I remember playing the original back in the day at a mates.
Taking turns on an old pc, windows 95 on an old dell I think.
The game was monstersly difficult, hard as nails.
So rewarding to progress even a little. Some of the missions were long, but the graphics and immersion were glorious.
Makes for a change from all the Sim city, Roller-coaster Tycoon and Batman cartoon maker I was playing at the time.
