Gameplay-wise, this game just doesn't hold up to scrutiny like a Wolfenstein 3D, a SMB or a Colonization does. The greater part of the early game consists of the manipulation of a handful of sliders. FUN! It's old. It WAS groundbreaking, I acknowledge these facts. But for everyone claiming this is a MUST DOWNLOAD IMMEDIATELY TO ENLIGHTEN YOUR PRIMITIVE MONKEY BRAIN TO THE GREATNESS... I think you need to chill out a bit. If you are a strategy game historian, this game may hold some value to you. If you grew up in the age of text based games and 2kb of memory, this piece of software will certainly retain some of it's charm. No complaints whatsoever about the conversion by the way, GOG has once again done a solid job and I have no technical complaints whatsoever. As a 28 year old with a limited attention span, budget and time available to play video games, this didn't reach the heights of "MUST PLAY CLASSIC" that the GOG faithful have billed it as. One man's opinion.
