I thought it was over-rated too.
But some people think it's the holy grail.

Download this version, it's XP compatible.

Also, if you have nothing to say, then piss off... sorry if that's blunt, but it's necessary.

You'll have to excuse me as the point of this thread is to DISCUSS the game, not a beacon for fans of a game.

I was expressing my opinion, and no matter how reserved you are that was rude.

The reason I didn't like X-Com is because it was slow and unbalanced. I had played Jagged Alliance, Fallout Tactics, and many other tactical games, but X-Com lacked a constant reason for you to keep playing.

Really? I thought the Fallout Tactics was one game that was really unbalanced (kinda hard in the beginning and very easy later on) as well as very slow (when fighting beast lords).

Still, I loved the game because of the graphics

Hmm I like playing X-COM because it's a different challenge each time.

Fallout Tactics is brilliant, but Christian is right, it isn't very balanced. Jagged Alliance is the same, starting very easy and getting murderously difficult...

I like the pace of FT though.

Hey guys stop bickering, Jagged alliance, Fallout tactics and UFO are all great games. And they are all unbalanced. I mean, a simple computer limited A.I? against smart guys like us ?

I researched hard but never could find any. Probably that same tech bug as in X-Com :evil:

I do appologise if this has been asked and answered somewhere else in this quite large thread,

But how do you play this game on a LCD screen?
:help:

A black screen with "Input not Supported" is not how I remember the graphics of this classic.

Starting the program in windowed mode might do the trick but how would one do that?
