A great Mecha theme game from the late 90's, the opening anime-style music is so nostalgic. The game was fairly demanding on the CPU side. Without x86 virtualization, the M1 CPU barely made it at 25 FPS. Anyway, I don't believe this game at the high detailed 1024x768 native rendering could be play at 30 FPS back in the late 90's. The game engine would compensate for low frame rate and make the game playable around 15~18 FPS. The game also had a Classic Mac OS PowerPC port from Hyperion Entertainment but I guess it can't be played on modern Apple macOS regardless of Intel or Apple Silicon Mac. QEMU delivers the best classic retro Windows game experience on Apple M1 for classic Windows games with x86 emulation and Windows guests 3D acceleration add-ons by https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx.
