This game certainly holds a special place in my heart. Even with the numerous problems that have made themselves apparent as I've grown older (and really should have been noticed before the initial release), it's certainly fun, and paved the way for more realistic shooters over the years.
In fact, I've started the fundamentals of doing an update of the game (a la the OpenGL Carrier Command remake, though this will be using DirectX). I did all four tours to get the feel for everything, and though the game is frustrating in some ways that shouldn't be, the overall idea is solid, and deserves more respect than it gets.
