Best turn based strategy ever. Old thread was like 3 years old.
I recently got it off of ebay for the PS. I ended up playing for hours yesterday. Man I love this game.  8/2/2005 9:53:06 AM

I kinda like being able to play on a TV. Though I really miss the mouse. I'm still getting used to the controls. 8/2/2005 11:27:36 AM |

Man, I was hardcore into X-COM back in the day. I used to love changing around the weapon stats and other fun modifications. I would add in graphics and change stats in order to make a Pulse Rifle from the movie Aliens. Those dirty aliens weren't gonna have the best weapons in the game any more, hell no. I also did a graphics patch for X-COM: Apocalypse seeing as how the better armor sets in that one reminded me so much of Cobra troopers.

I always did seem to enjoy X-COM: Terror From the Deep most of all even though that one is probably the least liked of them all. 8/2/2005 3:18:00 PM |

It used to be SO funny to me to train my soldiers to have extremely high psionic abilities, and then have them use their Psi-Amps to line up the aliens for a firing squad. Either that, or control one, have him prime a grenade, and then run into a room full of his buddies. They shoot him, he drops the grenade, and the whole room goes up.
Which reminds me! I discovered by accident that the Harvester (I think it was) ships have a certain corner point on the top deck which, when hit with a Blaster shell, causes a HUGE explosion that obliterates every single thing on the whole top level. It's like a 12-chain explosion. Mighty convenient if you're in a "kill 'em all" sort of mood.  8/2/2005 6:48:06 PM |
