only the old-timers would remember this one.

I must have lost days to this game as a kid. Beef up speed, then armour, and leave weapons on as low as possible

Spectre VR was pretty cool too - loved some of those weapons

When I saw the title my immediate though was Bolo I remember Spectre though. That was a load of fun and ran real well even on low spec machines.

Bad timing. There's an electronics surplus store called Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale, California that had a whole bin of those CDs at the front of the store as free giveaways last year.

I have 3-1/2" floppys of Spectre and Spectre Supreme, but I have no idea if or where you could find source code.

Yeah, I thought Bolo too. I've got 3 or so legit copies of Spectre. Hey, that's a good reason to drag out the Quadra 630!
Is this a good place for an argument?
