This has aged really well, I must say. Even in fullscreen it's playable without too much of a hassle.
Of course some of the GUI stuff is a bit 90's-style obscure, for example doubleclicking a building opens up a different info screen than single-clicking it, but other than that it runs perfectly fine on Win7 64bit.


This had such a lasting impact on my childhood, that even when playing GTA 5, encountering Lamar immediately made me think of Ancyra LaMarr, the Rigellian ambassador in this game xD

So yeah, this has something for everyone from a tycoon/business sim with covert agent actions up to the sparkly laser napalm space battles and planetary annihilation stuff with utter chaos.

Really can't wait for a remake of this, but until then, the original is definitely worth the price of admission.
