1: I know I have to find a leader of some sort in one of the alien bases to know where on mars they have there HQ, but how do I know witch Alien is the Commander/Leader???[/b]

Using a mind probe. You get it from the aliens and can equip it once you research it.

2: Is there a newer version of this game???[/b]

That's because you probably tried to start a new topic in "Games Discussion". This section is exclusevly for games that are on Abandonia. What you want is to open a topic in "Requests".

thx m8... but nvm now, it seems that the game that I was looking for is still being sold... so I cant download it.. and that makes my heart very sad

[Mighty Midget]

Sad enough to buy the game?

[Blake]

well I really really want this game... but I dont know if I can trust a site that I dont know.. and I dont know if they can ship the game to Denmark.. and it would be very sad to use a lot of money if the game wont work.

The music works for me choosing Adlib/Sound Blaster FM. I think the sound channels are just how many sounds can be reproduced at the same time, the more channels the more processing power or memory, I chose the maximum.

Sorry, I can't help you with the first question, but for the latter two, head over to HotU and grab the collector's edition of the game, which is fully Windows compatible. I'm running it on Windows ME, and it works fine. If you're running XP, make sure you run xcom1fix.exe or the graphics will be garbled. Good luck!
