So anyways have any of you played it before and was it any good?
Yes. It's not worth buying, and I agree that it probably wouldn't work on modern computers without a lot of work. It has a lot of limitations (the most serious being that you can't see infantry from vehicles, let alone fight them, though they can see and kill you). I sold it to Half Price Books after fooling with it for about three weeks (that was about 15 years ago or so). You're also going to have a really hard time finding a 5.25" Floppy drive that will connect to a modern computer.

The original price, BTW, when I bought it, was only $35. So you're paying a premium for a poor game.
