X-com

[Stephen Joseph]

For those that are in their 20s around here, you might remember a sleeper hit that came out in 1993 called UFO: Enemy Unknown aka X-Com UFO defense. I recently came across my old copies and used dosbox to replay them, and holy shit, its still as addictive as it was in 1993. It turns out I'm not alone, and there's still a massive subculture still playing X-Com even today.

 

If you played it, what did you think. If you want to play it, the original game is available as abandonware now.
