Yup.  It is definately more than justa shoot 'em up, although that aspect of it 
can be alot of fun if you and a friend are in a hurry.  Definately take more 
time with this game as I think you will enjoy it alot.  Some parts of the port 
are little lacking, but overall a great game.

The best part is that the scenario editor is very easy to use, you can whip up a 
new scenario in less than 5 minutes.  Just wish that there was a ship editor as 
well...
