The game is good BUT THIS PORT IS SH#T.

It's not even that old of a game but it demands the entire computer whenever you play it. My version of spore plays way nicer than this. I've never had a game that refuses to let you access the home screen while playing.

If you need to check another window you need to exit the whole game. The game window refuses to close too, so if it crashes but doesn't close itself you need to restart your whole PC. Even for nostalgia, find an alternative way to play because i guarantee anything would be more reliable.

I just had an annoying pop up from an app and unlike all my other games, i couldn't just window out and deal with it. I had to blindly save and exit the entire game before i could deal with it. I'm only continuing to play this as i'm too tired to find a better version elsewhere.
