Well this is a great game indeed. I've got the Collector's Edition.

This turns hours into minutes...

Any other games in the series you would recommend? I know there's a lot of commotion when it comes to the other games (a major hate/dislike towards them).

Terror from the Deep, the second game is still a pretty solid and nice game IMO. But it can get pretty hard if you don't pay attention The biggest problem is to know which weapons you can use in Land Operations, cause some of them only works underwater.

Hello,

You may be interested in those projects (in case you don't know them already):

http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/ - open source x-com inspired game, stable version is quite outdated, look at forum for new builds

http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Use.. - extender for original game, fixes bugs and adds new features

http://nefurii.my-place.us/ - reimplementation of game engine, uses graphics from original game. Multiplayer (ufo vs x-com) is implemented. Author wants to implement single player in future.

Default STEAM has RUINED X-COM

Hey guys,

I am just wondering how many of you are totally bummed that UFO is no longer for download from here? I personally bought the game that is now for sale on STEAM and I have to say, their release of this game completely SUCKS.

It is slow, choppy, and the resolution looks horrible... The CE version that was for download on abandonia was MARVELOUS, it ran like a charm, its resolution was untouched, and it was just generally a hundred times better than what STEAM have released.

Could someone help me out? I really want to play this game again, I cannot play steams. I wish they had never obtained any rights to sell the game again..
It is not a matter of it being for sale... I would have purchased the Abandonia CE for anywhere up to $100.. I just feel STEAM have taken this game and ruined it.
If anyone knows where I can get this game, you can contact me on [EDITED] to discuss this, or if it is allowed to be discussed on this forum then just reply to my post.

Cheers!

Have you played UFO: Afterlight..?

It's a good sequel to the XCOM/UFO games. I haven't got the older ones on cd, so I can't help. But I *do* have Afterlight, if you are running Windows...

Yeah, I realize that. I'm just saying that I'm not very happy about it being sold on steam, because I purchased the game and it is very slow and choppy, and unplayable in my opinion.

When it was abandoned, the version that was free to download from this site was fantastic with no performance issues at all.
So I really hope their license to sell UFO runs out soon and it becomes abandonware again, and the original file can be put back on here!

I miss that original file immensely. STEAM can go to hell.

Check if the STEAM version uses DOSBox to run, please.
If it does, it's just a matter of some configuration tweaks.
