It did have a lot of issues, but this is well known now.
I don't really agree with pinky on this one though. The game's age isn't an excuse for many of the issues it had. I can appreciate it missing features that the modern games have, but that's not all we're talking about here. There are so many things that are broken or stupid in the game that you're probably better off listing the things that do work properly. Even back then, this level of glitchiness was pretty much unprecedented.
