This game was my life for a year. I played against my friends until they stopped coming over and then played against the AI on custom maps after that. Objectively one of the saddest years of my life but it was one of my personal favorites. Thanks for the post!

Man at the time the game was crazy, it had so so innovative and packed with crazy amounts of action. I tried starcraft 2 but it just wasn't the same.
