This was an amazing game for its time... with its easy learning curve and quick action, it's still one of my favorites.
The main thing about the game was the multiplayer (or atleast what i found myself playing the majority of the time) because of the challenging pilots and exciting base bomb/defend modes of play (R.a.w.) and the free for all pilot vs pilot mode (deathmatch). Theres still people who play it online today.
After all this time I still find myself playing this game. The flight sims helped make novalogic what it is today.
