I know this will sound strange to all you folk raring up to play this tournament, but I, who really has a love for the oldies of games, never got my head wrapped around this one. I have tried playing it, but the interface confused me, and I could barely get the hang of moving my soldiers, let alone fighting with them. Maybe I am not cut out for the turn based genre. It's not that I am a perpetual speed monkey, goodness no. I can while away an hour or two playing Rogue, Text graphics and all. I enjoy monkey island, and Leisure Suit Larry. Myst is a game I love almost every part of. So why can't I get X-Com?
Edit: And it is not as if I am a complete louse at turn based games. I enjoyed Mission Force Cyberstorm by Sierra.

X-Com might be complex at first. But once you get used to it, it's a breeze.

Huh?! YOu move them by pointing and clicking where you want them to go. You fight with them by selecting their weapon, type of fire and then click on where you want to fire while the X mark is on. and they will shoot. what is there to know?!

Well as a matter a fact I felt almost embarraced for the simple thing that was wrong but I guess it is forgivable cause I was quite tired and so I missed it. The only thing that I had wrong was the path for cd drive and it would seeme that UFO gets it´s sound from there or at least the cd version, I can not figure anything else that was wrong that would have caused the problem cause I did everything else right and I had the game running well, it ismply did nit have any sound whitch is odd cause I would imagine that a problem like that would have maybe an affect on music but I lost both sound and music so there might have been something else also. Well anyway the best recomendation:
If you experience running a game via DOS Box then simply start from scrach by instlling everything over again and make sure that you follow every neccesary step precisely and you should have no problems...

Hey one question still guys! What version of DOS UFO Defense do you have uploaded here is it the very first and original?

[The Fifth Horseman]

We've got both DOS and Windows versions.
Of course, as long as the FTP is down, neither download works.

[Zomby]

Yeah, but what was the number of the DOS version that I downloaded? 1.00 or is it pached alterd or updated in any way? And same question about the windows version, just how much is the windows version altered when it comes to gameplay?

[The Fifth Horseman]

I believe it needs a patch.
The Windows version has some patches, but apparently the last ones were only for DOS.
