How MicroProse wanted to get into the RTS pie ... a year too late in the Spectrum HoloByte Era ... by helping finance this ... on paper it looks great , story is solid ... but what happened ... well , as a Turn Based game it would work ... but as a RTS it fails ... not to mention the Gui and building of things that is well... made by Dragging and dropping ... its a mess ... it has this good comedic story, that kinda pushes you to complete this ... but , its not FMV ... even the music ost is meh ...

Yeah ... not to mention in 1995 C&C came ... and before that in 1992 , Dune 2 ... Like they say : CLONE what is popular, and change it a little to sell as your own, to evolve the genre ... only regress when a set thing will revive a genre ...

Guess none at that time knew the fundamental rules ... i miss MicroProse adventures and sims ... in a way , they always had a edge in all ...
