Another feature that makes this game stand the test of time is its speed factoring. you can use keyboard numbers 1-8 to speed up or slow down how quickly time passes, if you want to 'fast forward' through a slow portion of a mission - waiting for your units to move to their assigned locations for example. you don't get to use it TOO often, because the bad guys also move at hyperspeed when you set speed to 8. The real beauty of this is, even with the newest systems, the speed isn't exaggereated like with, say, the original Mechwarrior game. It's truly a percentage of your system's speed.
