I first played this game more than 20 years ago, and recently picked it back up when I found it on Steam. It is very enjoyable, has a great underlying story line, and was ahead of its time when released. Even with today's new terrain models and graphics, it still works. Add the nGlide wrapper, and you can play this on your Windows 11 computer. The single player is fun to work through. It is not exceptionally challenging, but it is fun. The BASE WARS and ARENA are where this game excels in the entertainment category. Get a few friends involved and you will lose yourselves for hours!

To this day, still the best space flight sim I've ever played. The fact the story isn't crap and the gameplay is as good as it is, even though the multiplayer scene is long gone at this point, makes it stand out.
