it's amazing how clunky the weapon loadout screen was; you had to micro-manage for every one of your players, including putting grenades in their hands; no pc intuition here
@DarkMandrill ; i'll wait and see; i have a bad feeling about it; xcom was an awesome pc game; i trust pc's for deep, tactical games like this where a keyboard and mouse are perfect for controlling the action; i let consoles do the work when it comes to FPS and other shooter-type games like resident evil
those aren't aliens attacking the earth... those are 0bamabots/liberals lead by their Marxist leader 0bama. he wants to spread communism all across the planet which will ruin it
and force all the inhabitants to have gay sex with arab children
UFO and remote mind reading/manipulation technology was developed by the nazis by the end of WW2 without any alien help. : there is an extreme criminal orgonizaiton working withing high ranks of the US military waging psychological against the general population pretending to be extradimensional aliens and/or angelic and demonic forces often using holograms.
I remember later in the game being really shocked when one of my guys got mind controlled as we were exiting the ship and he used a grenade inside the hold *sigh* GREAT GAME!
i notice the sound is way different than dosbox version on steam, i know of the xcom utility that you can change sounds but music or quality was not as good as PSX version
The psx version was better than the PC in terms of graphics and music. The cons were the insane loading times. Saving the game on the memory card required as many as 10 slots. If anyone remembers, the psx memory cards had a max of 15 slots. There were one or two extra ufo's to explore. Plus there were terrain that wasn't available on the pc version. Because the gameplay was slower, every move counted much more on the psx version.
@Smegma007 hmmm the moves are almost too slow on pc for me (lvl2 on terrain moves double slow for me)... having this on psp would be really cool though.
i loved this got damn game. my shit was always fucking up. it was even creepy to me...those damn fuckers hide in places you can't see...then all of a sudden you see this HUGE GARGANTUAN disappear around a corner. then you're like shit...all i have are these level on lasers.
...and you know your ass is not going to make it make on board because half your crew is going mad or mind controlled.
This game is in my personal top 10 list. And i've been playing videogames for 25 years, on pc and consoles as well.
This game is greatly overlooked. It deserves a golden spot near more commonly recognized classics like FFVII, Zelda OOT, Super Mario 3, Monkey Island, Kotor and the likes.
ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN GET THE MOUSE TO WORK!? i cant click anything :( only can do x o triangle square, the arrows analog and Ls Rs... can anyone help me get the mouse working?
I'm playing this on PC but it's frustrating because when I'm playing a mission the scroll speed is way too fast. Even when I change the scroll speed in the options it doesn't slow it down. It's killing the game for me.
@VampolkaXL There are in-game options to lower the scroll speed, if that doesn't help, and it probably won't. Play the game using DOSBox. You can also buy it on Steam to save yourself the trouble of setting up the emulator yourself.
hey, yeah the same exact thing happened to me, i tried to change it in the options but it was still extremely fast, i own it on both systems, PC and Playstation, Playstation is definitly wayyy more fun, but yeah, i just un-installed the game and re-installed it, and it magically would change scroll speeds again, so i guess if you're willing to give up your data for a different scroll speed, go for it haha, if you dnt wanna take that chance, then i suppose try and get used to it hah
This looks sooo complicated. I'm sure it isn't once you get the hang of it but this is one of those games I wouldn't even bother showing non-gamer friends. It looks too hardcore.
I remember that I bought this game when I was 14; would waste a completly good day playing this game. One second it was light outside...then BOOM: its night! I also remember that at certain times if I was playing this game in the dark I would actually get chills...haha
I play x-com since im 14 ,now im 27. Its the best game ever made .The Ps1 version is awsome in compairing with the dos, amiga and CD32 version ,just the loading time is so lame . i never found good working emulator for pc ,i wish there is ,maybe some one know one? i have the game original but disc looks like an iceskatingplace.
About playing ,buy only automatic gun with explosiv ammo and normal ammo for indoor! and throw granades to other soilder ,and pick up and trow again -save timeunits ...
I played the Game called in Europe "UFO: Enemy Unknown" from 1993 till TODAY! Its the same and was published first on Amiga with two different titles. "UFO: Enemy Unknown" and "X-COM: UFO Defense". Thats one of my ALLTIME favorite games and I played through it more than a round dozen time till now ...
@Prize5 this was one of the first psx games I got back in the day and I loved it. it was really scary playing it as a kid with the music that created great ambience. for once the console version of a pc game was almost better. the only thing that wasnt better was having to use a controller since mouse control with this game makes it infinitely quicker/easier
ha, it's classic to watch a team of cherries go out and they can't hit the side of a barn; it takes a while to get a good squad going

If you are playing on dosbox, which you probably are, reduce the cpu cycles to dosbox. Ctrl+F11 in game.
