The ISO, should you find it on the Internet (hint: search for the game's full name, and don't use Google), is playable in an emulator or on a modded PS2. PCSX2 is the only mature emulator available, and although it comes for Windows and macOS, if you are on a Mac you will want to boot into a Windows partition to use PCSX2 rather than use the Mac build. Not only does the Mac version of PCSX2 have poor performance, it also exhibits graphical glitches with this particular game. Some visual problems occur even when playing on a PS2, so it's likely that graphics code was being worked on when this build was produced.

(Some visual problems occur even when playing on a PS2, so it's likely that graphics code was being worked on when this build was produced.) Thus, if you are on a Mac, you will want to use Boot Camp to run the game in PCSX2 for Windows. PCSX2 has also been reported to work on Windows running within Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion, but it does not seem to run in Oracle VM VirtualBox, which has problems with 3D acceleration.


There is only one level available by choosing New Game. Other levels, however, can be chosen from the Load Game menu. These are documented under "Story and levels" below. Levels can take a long time to load, and some do not have loading screens, displaying a gray screen until they're done loading. The only levels that could be considered traditionally "game-like" are levels 1, 6 and 8: The Blast Chambers, Initial Attack, and The Rooftops. These were the primary levels used to prototype the game. The other levels were for testing features or scripting, but some are rather substantial, like level 14, AI Abilities Test.
