Did YOU ever play this game? Or... hear of it? Or... just imagine it?

Games are like sheep. They come, they go, and they try to pull out your brains along the way. OK, not exactly like sheep, or anything at all like sheep (or anything else for that matter), but the point is that sometimes good games don't sell as well as they probably should, often due to tiny little problems like a 'Microsoft' sticker on the side.

Anyone who recognises my nation's name probably already knows which game I'm talking about, and that one is Microsoft/Terratools' 'Urban Assault'. Made in 1998, it was a strategy/action/first-person/sci-fi/modern game. Yes. So, did anyone play this game avidly as I used to (and still do)? Anybody hear of it? Play it once and then run away from the seemingly overwhelming interface? Dream about it without realising what it was until you read this post? Think you were in it? Were you one of the people who made it? Do you just like to say you were into something that you weren't just to get attention? If so, post here or forever hold your pineapples. What did you think of it? Where did you put it if you didn't like it? Do you still play it?
