Hmm, yeah... Commanche Maximum Overkill or something like that? I was never
that into the games side of things, but there were some pretty impressive ones
around during the early 90's given the limitations of the hardware.
cheers

Hmm, if you could find it, that'd be great! :-) My memory of it is that it
wasn't really much different from the equivalent modern Playstation games -
just that the resolution was way less and there was less texture to
everything. But I'd still like to see if my memory matches the real thing :-)
yeah yeah, it's a game and I don't
normally do game posts :-) Does
anyone happen to have a copy? I was watching the lad playing some 3D
adventure game on the playstation 2 earlier and it brought back
memories of playing Ultima back in the early 90's on my old 486 PC and
just how darn good that game was. Other than the low screen res by
modern standards, I reckon it should have stood the test of time
pretty well.
Wow, I'd forgotten about that one! I should have the copy I bought when
it came out, but who knows where on earth it is. IIRC, that was pretty
impressive for 256 colour VGA. (off to look
for more early 90's classics I think :-)
Commanche Attack Helicopter (I think that's the right name) comes to
mind, it is the most impressive game I've ever seen running on a 486/33
with 640x480 256 colour.
