I, on the other hand, loved it. Especially with a joystick. Though I was too young to really get far. I've picked it up since, and I still absolutely love it.

    I really enjoyed it as well. We had a demo of it on the computers in my school back in 95/96, and it was an absolute blast to play in multiplayer during recess. It had 3 multiplayer maps as far as I recall, but we only played one of them. The other two were too much of a maze, and you could easily spend a long time without seeing anyone even though the game was full.

    As far as I recall it was inside a space station where there was one large central room, and two floors on the outside that were shaped like a 4-leaf clover where there were weapons and things like that.

    The absolute best thing that you could do was to land a missile on someone. They were so incredibly slow!
