I miss it too. Better than anything today, especially LOONIX. I had this great game where you roamed around on some prison moon planting pylons to release gasses trapped in this prison moon. I think you had to plant 10 pylons.
Gunship...man, I loved playing Gunship. I was a stone cold killer—Did the primary and secondary missions every time and then went looking for targets of opportunity on the way back to base. Of course, I like Battlefront and the other military/military sci-fi shooters that are out these days. Last year at Christmas, my 8 year old killed me with a rocket launcher in Halo, and I whacked my nephew with an M-1 sniper-style in Medal of Honor Pacific.
Good times...good times.
