The best thing...
The best thing about this boring, ugly hover tank shooter is that when my dad saw it he immediately returned it to the store and bought me Star Wars: Dark Forces, the game I wanted to begin with but he thought would be too violent. Thanks Zephyr! If you weren't such garbage, I might not have played one of my favorite all time games. You will always have a special place in my heart.

A chaotic mess
It's rare that I abandon a game after less than an hour but sadly Zephyr is just that bad. It's a weird game that looks and kinda controls like an old-school FPS but you control a hover tank rather than a heavily armed dude. It seems kinda promising at first: The game opens with an animated and well-voiced commentator talking about a sci-fi tournament, there's nice music, then you choose a corporate sponsor that determines your tank's specs and then the horror begins. You end up in a match where, a bit like in Carmageddon, you can either score by doing laps or destroying respawning opponents. Alas, with controls similar to but much worse than in Wolfenstein 3D it's definitely not fun racing and an even worse shooter. Everything is just ridiculously frantic and choppy and it's unnecessarily complicated by vertical movement, the ability to turn turrets (which the AI can use just fine but it seems to me that no human could possibly use that effectively here) and a weird battery that you can deplete just by moving around. There's no momentum, no precision, no clear feedback. It's just not fun to play at all. After five minutes of watching enemies explode and exploding yourself you're told that somebody else won the match. I'm sure there are two people in the world who have put many hours into this game and will insist that it's in fact good if you master it but honestly: it can't possibly be worth it.

Not great memories
This was the first game I owned on CD back in the days when floppy disks were king and a 56k dial-up modem was considered an improvement. I actually bought it before I had a CD drive in my computer, because I was like 12, and ended up building it up in my mind for weeks before finally getting to try it out on my uncle's PC, Imagine my disappointment..... Even back when it first came out Zephyr was a nearly unplayable mess. I have no idea why anyone would actually buy it in modern times.
