M1 Tank Platoon is probably Microprose's finest product to date. The
sheer depth of the program is incredible. The Amiga version suffers a
little (maybe a lot depending upon your expectations) due to the video
modes used - things tend to look a little grainey (sp?). The game has
great lastability due to the random mission system, and the campaign
mode. 

In short - the game is a winner. If you want more in the way of details
- let me know.
