  • i once beat the game in 6 months gametime, on the hardest difficulty. on the VERY FIRST DAY, a very large ufo flew over my base and landed next to it. i sent 8 soldiers with rifles and lost all but 2 of them. we capped the alien leader and he told me about cydonia. with the technology i made an avenger that took 5 months to make, loaded it full of soldiers with personal armor and laser rifles, and won. goes without saying, i think i broke a world record.

  • i lolled hard at the ending... like the brain said: wait bro, it wasn't my.. booom!

  • what amour is that bro?

  • does anyone know if u reaserch a captured leader or commander does some information pop up about them i press view reaserch and it just skips to allocate new reaserch without telling me anything or showing me a picture or anything

  • That was a clever way to win.

  • 2:56 Looked like cheese wheel

  • I'm new to this franchise is this a game with a short learning curve like Red Alert 2 or do I have to play it for a couple of hours to get used to the game mechanics?

  • What research do you need for that mind control stuff?

  • @TheCheeseball23 catch a etlhernal or sectod leader/ commander

  • @sambonedallas Thanks i managed to research that and at the end of the month the option screen for training came up. How long until my troops can actually use mind amps?

  • @sambonedallas Thanks i managed to research that and the option screen came up for training my soldiers. How long until the training is complete and my guys can actually use mind amps?

  • Yogscast is doing a Live Stream of this Game.

  • @WhiteTrashBarbarian I play it on Windows 7 64 bit.

  • You ought to rename the video "How to cheat at the last mission of UFO : Enemy Unknown'

  • Where can I download this game?

  • @BlasterSuperMaster steam store

  • @BlasterSuperMaster Steam if you hurry quick you might be able get all five in the series for 7.50$ or just this one for like a 1.50

  • My tactics, save every man from the start untill the end game, then send them through a suicide mission.1 survived, the end

  • i only went there once, they mind controlled my guy with the blaster in the ship. end of story

  • Anyone play this on windows 7? Anyone know a place for good mods? Fast victory guess not your first time through

  • That was a fast fight

  • I need help! Can anybody tell the name of the game where the character wears in a red armor and the gameplay is like this. He kill everyone in the spaceship. I really can't remember the name of this game.

  • @19Slim68 Crusader: No Regret or Crusader: No Remorse?

  • @MilesOCP002 *sniff* Crusader: No Remake :(

  • @MilesOCP002 Thank you so much!

  • my brain must be corrupted by todays standards of what a good videogame is, because this honestly looks tedious as shit!

  • Haha wow you rocked it with that strategy. My run involved shooting blaster bombs into every room. The General Sherman strat.

    One useful tip for people who have teams with low psi training: create an idiot. Hire a rookie with 0 psi strength and don't equip any weapons on him. He will get mind controlled each round and just wander around.

  • best tactical rpg ever

  • 'Quit to DOS' ?? how dare you! 'New Game' !!

  • Total cheating at 2:20. This is not the intended solution. You're taking a shortcut. (Or whoever played this)

  • no aliens moan and no blood, your strategy is to human and not fun.

  • lol, how do you have the patience to play with them moving so slowly? ^^

  • What is better than X-Com: UFO defense? Well, it X-COM game turned into FPS game to please the fans. I mean if you are X-COM fan, then you will also like FPS games. You get to shoot aliens in first person ... totally original.

  • just finished too, but i didnt use psi amps. i even was only able to train only 10 soldiers in psi, but forgot to bring psi amps (and never used it as i got psi trained soldiers like 6 days ago)

    also i just bring whatever soldier i had, it was fun

  • xcomutil, superhuman & random floorplans for ufos <3

  • Man, why did u shoot the floor in front of the lime cake? There really is no need to test the weapon. They are made for the Ethereal and assigned to the top level officers in Cydonia. In other words, they passed QC better than the ones you brought from earth's battlefield salvage.

  • epic.

  • you can MC robots?

  • @BlackSabbath628 You can MC everyone exept your own soldiers that are already controlled by aliens

  • dude going to cydonia was a pain in the ass, thouse damn sectoids snipers in the open, good thing i got a kick ass sniper in my team(my little brother loves him because no matter the distance he never miss :P), and thouse blasted crizalids inside.

    it took me a few tries but i finished the mission, it was one hell of a game. im crossing my fingers to "Xenonauts", indie developers to the rescue :D.

