Right here we go....

to be very honest i have struggled with this game and am finding it difficult tp review in a positive way.

the best way for me to describe this game is by saying Dune 2. it is very similar in both style and gameplay.

the game can be tricky to get running on a normal os setup as the rtg libs don't seem to install correctly (I installed them manually in the end) however it is no problem to install on a classicWB setup (as all the files are already configured for you)

in short apart from the high res graphics and digitised speech it doesn't offer anything more than Dune 2 in fact IMOPO Dune 2 is a better game, but don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself

Just as an FYI, I did play Napalm in WinUAE and the CD audio worked fine. (description says it does not, but perhaps it was an older version of WinUAE)

Great game BTW
 
Thanks for your review Justin :)
Naplam was ok, but I always thought the sides (humans & robots) needed a bit of balancing. The human's heavy helicopters were way over powered compared to the robot's anti-grav units.
