Yes, it's a classic game worth the time. But, if you do decide to check it out, then if possible, seek out an original boxed copy with the full manual. The manual is a big part of the RSR experience in the classic Microprose style, well written, informative and really helps set the mood for playing the game. And, as has been said many times, the campaign is a blast to play, with the different time frames and subs available, years of replay value (and I mean YEARS). One of Sid Meier's best, IMO. It's only dated in graphics, the gameplay is timeless.
