Hi!

I also played with this awesome game years ago, and installed it last month again. This game is really a hard one, even after so many years The first time I could only finish it (an old dos version of the game) by hexaediting my saved game which resulted extra 400 million dollars. With the help of this, everything went smoother

I couldnt read all the 36 pages of comments but i'd like to advise you something:

Create a wiki-forum for ufo1! Everyone can make additions, or modify incorrect statements in it.

Some of you have a very high knowledge in the game, dont let these hints go away, or dissapear in forums! I also wrote a complete game-guide about ufo1 in a booklet about 10 years ago (ehh, how old am i ) it was about 30 pages (and it wasnt even complete) but i borrowed it to someone i forgot.
I havent ever seen the original manual of the game, but as a base of the WIKI it would be perfect. Only additions and corrections should be written to it.

For example: -mentioning that xcomutil (i've never heard about it)
-to warn users about crashing at landing missions (it happened with me manly at terror sites) OR one can use the DOS-version in pure DOS environment (no windows, see it later)
-i never knew, why can i see the picture of the ufo during aircraft-attack?
-why do fundings change, as they do? i havent seen any ufo in europe, but at the end of the month european countries decrease the money. Is it possible i didnt detect ufos in front of my base in europe? (building more short/long radar would detect more ufos? both type of radars are required?)
-when and why do they do base-attacks?
-and maybe the most important: what kind of versions are available. Since i wasnt able to extract version-number from the executable, i dont know the one i owned is the latest (bug fixes), and now there is even a windows version (which bugs still exist in it)
-and these interesting facts, as: difficulty level doesnt change anything etc.

These are some of my questions, which could be a godd additions to that community site.

Bye!

Ps. i found this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Com but thats just a joke. Even my old gameguide was 10 times longer, than this.
ps2: sorry for my poor english, i am a fun from hungary

Well some of them were already posted here,but a little conclussion
-Yes if someone decrase your funds it is becouse there was an Ufo that you dont detected.They will be also more likely to decrese funding when-You ignore landed Ufos or even worse terror sites
-When you have missions with rating terrible
-If you detect some Ufos but they flee
- :blink: Why can you see the picture of the Ufo during airattacks?Never think about it becouse it is pretty???
-Your bases are often attacked in late phases of game,probobly when it become a thorn ín eyes of aliens or something like that.
-There was a bug in original Ufo that causes that all dificults in Ufo were more or less the same.It was repaired by patch.
And there is surely many that I forgot or even didnt know so correct me if I wrote some bullsh*ts...
