Yes, the pictures of AitD 1 in computer magazines must have been mind-blowing back then. It was a complete gamechanger and the herald of a new era. Back then, I could probably survive the game slowed down to a few frames per second, but today I can't imagine it. On the other hand, AitD is very simple once you know what to do and how to do it.

Yes, games like these change people's minds forever. Even though I know this game is terribly archaic, I keep forgetting just how much. Nostalgia for "beautifying" games in memory sometimes works like first love, ha ha :P.

I don't know what it's like with Dr. Hauzer. According to YouTubers I've seen, the game is slow, similar to AI/D 1 on the 3DO console. If you're asking about the video in your post, I haven't seen it yet.
