I didn't have and couldn't have afforded a CD-ROM drive, so the CUCD's were such a tease!
I used to sit and read the contents in the mag, or read (but obviously not run) the contents on my Dad's Mac. Oh, back in the day!
I had access to the Aminet at school, but downloads were limited to one 700k floppy worth per day!
I remember Tanx... we had another one called "Scorched Earth" which was better - all kinds of weird weapons. Tanx had pretty good graphics though, plus the physics (fans etc)
