PC, Amiga, and ST though it is probably best known in it's Amiga form
because it used the Epic game engine (which was a 3D space shooter).
Parts of the game were FPS with keyboard control for movement and
mouse for aiming, other parts were first person driving and 3rd person
flying with a jetpack.  In an ironic way it's more in tune with what
the game industry seems to want now, a game where you are in different
vehicles/scenarios like GTA as opposed to a pure straight up FPS.
