Platypus Reclayed Demo - Just Dropped on Steam

 Looks Great.

Oh wow. I think I still have the original on my computer, transferred several times from computer to computer. I wonder if I can still play it 🤔

Some time ago... I tried my old version, and I couldnt get it to work with my USB Gameplay..  due to changes
in modern Windows.

Now I just tried it... and the mouse arrow wont even move... so I cant start a game.   To escape, I had to
Log Out with CTRL+ALT+DEL.

(I didnt try various Compatibility Modes, however)


As for the new version... I only just tried a few seconds worth... and it works great.  There are options for Resolution,
difficulty settings, and a few new ship types that you can choose from.   The graphics are also improved,
with greater detail / resolution.

Worth downloading and Installing Steam for.   I only started using steam..  a few years ago,  and I was pleasantly
surprised at how good the experience is with it.

Not sure if they will sell DVDs, or a Non-Steam Install File... but Id always prefer one of those Options, over a
pure Steam only install...  (Just in case)

When I first saw the screenshot I thought "WTH?"

Then I checked out the videos on the steam page.  It looks awesome!  Could have called it "C-Type" :)
