I played that game to death. I think the first time through I ran into the time limit, which sucked. Finished it at some point on another play though, and later someone released a patch that took off the time limit, which was cool cause then you really had time to do everything.

Played a lot of the melee with a friend on the old Aptiva my family had, and I had one friend with a 3DO and played melee on that, too. I got pretty good. Loved the Earth Shuttle and the "bubble ship" (can't remember the name). These two were necessary for taking on the Ur-Quan ships, IMO.
