I've been waiting for this for years. It was truly one of my favorites on my
C-64, and I've wondered what a modern, full 3-d version would be like.

Done properly, I think it could really wow some people - the array of
vehicles, tracks, gravity and weapons gave it *huge* replay value. I wasted
a lot of time on it.
