incredible enviromental destruction system (for the time)

I's honestly still pretty incredible, even today - it occasionally overpowers the game's engine when you blow up an entire building and have to wait like a minute for the game to recover (and running it on a modern system doesn't help, I assume it's single-threaded like a lot of older games, so modern CPUs in practice don't provide any extra power for it), but it's still very impressive.

I wish we lived in the timeline where simulationist stuff like this was further developed instead of everyone focusing on graphics fidelity, and Silent Storm and Red Faction: Guerilla were early examples that have since been surpassed, but unfortunately, they kind of are still the top-of-the-line, even after all these years... there's Teardown, I guess, but I don't know of many other modern games to have particularly extensive destruction.
