Anyone got a recommendation on an updated version of the same game?

I loved that game!!
I remember some time ago I found a version on PSX called 'Diamonds and Gems', or at least something similar.

This looks like it is an updated version, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to buy/download:

Used it on Linux, but I see it does Windows too.

Really great game, hard to find. Best PC version I've seen. **cough** If you google hard enough ;-)

I've heard of it being available on mobile platforms, but I still prefer the original via emulation. :)




"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Yup, I played through the whole thing under Power64 last year, great fun! It's also much easier on a keyboard since you don't have joystick switches intermittently not connecting :P
