looked like a cool game for its age but the main problem is the control, the mouse y axis is inverted with no way to switch it. also the frame rate was rather low but that might just be me not knowing dosbox to well

Played this game for hours back in the days. So, i want to try it again. The graphics are like in 1996, so if you only like 4k graphics, you don't want to play this game. The game also has lot's of issues, speed isn't good and the bug when you kill something is irritating. The game works on dosbox, but this come with new bugs. It's impossible to change...
First discovered this game when I was interested in purchasing MechWarrior 2 back in 1996.
So after looking at the screenshots, seeing there were destructible environments(yes!), and the cool box art I rolled the dice on this game.
It was a really cool game for it's time.
I actually enjoyed it until games like MechWarrior 3, Starsiege, and Heavy Gear...
I haven't played this game since 1996, but now that its on steam if its possible it could use alot of updating, because there is some problems that I am having.
