Laser weapons and basic armor are the first things you need!

Lasers ftw! Damn, now I want to play it again. Nothing quite like it, really.

Still, Apocalypse was decent IMO. Not nearly as good as it could have been, but decent.
I liked juggling finances and political relations, and I really liked the retro-50's styling of the vehicles and gear.
I thought the concepts for alien species were good, too. And the ability to raid hostile corporations was nice. I flattened the Cult of Sirius at least twice a week.

But I can see the merits of the original quite clearly. I wish someone would re-make it in a modern format, staying faithful to the original style and concept. Also I wish they would fix the graphic of the power armor, it looks like a cybernetic gorilla suit.

Ah, memories..........
