Does not work on Windows 7

I loved this game and played it endlessly during my childhood. However, GOG have not provided a copy which is compatible with modern systems (which is their job) and so I must encourage other people not to buy this.

A shooter that teaches morality

I remember playing this game as a kid. It was the first shooter I played which had more urgency than "gun down all the bad guys". There's far more risk assessment and adherence to moral codes in this game than any other that I've ever played. As a shooter it is much slower than what you are probably used to as you systematically clear room after room, advancing slowly while on high alert. For every doorway you encounter you make the choice; do I enter first, thus leading by example and getting a little gung-ho fun, or do I trust my men to do the entry, thus putting their lives at greater risk? You also have to be extremely careful where you shoot. It's so easy when pumped up on adrenaline to mistake friend and foe and accidentally shoot a civilian or even one of your own officers. You can't always trust your initial identification first either. Some suspects only LOOK like unarmed civilians, and if you don't watch them carefully they may end up pulling a gun at you. Even if someone IS wielding a gun, shooting on sight is not the morally right decision. If they aren't posing a threat at that moment you might be able to coax them into surrendering. The game has some training videos and manuals that teach you when it's okay to shoot and when it's not. If you make a serious effort to adhere to these moral codes and take great pains to complete your missions with minimum loss of life you will be rewarded with medals for your actions. Due to the great difficulty of earning these medals, you feel great pride when they are awarded to you. Every mission starts of with a briefing that instils the urgency of the situation you are there to resolve. You are given all the information available about potential hostages and suspects, area layout and witness accounts and you best study all of it carefully. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to play something more serious where you can really feel the responsibility weighing on your shoulders.

Amazing game,poor release

The game itself is amazing,the AI team members are some of the best I've seen in games. Levels are detailed and the locations are varied, it's tactical but not as hard as arma ,really enjoy playing this game. However the game simply doesn't work right out of the box,i think this version is exact same as the retail one from 20 years ago.I only got 10 fps at first and it crashed every 5 minutes...had to install dgvoodoo myself to get the game to work properly.not hard to fix,but kind of disappointed that GoG didn't even bother putting nglide in

5 man campaign

Some people write, that the game doesnt work on Windows 10. I have Win 10 with a nvidia 970 and it works without problem. The game itself is one of the few games that actually try to make you feel, like a real swat officer. If possible you shouldnt kill suspects and bad guys will often surrender if you gas them and scream in their faces. Dont forget to cuff them and collect their weapons! And be sure to select the 5 man campaign for the main single player exprience.
