being one of the biggest video game hit of all time.
Those two can be true at the same time. And that's one thing that a lot of technical people don't get. Slow is generally bad. But you cannot take it out of context. Slow can mean different things to different people, and slow can be circumvented by strategies that do not involve "making the code run faster".
