I love both personally, and I think both are underrated in some ways. When people talk about it they often exagerate on points which I feel are less important, like the controls in the DOS one or the "Metroid Prime" style of the console one which is highly exageratted.

The Build one has some amazing Doom-like level design, some of the best I've seen.
To anyone who hasn't played it, watch out for what you download, there are more bad rips and beta versions floating around than the actual good version. The date on the .exe should be March 19 1997 for Exhumed and September 24 1996 for Powerslave, everything else are glitched betas. And of course you should have CD musics.


The console one has some great 3D architecture and layout, people need to realize that it has Quake like level design while having been developped at the same time as Quake.
Also the bomb jumping is awesome in the Saturn version. The PS1 version lacks it and its gamepaly doesn't nearly feel as tight, but it's still worth playing for the different levels.

I know both versions in autistic ways.... a couple of friends and myself studied and documented, the DOS version, which didn't have modding support, so that people may make maps for it. We also made a small 3 maps episode for it. The Saturn, I made a speedrun, beating the game in 25mins.
