This is very much a game of my past, having played it as I was growing up and then lost it while I went through the motions of high school, university, career etc. It's absolutely a game that has stood the test of time and is just as enjoyable now as it was when I first discovered it however. Nothing about the game has really aged, its distinctive graphical style transitioned gently into 'retro' without being jarring, the sound is as good as any and I still regularly listen to heroes orchestra (check them out if you haven't), its story as immersive and fun as it was on the first play through and its replayability is just as good all these years later. Its cheap, fun, immersive, will play or just about anything - I cant recommend it enough if you like turn based strategy.
