Understood. On the plus side, there's been talk for ages on the web about PS2 emulators for your system... maybe that would be the happy medium. Since playstation got me into gaming, I play OOTF with a PS2 controller with a USB adapter. It's set up almost exactly like the DTAG controls. My gal got me a new sword today. I dig crystals and swords, so I've always thought it was cool that the Drakan games incorporate both of those elements... and dragons to boot!!
Like Snotmaw said you could fly away anywhere and gain health with a quick sip. But the second time i play the game they followed me all the way to the ancient gate killed me when i didnt even see them.
That's why I never tried it...
