It was one of the first games released for RISC OS, and pre-dated Arc 
Elite by a few years. As such it was a vision of the future, and 
probably one of the very first games on any platform to feature filled 
3D graphics.

The APDL collections are excellent value, so even if you decide that 
UIM isn't your sort of game there are still lots of other games on the 
disc that you will like.

AFAIR, it runs a little fast on StrongARM and above, but IIRC you're 
running an A7000+ so you should be OK.
