I've always really wanted to play this game and today, I decided to get buy it from GOG....I regret not getting it sooner.

It's an awesome game - I don't exactly have the best tactics (basically it involves rolling out the Rocket Tank to take down all the alien guys outside the ship and then sending in the 'marines' to do the clearing inside). It's not pretty but so far no fatalities for us.

I've found doing the ones in the cities a lot harder though (stupid side streets and alley ways too small for my tank!!! lol) but it's great fun going from building to building trying to find them while having civys running about.

Doing the alien autopsy's is really interesting too as you get the chance read a little about the buggers that nearly got you in the last battle (came across some floating disc things in the last one and they were pretty resilient - haven't completed the research on them yet so don't really know that much about them yet lol).

Thanks to research I've just managed to get my brave guys some funky personal armour and a medi-kit (yep, just the one...they have to share it among themselves....I like to think of the guy that starts with it as my 'medic'.......well, that's actually my excuse for being to tight to develop some more).

What a great classic. Really getting into it and cant wait to get some more research done.

Is there much variation in landscape, interiors, etc as the game progresses or does it stay pretty much as it is throughout?
