12 year old me saw the box art at babbages and begged my mother to buy me the game. I didn't have a machine it could run on well. All I had at the time was a 486DX 66mhz IBM PC and I didn't care, lag and all, it was one of the most complex and satisfying gaming experiences. It's up there for me with Doom 1 (Ultimate Doom by the time I could afford to buy it). Quake. Ultima Online. Descent. SW: Tie Fighter. X-COM.

The floppies where damaged for some reason, so some of the later levels (particularly on Mars) were heavily corrupted (missing maps parts with black holes, etc). The machine was so slow that the screen "hidden enemy move" sometimes lasted 10 minutes or more. Fun times.