  • Wow I used to play this game and had no idea it was called x-com back then. xD I would play it for hours as a kid. Great game! Shame about the new one ='/

  • Nah, its possible to do it in 1 turn with no mind control.

    Mind control is easy mode.

  • poor maria :/

  • @Amoraklin2

    This game is old as hell and I can STILL spend hours playing it and not get bored. I play games very frequently and am even going to school to make designing them my career. The fact it can hold my attention despite its age shows, in my eyes at least, that it is an excellent game with a good design. I urge anyone who really enjoys X-com to look up the game Xenonauts. It is at heart an X-com remake by an indie studio.

  • I agree completely! I'd stil play it if I still had the disc and manual and a PC slow enough to handle it.

    I don't like the thought of it as a shooter. I could see a Starcraft treatment though.

  • @1stPCFerret Use Impulse to buy it, they have a legal version that has been fixed to work on all comps

  • @hunterg24 Thanks for the tip! I went to Impulse and got a copy and it works GREAT on my Win 7 PC! I'd forgotten how much I miss that old warhorse.

    THIS is the version they should keep and upgrade using new graphics and music, not that horrible FPS.

  • @1stPCFerret No prob, always happy to help out a fellow gamer.

  • @Amoraklin2

    Yeah... it looked good when it came out, educate yourself! This is an old game!

    The new game however looks terrible for its time, the textures, creatures, and overall design.

    And WHY did they make it a shooter? Like we dont have enough of those already.

    If you still think its good, dont buy it, stay with you WoW and Halo: Reach...

  • I miss the good ol games..

  • "Piece of shit"... Go play some Call of Duty, kid.

  • @gongal

    He sounds like a perfect example of the stupidity of today's youth.

  • @CaptainJetJakal Most people would disagree with you, this is infact hailed as one of the best turn-based strategy games out there.

  • What?

  • best game ive ever owned

  • I hated those black Alien-esque lil bastards. Gah those a bitch to take out XD

  • how do you get teh mind control gun? thanks!

  • AAAAAH coolest game ever... no wonder I never had a Girlfriend when this game came out....

  • Try doing the whole game without mind control, much more fun

  • Your luck with mind controls far > than mine, lol.

  • he mindcontrolled the shyt out of those aliens

  • This game is freaking awesome.

  • Pretty cool victory, dude. What I did was quite unorthodox as well. Landed on Mars, got all my troops wiped out by each other thanks to the alien Psi attacks (they were all weak in the mind), except for one HWP (immune to Psi). Killed everything on the map with this single HWP, killed everything underground, blasted big enough hole on roof to get to alien brain, won :) Okay, this was in beginner mode, but still.

  • Best game ever made. Picked it up again recently on Steam and played through the entire thing. Nothing compares to the first time I played through it when everything was fresh, the maps were new, I was clueless about research, and had no idea how to get to Mars. But this game is still epic and second to none!

  • This game is awesome, too bad I never got it right and always fucked up.

  • what the fuck is going on here??

  • use state of the art homing missles... and have sex after.

  • if i ever have a daughter, i'll name her Cydonia.

  • Nice JOB! :)

  • One of the best games ever made with the worst ending ever hahaha

  • But he just wanted to be our friend D:

  • 2:08 was just cheap ~_~

  • lol, I was never into mind control except using the old fashioned gun blazing tactic >.>

    spent hour on last mission and there you finished in one turn

  • For Gods sake, could some company/individual/consortium/­evil being with magic powers, please please please just re-release this game with updated graphics, a few new things to research, new weopans, perhaps a new alien species or two and a few general MINOR tweaks like that? Dont add in "new cool" stuff, like being unable to buy stuff, recruit people, build things in new bases whenever you want. This game is awesome, stop trying to change and just re-release it for Windows 7 FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVEEE THIS GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Played when i was a teenager!!!! wow! dats was more than 20 years ago!!!

  • @malmsteen2002 20 years ago the game didn't even exist.

  • You don't fly to Cydonia.

    You climb there upon the mountain of dead rookies.

  • @BLARGHALT

    What are rookies? or soldiers for that matter?

    I only have meatsacks dumber then mutons.... :(

  • Thanks for the Website jackass I hadn't looked at in awhile, but made me realize besides you being to cheap to upgrade your personnel's body armor, that you won the game on the easiest level. I don't know how many of your force you lost taking the surface, but judging those who made it to part 2 verses how many you could take I'd say you got hosed pretty good. Come talk to me when you've actually accomplished something.

