I somehow missed that part of your post and I just have to shove my oar in. In general I have to agree that it would be a PERFECT release but there is not a chance I would ever buy/play it ever again! The game still holds a strong position in my TOP 5 most frustrating games. Do you remember it? Just a few more seconds and you should have a brand new tank. So excited. So proud. So self-assured. And then HE comes out of nowhere. He shouldn't even be there. And captures YOUR factory. No.
No. No. It's not true. That's impossible. Nooooooooooooooooooo! But I also have to admit that despite being frustrating the game was really rewarding. The problem is that I considered myself to be a RTS-God back in those days. I always play on the hardest possible settings and was successful. Now I'm a RTS-wuss because my game preference shifted (I don't enjoy RTS games that much anymore) and I don't have enough time to practice and replay some missions over and over again until I master it. Conclusion: I will not touch Z. Ever. Again. And that's final ;)
