A really great read if you're a fan of the game. Which you should be. There is a special surprise in part 3 that you'll know when you see it.

FYI, you can currently buy Moonbase Commander on GOG (http://www.gog.com/promo/weekend_promo_blast_from_the_past_260615) for $1.79. I bought it and started playing again. It's so damn good, you have no idea.

EDIT: Also if you get the game, you'll need this program (http://www.gamefront.com/files/1783825/Moonbase-Commander-Console/) to play online.

I'm gonna snag the GOG version tomorrow. I know I have the disc somewhere, but god knows where at this point, and that article has me too interested. I picked it up years ago to play with you guys, but I guess you sorta stopped, and I just never got around to installing it. Seems like a waste ... about time I finally rectified it.