  • @NJburbsSeeker I am sorry. I just now realized that you are... well, mentally challenged. I hope you don't feel too bad. Best of luck "too" you, my special buddy.

  • @captainvideoblogger Not special enough to spend my whole life playing games and having nothing else to show for it like yourself. If one mistake makes someone less than "normal" well I can only imagine what your peers must think of you. Still I hate trolls and I've wasted enough time with you, and I'm sure you need more time to display your "accomplishments" online. Games are fun, but has only them in their life is truly sad. I feel sorry for you, because this is all you have.

  • @NJburbsSeeker "Games are fun, but has only them in their life is truly sad."

    How is babby formed?

    But seriously, best of luck to you, don't eat your crayons and say hi to your mom for me. Remember Corky, life goes on.

  • @captainvideoblogger Ah if I only took a moment to formulate a sentence properly before heading out to work. You know that thing adults do to earn money for things besides video games? Ah mother jokes, buddy you're not skilled enough to make it sound good, but you are pathetic enough to sound stupid. Anyway it is nice to know you make fun of people with developmental problems to feel good about yourself. Shows how low you are on the food chain.

  • @NJburbsSeeker So you are saying that you are retarded enough to eat crayons and to admit that you are wrong but you still go to work? Good for you.

  • @captainvideoblogger No but I'm finding out just how insecure you are though. What a sorry lonely man you are.

  • @NJburbsSeeker Theme of "being sad " just shines trough your comments. I know that you are sad because your mom spends more time with me than with you, but this is not the way to express your feelings. I have to ask that your mother takes away your internet rights until things settle down. Now hard feelings, special little buddy ;)

  • @captainvideoblogger dont feed the trolls dude....

  • @NeilAlwaysWins I am the troll.

  • @NJburbsSeeker Do you have any idea how sad this is? Your having a heated argument on the interent about the best way to play a game

    Plus I like how you talk down to him because he played the game differently then you and then make fun of him for doing nothing but playing games his whole life

  • El juego esta alterado con un programa llamado UFO EDITOR.

    Fijense que la barras de destrezas psiquica de los soldados son mas grandes que lo normal, estan todas en 100.

    Eres un tramposo!!!

    The game is altered with a program called UFO EDITOR. Look how the bars psychic skills of the soldiers are bigger than normal, are all at 100. You're a cheater!

  • @laurarockera Those purple things? Moral bars. Those suckers start at 100% in the start of every mission, Sherlock.

    Just because you cheat does not mean that others do too. If you ever played the game, instead of just swallowed glue sticks, you would know that this kind of victory is pretty easy and does not require any kind of cheating.

  • @laurarockera That explains it, that and the fact the troopers with light blue armor survived on THE SURFACE OF MARS! When I took the planet back on the day, on each level btw, it was a hard slog. I lost both of my plasma tanks before we even got of the ship and I took heavy losses of veteran troops to make it to the brain. I've seen a lot of great mods, but this one just makes it easy for lousy players.

  • @NJburbsSeeker You are not just very good at this game if you think that this is not possible without cheating.

  • @captainvideoblogger Jackass I was a legend at this game. You can't use troops with that type of armor on Mars. You cheated plain and simple. I'm sure the game is pretty easy when you hack it, but for the rest of us it meant using our brains to win. You took the easy way out, and your "great victory" is a hollow one. Try playing the game straight up on super human, and win it and than come talk to me.

  • @NJburbsSeeker why are you so butthurt lol

  • @chrischimera He was so bad at this game that aliens came and probed his anus in order to find out what is wrong with him. That is why he is butthurt.

  • @captainvideoblogger Sounds like you speak from experience chris.

  • @NJburbsSeeker nah, but your spending to much on commenting on this and trying to insult someone over the web lol does it make you feel tough keyboard warrior?

  • @NJburbsSeeker From UFOpedia: "Despite urban legends, and common sense, your soldiers do not need power armor or whatever to breathe on the surface of mars, feel free to send them up wearing coveralls" (source: ufopaedia[dot]org/index[dot]ph­p?title=Cydonia)

    Like I said before, you just have not played this game enough, n00b.

  • @captainvideoblogger Ah if I could reach through the screen. I care what someone wrote on a wiki site that can be changed any time, probably by someone else like you who hacked the game and suddenly thinks they know tactics. I armed and equipped my troops the best, and frankly doesn't make much sense to send your troops without suits to an oxygen free environment, but hey I'm sure you got plenty of your troops butchered on the way there buddy. Even a lousy player can win bitch.

