When you bust your ass trying to achieve the mission objectives of the first mission but fail because your wingmen get chewed up in one pass by the enemy, leaving you to take out the entire enemy force, defend the objective ship, and still try to keep your ass in one piece, one tends to get annoyed.
I don't know if it's anything to do with my (then) joystick. I had "upgraded" to a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 to replace my Precision Pro, but getting a lock on anything with an enemy IFF was a chore.
And, for the record, the bantar was grating but infinately less annoying than Wing Commander: Prophecy. Special Ops had better pilot talk IMHO, despite the fact that the cast featured in the Prophecy.
Hmm. Funny how of all the SO pilots (Zero, Maestro, Stilletto, Spyder, and Amazon) Amazon was the only one who could die in Prophecy. Funny how she didn't have a huge part to play in that game either.
Quick Q for anyone familiar with the game: Was Spyder the peroxide blonde guy that used to hang around with Hawk? He seemed to be fairly important in-game, had a movie credit attributed to him, but it was never explicitaly said who he was in the movies, and neither (In-game & movie) sounded like each other.
Edit: *Checks the IMDB* Grr. No photo. Actor's name is Brad Greenquist BTW.

When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
