    I used to own this as a kid. After you complete a mission you have to collect clues to find the next location and there is a specific time you have to be there at. If you don't find it in time, you miss the mission. It's a cool idea, too bad the execution is so poor. If you do an AVGN episode on this, please play a bit more, so you can show this too.

    It's kind of a shame, the game is clearly very ambitious for the time. Practically open world with lots of different features, and pretty solid models and textures. It's just hampered by the design limitations of the era. 3D control schemes didn't really get worked out until later in the generation with the standardization of analog sticks. The darkness is in part there to mask the low draw distance.