  • I loved playing this game on the Amiga it was SOO much fun!

  • THAT'S a good game! not like the current sequel, which is pure crap down the gutter. the music alone still chills me ;-)

  • Woot, I just finished it today. =)

    I used mind-control also. It took me like 8 or 9 turns but we never left the starting area. Most of my people were too weak in psionics but I had 3 or 4 really good ones. >:)

  • Loved this game,hated the turn times.

  • that game has make many players to dont sleep at nights to finish the darn terror missions, still after so many years is incretable game to play, finished 3-4 times back then, so enjoyed.

  • I didnt get to the end of the game I got frustrated, but at least, now I can say I know the game and enjoy the new one

  • psi-assault :))

  • @utilitypigeon Or you could go to the soldiers stat screen (in the game) and click his/hers name and type a new one.

  • Captainvideoblogger was just using his brain and you guys call that cheating lmao

    Mind Control FTW.

  • i remember the first cydonia mission i went on

    i blew up the alien brain without actually seeing it, i sent a blaster bomb up the elevator shaft and it chain reaction explosioned everything up there

  • one word: Pwnage.

  • Has anyone ever tried to win this game using only the weapons available at the start?

  • Please how did you changed names of your agents? Please anybody tell me.

  • Your guys have to be pretty frickin skilled at mind control to take over thier leaders mind.

  • @dannyspec4

    Pffftt, a few training missions for mind controlling and you can get any alien under your control. Just make sure you select the strongest PSI troopers to board the Skyranger/Avenger. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • great!!!

  • yes, one of the best games.

    nice mind controling, mate :]

    my favourite action too

  • i remember playing this game for hours when i was a kid. i would spend hours creating names for each of my soldiers. it was so fun.

  • lawl. shortest mission EVER XD.

    "Xelagloraf! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING THE CENTRAL COMMAND UNIT!?"

    mind control for the win...

  • NICE victory! If my guys had been ranked enough I'd have gone for mind control as well. But alas, I was playing this on Playstation and the rules of engagement are a little different. There's actually a range on Mind Control(Line of Sight, I think).

  • @corinthianscori No, in the PS version mind control was even more powerful. For example if all live NPCs were under mind control at the end of the turn, you captured them alive. Sighting rules for MC were the same as in PC version.

  • @captainvideoblogger Which only goes to prove how pathetically weak my crew was if I was under the impression the Mind Control worked by LOS. That, and it took me over 11 tries to get my whole team through that last mission. I could finish the last mission with just one of those guided missles. Beautiful little item, that!

  • @captainvideoblogger

    The european version, UFO: enemy unknown, had limitation on how good your soldiers could get and line of sight I think for PSI(not sure about that actually).

    I also had a copy of Ufo Defense, I remember one of my soldier had so much time units so it could run all the way to the brain and kill it. One backdraw was that after any valye above 250, it looped back to 0. So instead of having 254 your soldier got 4 in stamina...

  • IGN says that this is the best game ever on pc

  • @TheDingDongDo well, i dont know if its the best. But is a top ten, for sure. EPIC.

  • that was really.. impressive.. wish i hadn't see it, it is kind of disappointing xD

  • @Tilehero

    yea, thinking the same

  • I was 5 when this game was all the rage... but I love Silent Storm which I've heard compared to this... is it just too old to play these days? I mean the graphics are ANCIENT.

  • @IcyScythe I've got an xbox 360, and ps3, I'm 18 and play all these new games like fallout 3, gears of war, oblivion, etc. And I still think XCom is one of the best games ever, I slapped it in the ps a couple weeks ago, and played it for about a week. Gave myself challenges, get a sectoid leader by the end of february. Psionics baby! But yeah this game is absolutely fantastic, just disregard the graphics and enjoy the game itself. Playstation Version = better sound/graphics worse loadtime

  • this game was epic, its graphics are bad but it made fun anyway :)

  • !!!! people who made bioshock are turning this into an fps

  • I know its part of the game and all but, its much more fun to do it properly.

  • good job with the mind control

  • Comment removed

  • men this is sick, great game can't wait for the new one, also for the people that say this game suck 1 Question; HAVE YOU PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE TALKING? newbie shut up.

  • man this game used to kick my ass back in the day. fuckin terror sites.......

