Same here. We had this and a bunch of other games on our school computer and got very little done.
The mother of all games! I bet the game manual I printed is still lying at the bottom of some forgotten drawer at my parents house.

Anyone remember the name of a space game from around that time , or maybe even bit earlier, was DOS at least. I think it was 3D view from cockpit, chasing and shooting others. I remember it was possible to multiplayer over LAN
Descent ?
Decent game!
I remembered playing this in our school's computer lab
yass I played the hell out of this one
That game was the fucking best.
I'm old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other
Even better, it's predecessor: Gorillas.
