This game was outstanding! It was a sleeper released in the shadow of Doom and so did not receive as much recognition as it should have. My friend and I played the 2 player modem game to death! We were absolutely blown away that he could sit at his house and I could sit at my house and we could blow each other away with phenomenal weaponry (and chunks flying everywhere!) We would stay up late and play for hours (and pay the next day at work!). Even our wives were blown away by it and actually played with us sometimes. It was great! Excellent graphics for the time, great weapons, and best of all no multiplayer lag (even on the slow 28.8 modems of the time). The single player mission is still very playable even today. Check this one out!
