Message: [QUOTE="NoMention, post: 178977, member: 198353"] X-Com: UFO Defense I've played this numerous times when I was still on my old 486. I then played it on the 1999 "X-Com Collector's Edition" for Windows but that ended up sucking pretty badly on Windows so then I've been playing it through DosBox. If I could only have 1 game ever, it would be this. The replayability is always there as the game is mostly randomized. Sure, you could always approach it with the same strategy (Research Tree, Base Buildups, etc) but the game will always play just differently enough each time through. Unless you save scum your way through it, it ramps up difficulty on the harder settings. You lose your HWP with one shot from a Cyberdisc, OUCH! That favorite soldier that has been growing in stats then gets hit from behind by a hiding Snakeman, OUCH! You can save scum this game to make it easier but to play it as intended continues to be a fun and challenging game even 30 years later. The Firaxis games are fun in a different way but I grew tired of them. Firaxis' X-Com 2 started to hard but then became too easy and felt less open worldly as the orginal. Terror From the Deep? That is a separate love-hate relationship.... [/QUOTE]
