I feel so stupid I dont think I did that the first time, I tried after unzipping the file and I think I ran it but I couldnt seem to select anything so I tried to extract the files a second time and then I renamed the "xcom" folder to "xcom2" and then the setup wouldnt run at all.
I never thought about the folder name that might be the problem
But still I have it running now and everything seems fine

Just make sure to run setup.exe in dosbox and then to play the game run ufocd.bat and everything works great now
:brain: :brain: k: :w00t:

Thank you so much

That's one of the best games ever!

It's so complicated and addictive at the same time.

Tho I have not tried the 2000 version and the aquatic version yet. I'm afraid I can get disappointed :S

Terror From the Deep will terrorize you. (bad pun, I know)
It's far more difficult than this one.

Also, make sure to try Apocalypse.

"Terror Form The Deep" dissappointed me.

Terror from the deep was much better to me than UFO. although largely same (very similar) it does have some new graphics. maps are a bit bigger and nicer. for example passanger boat terror site... with exploding kitchen (i wonder why so many aliens are there) and casino!

in UFO most maps look the same. over and over and over .... i got sikc of all the barns. ok occasionally there are some woods and desert. but mostly it's just same old barns.

and there is always a lot of aliens even if the ship is quite small. which is kind of a bonus

but people who say they weren't blown away with TFTD are right. gameplay is the same. graphics are improved but not as much as one might expect. there are new settings (underwatter - vulcanic, old ship, 2x "normal", gas pipes and underwatter drill facility, new terror sites - 2 ships, tropical islands, port (docking bay), two part missions - colony, alien artefact center, 3 part mission final assault). all in all it brings some new stuff. but aliens are very similar only look a bit different and wear a new name.

Oh strongest weapons no longer has auto fire, which kind of balances it.

well since i played Xcom2 first i was dissapointed with UFO for the similar reason other were disspaointed in Xcom2 :bleh:

@Horseman UFO 2000 is a multiplayer-only right? So i will not play it until i can play it alone. With aquatic version you mean Terror of the deep?.


i have played X-Force - Fight For Destiny but it is unbalanced and has some error. there is lot to do until it is complete. Is there another Remake or such that i can play?


@David but beware X-Com 2 is harder than UFO. Apocalypse is complet different from UFO 1+2. i didnt really like it. UFO is for me still the King of all time.

*runs away*

I think there was some sort of basic AI you could play against.

The only X-Com with underwater action there is.

Extraterrestials or Alien Invasion, maybe. I think there were a few others, but didn't check on them for ages so can't tell which ones are still alive and which... well, you know, went the way of Dodo.

Damn. I´ve just started with UFO. I have the original Apocalypse, and I liked it a lot, but I never understood why so many people considered the original UFO to be much better.

I know now.

Too bad I suck at it. I try to use the same tactics I used in Apocalypse (which was damn easy) and now I`m getting my behind completely kicked.

Damn those soldiers, they die like flies... And those aliens look like damn snipers.
