Despite an anemic marketing strategy and a lousy distribution system the original I-War is an awesome game. Unlike many other space sims at the time which were satisfied with the standard trope of putting you in the cockpit of a fighter, here you were in command of a starship! Of course the game has it fair share of bugs, but the refreshing gameplay lets you overlook these issues.
Gameplay wise the games true inertia engine forces you to plan out your approaches and tactics before hand. Its less seat of your pants but is satisfying in its own right. I am stoked that this has made it into GOG allowing it to live another day!
