Bottom Line: Play it! Based in the 1960's, it depicts a secret battle taking place between the US's space brigade and the CCA, the Communist's space forces. Some of the best graphics at the time, it was originally made for Windows 95. The playability of this game is through the roof. The most basic aim-and-shoot-at-stuff game out there, you play though a campaign that sends you through raid-and-destroy missions, through escort and defend as well. There are five tutorial missions that give you all the information you will need. The missions go from easy to ungodly impossible, making you have to think beyond the head-on assault, through advanced strategies that you must think and try through. Keep that save button handy, you will put it to good use, this is not a game that you can play through in one sitting.
With a rich, well-developed storyline, and good, clean fun, this is a game that should always get some notice in the gaming world. Learning Curve: Takes a while
