Ah... An amazing game indeed, unfortunately not remeber by many. Seems like only the Elderly can really appreciate such gems and scoff at their sequels!
I played it the hard way, seemingly there was a bug in the first game that allowed you to walk straight into the base and blow it up. Game over.
a small oversight
!!!!
Never heard of such a (tiny) problem.
It was also the first game to include model specific damage. So if you got shot in the leg you limped. The sniper scope bobbed more if you were tired or exhausted. No wonder I was so happy, the game was at the cutting edge.
...the days huh!
Ah....yes. Those were the days of driving a Snowbuggy with a mouse...
LoL ....chortle even
now i'm riding oblivion horses with a controller. Time waits for no man
