The first isometric shooter in my memory brought the arcade's furious action, cool "powerups," and simple fun to the PC. The shadow that the plane casts on the ground is cool, too.I remember playing this for days on end-- it was difficult to visualize the "3D" of the game because of the limited 4-color palette-- my plane always hit the brick walls because I couldn't line the plant up precisely with the opening.
