You'll have to excuse me as the point of this thread is to DISCUSS the game, not a beacon for fans of a game.

I was expressing my opinion, and no matter how reserved you are that was rude.

The reason I didn't like X-Com is because it was slow and unbalanced. I had played Jagged Alliance, Fallout Tactics, and many other tactical games, but X-Com lacked a constant reason for you to keep playing.

Really? I thought the Fallout Tactics was one game that was really unbalanced (kinda hard in the beginning and very easy later on) as well as very slow (when fighting beast lords).

Still, I loved the game because of the graphics

Hmm I like playing X-COM because it's a different challenge each time.

Fallout Tactics is brilliant, but Christian is right, it isn't very balanced. Jagged Alliance is the same, starting very easy and getting murderously difficult...

I like the pace of FT though.

Hey guys stop bickering, Jagged alliance, Fallout tactics and UFO are all great games. And they are all unbalanced. I mean, a simple computer limited A.I? against smart guys like us ?

[PrejudiceSucks]

What about smart gals :P

I researched hard but never could find any. Probably that same tech bug as in X-Com :evil:

I do appologise if this has been asked and answered somewhere else in this quite large thread,

But how do you play this game on a LCD screen?
:help:

A black screen with "Input not Supported" is not how I remember the graphics of this classic.

Starting the program in windowed mode might do the trick but how would one do that?

Care to run a search in Troubleshooting section?

I've just got a hold of an old PS1 version of this game, as well as down loading it from here.

Back in '95 I played this game to death and I spent 8 months on one game, making sure each and every one of my squad members was a PSI expert. Went up to Mars without any weapons and won in two turns with mind control only.

This IS the best game ever

Hi guys, I played this game since it came out on DOS and I was really happy to see it here, so I downloaded it, everything is running smooth, but I notice that for some reason the game's screen is cut at the top and the bottom, for once when im in Geoscape view the button that sais *intercept* is cut off, so I can't press it... Is there anyway for me to change the game's resolution or something? I'm really looking forward to play.
