X-COM: UFO Defense (CD-ROM) - PC  X-COM: UFO Defense (CD-ROM)
Game Description:A CD-ROM re-release (for Windows 95 machines)
of the classic game by Microprose. X-COM: UFO Defense holds a
fond place in any true PC gamer's heart. This squad-based
strategy title was awesome for so many reasons. It was
incredibly in-depth for its time (even more so than most games
today), its slowly unfolding storyline gave you the sense that
you were up against overwhelming odds without ever being
frustrating, and the individual battles -- in part because of
the game's turn based engine -- served up a tension and suspense
that we've experienced in no game since (there's nothing quite
like the feeling of opening a door and seeing an alien just as
your movement points run out). All this and the ability to
rename all of your squad-mates as you real-life friends so you
can cry (or laugh) when they get caught in a grenade blast makes
X-COM a game that will live on in the annals of computer gaming
history. G4TV Rating   • Avg User Rat
