I LOVE this game!! HAM is cool, and the soundtrack rocks! I have been known to leave the game run just for the music.

This one is a dud, with the HAM mode as a gimick.

The game is nothing more than a HAM fest (?). The gameplay's pretty dull IMHO.

Both ambitious and technically impressive, this game somewhat failed to attain legendary status since thousands of colours hardly meant amazing graphics if they were not employed sensibly. As the screenshots reveal, most of the colours appear in the (awkward looking) status board and the (appealing) digitised screens, while the hand-drawn elements (such as the command room) lack the depth and plasticity the HAM mode would have allowed. This blend of visual styles never really works; bill williams should have painted in 32 or 64 colours instead, or digitised everything from drawings and paintings.
