Technology
The PC version used software rendering to draw the world, however patches were later released that added support for popular (at the time) APIs (D3D, Glide, Redline and PowerVR). Although a fast CPU was recommended, the game ran smoothly with (relatively) low RAM. Kurt's movement was created using sprite-based animation.
Its "sniper mode" feature allowed the player to zoom in all the way from one side of the map to the other without having objects popping up.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
