Needs a REAL set of instructions – First Strike: Classic Review

This game could’ve been so much better, if the developers had simply invested in a real set of instructions. Apparently, they think that their controls are inherently intuitive. But they are NOT. The research option is a specially opaque. I can never tell if I have chosen a research direction, or if it’s just telling me what it’s doing - it’s very stupid. Also, why on earth do you have to do research by each country? It is needlessly complicated. Also, they never explain the controls at the bottom. What did they do? How does it work? Essentially, I am learning the game by trial and error. Or, perhaps I should say that I WAS learning the game that way – I am done now… Waste of money.
