I use to love this game and it also was a turning point in me understanding my PC. For almost 2 years I played this game in MCGA mode before finding out I wanted VGA mode.

I knew the graphics seemed really subpar at the time and was also playing other games that were full VGA (I just assumed the fact it was 3d was the reason). Boy did I feel stupid when I figured that out.

I guess the silver lining in it is that you got a graphical upgrade in a game you already played and liked giving you another reason to play it again.
