Sadly most of these features have vanished in the intervening 16-years and yes before the flames hit, in some ways AOTD has not aged at all well.

Otherwise a modded SH3 or SH4 as solid runners-up.
I agree Randomizer, Aces of the Deep has it all! Now all we need is some kind of windows or OpenGL port, and we're in subsim heaven.
