I loved that game ! Played it to death, probably the game I've spent most hours on, aside from Sid Meier's Civilization I to IV series. Graphics were a bit cheesy, even for that time but the gameplay was superb.

The combination between the strategic "overland" level and the tactical "battle" level was extremely effective at getting one into a state of pure flow!

I was such a fan of New World Computing games than back in '97, upon visiting California, I dropped by their offices and met some guys. If I had any IT training at that time I would have given an arm to get hired in their studios !
