I ran it on my IIsi with only 16MB of RAM and 256 colours.  It rocked in
terms of early 3D shooters.  The weapons were cool and using the rockets to
propel yourself or using the weapons to activate things was kinda neat.  By
today's standards the graphics are crude and the action clunky, but
considering you're using a 68020 processor to run this thing and all of it
was loaded using four 3.5" floppies, it was worth every penny back then.

If you can find it try to get the enhancement packages i.e. turning the
creatures into Barney the dinosaur or loading up your character to the max
right at the beginning of the game.
