Seriously flawed

[willemvdb42]

The UI for this game is seriously flawed. To the point of being unplayable. I load a game. I play. I press escape but rather than the regular menu I get an option saying "do you want to resume the game?" That makes no sense so I press escape again (hoping to get out of that menu). The game ends and I'm back at main menu, all progress lost...

this game is nearly 30 years old. Back then, industry standards weren't really present due to it still being the wild west phase of game development and devs often just programmed it the way they felt was right.

And in that regard, pressing "ESCAPE" simply made sense to use it to actually escape the game (like the button isn't named like that just for fun). It's only a modern change, that it was reinvented into being an menu-button

Back in the day we had not many options, but he what i always did/do on Z was save the game every mission and then u dont lose any progress.

Or just playing through the whole game in an evening^^ Games back then weren't really long anyway.
