This is the first shooter I ever owned. I remember the day I got it too. Grandparents bought it for me on Christmas when I was only ten years old (ESRB? Pfft. They knew I would be fine with it). This game is one of the many fond memories I have with my grandfather, spending hours planning routes and equipping my squad in order to complete the mission. Most of the time, I didn't even do the shooting. I spent most of it giving orders and sending my squadmates along, who were much better shots, to do it for me. Especially later when the stakes got really high to the point where being shot once = instant fatality for that squadmate (much gnashing of teeth was had!). My only gripe with this version is that it was not fixed for multiplayer. See, back in the day there was this awful thing called 'MPlayer' that every game used for WAN multiplayer that cost money every month and barely worked. This died quickly, and left a lot of games with no multiplayer option when it did. Thankfully, MSN Zone (Anyone remember that?) picked up the slack and used a workaround to do network play for Rainbow Six and other games for many years. Unfortunately, MSN Zone is long gone. MPlayer is long gone. Gamespy is long gone. Which means as far as I know, this game has no multiplayer option unless you're willing to host a LAN party or get people together over Hamachi. Maybe someone should set up a service for GoG games? Maybe one exists and I don't know? I hope the good R6 games all come to GoG eventually, which includes Rogue Spear and Raven Shield.
