i tried to play on pc but cant no sound etc tried dosbox didnt work played this when i had a 454mhtz in the 90s wish i can i have all of them few copies of each and cant play lol.
Lol you really exploited the alien inventory bug. Don't worry, I do that plenty of times. Usually I just shoot them with my own guys since it gives them the Firing Accuracy experience but your way works too. Although just as a note, I've noticed that any flying unit has a small chance of seeing through a corner where the roof and the wall meet. They can't shoot them, but mind control sure works fine in that respect. Oh, and there's a whole bunch of exploitable bugs in this game. Ex.: Chryssalids
The replay value of this game is unlimited IMO. You can beat the game and start over and have the same experience no matter how many times you play it.
I was addicted to this game for months on end back in the 90's and i even reinstalled it back in 2007 because it is just an awesome game. Both this and terror from the deep. Its games like this that win over on all the modern console games, simply because no it doesn't have the graphics but it has to replayability. You go out and buy something like moden warfare 2, you complete it in like 4 hours and thats it end of.
this game is awesome. i usually mind control all the aliens, have them all drop their weapons and move them outside. then i have a team with stun rods just stun all the non-soldiers like alien engineer, medic, leader, etc. to unlock the research. u do this on a commander and u get to cydonia
@kng863 Haha me too. I disarm them and have them all enter the alien craft unarmed so that when they try to get out of the alien craft, I can train my guys to do reaction shots. XD
Yea before you go thinking im a fucking weird internet brainwashed freak with too much time you should read up and look into actual real NASA FOOTAGE of UFO's. There are hundreds constantly observing us right above our atmosphere. And they control our nukes. Just watch the vids where aliens disabled a missile launch. Human beings are nothing but a science project and will be replaced just like the dinosaurs, uf u think were not then you are a sheep and I pity you.
@ChimeraProd Tell me about it dude. The government are all aliens too. Infact I'm an alien. Infact we all know who you are and what you know.
It won't be long now... I have a dinosaur as a pet - they were never extinct. The earth is only 3000 years old, the moon is hollow and I'm going to eat you brain.
You should not and will not put Aliens in the same category as dinosaurs and a hollowed earth. Heyy didn't you even watch the new Steven Hawking thing on aliens? The smartest people on earth are FUCKING saying aliens are REAL and that they are HOSTILE. You need to grow the hell up and stop being a delusional, uninformed sheep who sits online all day not knowing whats true. Our DNA was altered by grey aliens and it is a fact, live with it FAGGOT and GET OUT MORE......ALL OF YOU!!!!
Fucking stupid sheep I really hope you get a flue vaccine and die a horrible slow death for contributing to the downfall of humanity. Most people seem to be as dumb as you and it fucking pisses me off, ALIENS ARE REAL AND THEY ARE HERE U FUCKING STUPID FAGGOT
The average american is not fat LoL, just look at our president. Its all jacked up niggers and crazy spicks. You can honestly get the fuck off your ipad now since you have no concept of reality and you think everything is a joke. There are inter-dimensional beings that are controlling our evolution and if you don't believe it then its time to gtfo of your moms basement.
@ChimeraProd I don't have an ipad chubby & what evidence of these inter-dimentional beings do you have other than theory? No-one knows the true nature of reality so stop believing everything you read.
I guess since you do nothing and watch family guy all day you have a bad opinion about Americans. I probably hate fat people more than you do, so stop thinking your cool by calling people fat. You are the faggot here thinking we are alone in the universe so go to sleep since you have church in the morning you uninformed terrorist.
@ChimeraProd Hahaha - terrorist WTF? I've never been to chunch in my life asshole & I don't hate fat people. I thought your government were the terrorists? Didn't they like blow up their own WTC?
I keep an open mind as to whether we are alone or not. I'm not uninformed - I just don't go committing myself to anything.
this is the best game ever! we played it with friend dozen of times in 90s on my pc. superb idea, gameplay. it's pity that this series dies with x-com - apocalypse. all other successors suck (x-com interceptor, x-com enforcer). i am not sure why did they bury such a GAME!
@JSHADOWM It gets better, Firaxis is making an X-Com turn-based tactical game set in 2015. It is going to be excellent. They even have the same guy doing the sound for this game that did the sound for the '93 original.
I've been playing this again on my PC. I think I just need to interrogate a leader to find Mars and build the Ultimate Craft and I'm set to fuck up the Alien race! I'm much more strategic playing it now than when I played it in the 90's - I'll have to try a harder difficulty next time. It's September in the the first year (1999) and I have like $23 000 000 000 (ya million)!
i picked the 5pack up yesterday... Zing they Auto-dosbox ported it.. i dont even have dos box, but they all work.. no FPS problems either.. smooth oldschool gaming..
why do you have such a large team? they don't even have flying suits on all of them..
i usually just go with 6-7 soldiers and they level up faster, oh and in the beginning i pick newbies who have the highest accuracy, that way their accuracy grows even bigger later
I agree with having a couple of decent guys. I like to pick them with all with 60 Bravery so they are better at invading alien bases later on in the game. Use the rest of the guys as scouts/cannon fodder who just get shot.
This game is so great because of the depth of gameplay. It isn't just about wasting aliens...you really have to put some thought into the administrative aspect. Although killing aliens is quite fun, especially when you get hold of the fusion ball launcher and adopt the ever fulfulling 'scorched earth' tactic. Say 'buh-bye' you cursed Etherals!!
I don't understand how it is fun to play that way. It is impossible to lose. Additionally, it creates a pseudo victory for you, because none of the missions are genuine.
Yeah, that's true, however most of the time I never had to restart. I only did that really for the first time because I wanted to see the end of the game. I agree it is more fun when you don't do that.
The game play is a kind of wreckless. You don't look around corners or check areas. When you took control of the alien, you did not bother simply looking around to have full view inside the craft. This puzzles me. Were you just messing around or really playing?
Haha... Good catch. I save every mission right before I start it just in case I find anything cool or in case I wipe out and need to restart. This time I just happened to find out that all 3 aliens were in the ship at the same time. So when this was recorded it was the 3rd or 4th time I played the scenario.
google it and you should find it. Its supposed to be an 'abandonware' but i dont know if its fully legal to dl it.You might also need dos box (dos emulator) to play it if the game doesnt run properly or too fast.
thanks. I already found it few weeks ago with proper exe for XP. But I can't remember where I got it from (honestly). I started yesterday. And still this game outshines many of modern games of this genre.
