This was the one I played as a kid and have a lot of nostalgia for, and while the aesthetic holds up, the gameplay doesn't. It's a tepid recommendation at best. The unit AI is just terrible, an enemy can simply march in and start attacking your base unless you explicitly manage your units to defend. So many units lost to simply disengaging mid-combat because the enemy was out of aggro range. I don't recall it being this bad before, certainly not as good as Star Craft AI - for all the quirks it has. It's a relic of the RTS past and is more of a curiosity than anything.
