It was hardly your card. I'm running an FX5900. So far I'm not finding the graphics to be any better than Terminus, which looked dated when it came out maybe 4 years ago. His claims about needing pixel and optionally vertex shaders seems a bit incongruous with the quality of the graphics assets in the game. > If you are big on space based games, remember Wing Commander?

I think at that time I was into RTS games like Warcraft and Age of Empires. IWar is the oldest space game I've played since I had a glide card and it was supported. That is if you don't count Star Raiders (on the Atari 800), Asteroids, and Space Invaders (heh heh).
