Hi. I love this game but i cant get DOS box to work. Im having problems with CPU cycles ( or something like that). Any suggestions?

Halfway through this post.

Ultimate BUG Abuse
 

This is a neat little bug I discovered, and it gives you lots of $$$.
1)Research the Bio Transport Module.
2)Assign your Engineering team to make one.
3)Now click the assign button again and....you get your money back. Do it again and again, and you'll always get that money back.
4)If it doesn't work, cause you did something else, cancel the assignment, and re-assign it and it will work again!

Have fun!

Did enyone buy the x-com series from steam. I was wondering if it works on xp or do you still have to use dosbox

Actually.
It works on XP, because it's integrated with a streamlined version of DOSBox.

little help?
 

the message on the x-com a page says no-go, im assuming that the download is down? but i checked about 2 weeks later and here i am still disappointed. this is one of my favorite games and i like to consider myself quite the avid oldschool gamer.

little help here? if someone could upload or fix the download thatd be much appreciated. also, i've finished this game at least a few times on every difficulty, so if anyone has any questions, just reply here or email me at *email removed*

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the game is sold on Steam. As such we cannot host it here. We only keep the review as a matter of archiving, and if, at some point, the game becomes abandoned again e.g. not sold, the download will be available again. :)

I honestly dislike programs like Steam. Luckily I never got rid of X-Com Apoc, or any of the X-Com games.

Anyways, I wonder what X-Com Apoc would have been like if EA hadn't rushed it. There was supposed to be a more fleshed out political system along with more conflict within MegaPrimus, instead of only being against the aliens, and political fights between the two political parties, etc. It would have been a lot more colorful.
