I unfortunately didn't get to play it back in 88...As I recall, it required 1 megabyte of memory, and my 1000 was limited to 512K. I obviously missed out, big time (I can say the same for several key Amiga games like Secret of Monkey Island; by the time I got my 3000 around 92 or 93 or so, the Amiga was all but dead in the USA and I couldn't find games for it--stupid purchase, really; should've gone PC). I also missed out on the Eye of the Beholder series, again much to chagrin. I was much behind the times until 95 or so, when I finally got a good PC and started playing games like Riven and Might & Magic VI: Mandate of Heaven, missing out on the vital early 90s period of game history. Of course, I've gone back and played most of this stuff via emulation, but I can't hope to capture the awe and excitement that people like you must have felt playing it back in the late 80s.

I'm happy now because I just downloaded Company for Heroes from Direct2Drive and am finally seeing what all the fuss was about. I've only played the demo and the tutorial so far, but I'm already hooked. It's like Cannon Fodder or Army Men but much better! (and less comical!)