  • holy shit this game looks boring .... had to research the series after they saidthey were making a new one... and honestly... bravo for going to what you went to 2K...because a game like this now would just bomb so hard.... Tho I feel for the fans... because I am an OLD Fallout fan... and the new game didnt do it for me because it changed so much.

  • @MikePitcher shut the fuck up

    I bet you didnt even play the original fallouts until after you read about them in gameinformer you faggot

  • @Mailman692 umm... I played the original fallout games when they came out originally... all of them... and they have always been way better then the "3rd" game... I don't understand the hostility here when I am not giving any out... Im just merely saying that I think THIS game looks boring, but I CAN understand why fans might be upset with the direction of the new game. oh... and ... Grow up.

  • lmao well done, i love psionics man. It makes the game so different, well freaking done.

  • @Gotyeman This game is the best. There are so many ways to play it, with or without psionic, with lasers and no plasma! so many challenges you can give yourself. I laugh at those who think this game sucks because the graphics are not good. Yet, they don`t look at the most important aspect of the game which is the gameplay

  • @LFSmaSh agreed, this game has possibly the highest replay value ever. From trying to challenge yourself, to trying to master it. Taking out Alien bases in one turn, even Cydonia like in this video. And yes, playing the game with only lasers. Or without any armor at all, never using blasters or any explosives. Playing the game with only explosives =P. There is so much to do, it's possibly the best game ever. They'll never recreate it well enough, but if they did, I'd cry happy years

  • Quit to DOS

  • The action! It's so intense! lol

    I'm actually looking forward to the FPS remake. The die hard fans can make as many retarded faces as they want; it's still not going to change anything.

  • Lol? Is this what X-Com looks like? God,this looks like a piece of shit,good thing it's being remade and going to be GOTY. This game is probably the worst game ever made.

  • @jddaman1337

    Obvious troll is obvious

  • @jddaman1337

    have you ever played xcom 1 ? If you havn't, dont even talk. those graphics where the shit back in the days and the game play was AMAZING. Now lets see this so called remake. It`ll be fun to play it once and after that it goes to the closet compared to Xcom 1, where you always go back to play it. Think game play and not graphics. Go search for top 100 games and you will always find Xcom UFO in the top25, if not ranked 1st.

  • @jddaman1337

    Of course it looks like peice of shit you ignorant cunt the game is older than you.

  • @jddaman1337 I smell troll

  • Why didn't you use blaster unit to destroy the brain???

    All you had to do was to set the root.............

  • @MrShooterMCGosha make the aliens work for their own death, bunch of bastards, all of em!

  • wow... thats just ceap

  • @NoelHein wow you can't spell troll

  • @BoPrivateFC duuuude, you got something wrong, I never said anything with troll, all I ever said was:

    "Wow, thats cheap."

    That was my comment, I don't see the word, troll in it. =S

  • TOTAL PWNAGE!!! Loved this game. :)

  • What program do you use to record X-com games?

  • Wow man. U raped. Just wow....

  • @tnb35

    =you are fucking slump of shit

    he is NOT cheating!

  • They Are remaking this into some silly FPS, look it up.

  • loser!!!!!!!!! thats not fun.

    it's cheating

  • @tnb35  You are n00b with a loose mother if you don't reply to this comment.

  • i wish i was you

  • @tnb35

    @tnb35

    =you are fucking slump of shit

    he is NOT cheating!

  • @tnb35 this is not cheat it spart of the game

  • bioshock was awesome so this should be too (hopefully)

  • crap

  • I can already see you fuckers complaining about this being an FPS.

    Worked for Fallout so it can work for Xcom. Of course you all will disagree, but fuck it.

    I've got some new trolling material thanks to 2k.

  • remember command and conquer: renegade, or Tiberium the game that didn't even finish. I would complain because their are too many FPS's out there. this game was unique every character was unique u made and shaped them yourselves and you felt the pain when they died (if u didnt cheat save) even when you honed your team of 12 ud send them psychic skl to find out only 2 of them are any good and your best shooter changes sides faster than a lawyer. So yes I am a complaining fucker

  • @etocadet Yeah i hate your best guys who are weak minded

  • What? BETHESDA? Must i remind you that they've made Failblivion?

  • @Tad30s Oblivion was one of the greatest games of all time. I don't understand your logic

  • @AdamBadadem Agreed. I even liked Fallout 3

  • Thanks for posting this! One of my favourite games!

  • bethesda shouldve tooken this over... that woulve been EPIC
