So, a friend of mine gave me his old 98 with this game on it, but when I try to open it, it wants a CD to be in drive D. Should I just pop in any old CD, or does it have to be THE CD?

I'm guessing it would have to be THE CD. You could try and find a crack for it.

If a game's copy protection requests a CD, it's asking for the CD. Not for any other disc.

And expansions? IMHO, D2 Vertigo was the best part to all of the Descent games. Mercenary was also very good.

I just remembered something that worked for me way back. Try editing Xcom3.cfg using Notepad and change the letter/path to correspond with the game's location on the hard drive.

I'm having issues with this game so I'm trying to get the cheats to work but can't manage it. From the main cityscape screen i'm holding alt and typing ufo cheat. but I can't manage to get it to activate. There something I'm missing?
