'95 I meant, yes - actually have the original box up on the shelf here, had 
to go and check!!

Reason I'm finding it  tough is that defenses are weak.
Technique I always liked best was to use sandbags to funnel the opposition 
into my missile towers and chain guns - can't do that here. And keep getting 
very confused about left / right click, and missing the Ctrl F5 etc location 
bookmarks.

Still, Dune 2 was even worse... left click to select, left click to choose a 
goto or attack command, then left click to select target. Unplayable, 
right? -  yet somehow we managed and enjoyed it.
