Yes, it's an old game. As such, it has some gameplay problems: no manufacturing ques, no manufacturing waypoints, tech tree is hard to follow, easy AI is too easy, normal AI is to hard, etc. That being said, this has a lot of features that set it apart from old RTS games such as AOE or Command and Conquer: great player vs. environment, the importance of keeping your population's morale up, and the delight of space laser tank battles. The real joy is that this is a classic game for those of us who grew up in the 90's/early 2000's. The old graphics, immersive sound effects and music really bring you back in time as you frantically ward off enemy Lynx', outrun volcanic lava, and push to evacuate your population before the unstoppable arrival of the Blight. Pleased that GOG has created an affordable, relatively bug-free way to revisit this space RTS that was ahead of it's time.
