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:
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“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)
“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)
