I remember years ago when this came out, I was younger and didn't have things like a credit card, or a job.... I used to download and play demos for hours back when computer demos seemed to be a bigger thing than they are today. The demo of this game took hundreds of hours from me, I played the one skirmish map for a year. I could not get over how amazing this game was. Especially for breaking out of the RTS genre and being unique. I later bought the disc and had one of the greatest real time strategy experiences of my lifetime. In the SCI-FI RTS department this game is number one. It should of been a cult favorite, it was another overlooked or skipped over game. PS ------ THIS GAME WORKS FINE ON WINDOWS 7 AND 8 NOW
