It is possibly the worst game ever written for the PC. Now, if I remember correctly it was not nearly as cool as Rambo on Genesis or Command & Conquer (yes the original) on PC. But Rambo had it's flaws too : his partner never got the fire arrows. Yes, believe it or not, there are even injustices in the video game world.

What happened to the classic first person shooter where everything blew up and nobody could live past the second level?
What happened to the days of parents needing to censor games because of an atrocious amount of gore, violence and sexual content?
What happened to the homegrown US of A gaming titles that gamers and geeks alike (not actually the same sub-genre people, learn your losers) flocked to the shelves of the nearest Wal-Mart to reserve three years in advance to receive the promotional poster. Where, in fine print, it would clearly state that the poster was no bigger than the pornos their moms found in their pleather wallets earlier that day. I miss the good old days, where a first person shooter taught the values of the hard earned dollar and how to narrowly avoid everything life could possibly (and unpossibly) throw your way.

Also, I'd appreciate some credit for the clever and witty title.
I'm all man.
