X-COM: UFO Defense

The OG turn based tactical game. I love the remakes but you have to go back and play this classic once every few years.
God damn it's good!

besto XCOM

This Game was my Childhood. Awesome Memories.

Used to play this game on a friends computer back in the 90's. When I finally got a computer of my own, I acquired a copy of my own and played countless hours. Just reinstalled and played for the first time in over a decade. Lost my first encounter with the greys, but was the first time I had a chance to capture a fully intact UFO. A raging battle ensued, ended up killing 9 Greys in all, but my last soldier was not able to get the last two and died heroically. This game is a blast!

Sinister masterpiece. Never overwhelming but constantly tense. Almost heart attack inducing when you turn a corner in the dark and see a mob of aliens ready to blast you. Definitely get OpenXcom, it remedies the DOSBOX jank.

Total classic. Its a system crusher requiring 2 whole MB of RAM! I remember those days LOL!

creepy fun

One of my old timey all timey favs

Better than any remake. If you can put up with the having to deal with the nitty gritty details it's just amazing.

One of my favourite games back in the day, brutal and unforgiving.

allofit

This game consumed me in college. It's a better game than any game of the era (in my opinion) and many of them that came after. The depth an complexity wasn't rivaled for decades. Graphics... eh, not so much. But use your imagination. Jet packs and blaster launchers ftw!

This is a classic game, highly under rated, lot's of fun to play, build, and strategize. I wish this same edition was made available on Android.

Addicting as hell. Install OpenXcom to significantly improve the experience with its many qol changes and bugfixes, since legacy's version hasn't aged too well, despite still being playable. In any case, a timeless gem.

Greatest game I have ever played.

you bet your ass this game is great

Fun game if your good at strategy games. :)

The original X-Com. What more do I need to say? One of the best games I ever played when I was a teenager.

I have played this game from day one (1994) and I am surprised how well it actually kept up for being a game that is 31 years old.

I played this years ago, a good game I enjoyed it them and enjoying it again now.

I played this game a lot back when my computer was a 486. It was terrifying, but also very, very fun. It's still terrifying, and fun.

Better than X-Com 2.

Simply one of THE best games ever made. My play time here only clocks in at just over 100 hours, but I've owned this on both floppy disk and CD since the 90's, and have played through it on all difficulties countless times over 30-odd years.

It's just the perfect blend of strategy, tension, terror, and alien blasting goodness. The way that all the game's elements are balanced and blended is nothing short of miraculous, and it has one of the most addictive gameplay loops ever, assisted by the fact that very few missions are ever the same. Genius stuff.

I will say that the performance with this version is a bit sluggish, and that one annoyance has always been tracking down any last stray bad guys. But that's it for the nitpicks.

An absolute 10/10 game for me.

An old time classic! One of the best game ever made!

still an excellent game

This is another really oldie but goodie.

i love when my soldier gets reaction fired with armed high ex killing every single one of my units in the sky-ranger. would recommend

Classic. I used to love this game back in high school. Something about the combination of saving the world, small tactical fights, and the general scope of the game always appealed to me.
I plan on doing another play through in the near future, maybe try a harder difficulty or something.

This is the best turn-based strategy game ever made. X-com 1 is totally worth checking out.

Classic game that's still worth playing, a favorite from my childhood

The original and the best.
Though you should definitely use openxcom to play it now.

One of the first two level (tactical and strategic) games. Considering it's almost 20? years old, it's still rather advanced for it's era. Fun 'beer and pretzels' game.

great game for if you like hard

do anything you want and also die trying :)

One of the greatest games of all time! Happy to have finally beat it after all these years.

Even if you`ve never played this before it`s still going to be super fun and If you played it as a early teen like I did, you will still find it fun and challenging. Nostalgia is off the charts with this one. So glad it`s able to run on my modern system. 5 games for like 15 bucks is a no brainer. ENJOY

great

full disclosure, i play openXcom, which you need this for. this is probably one of my favorite games of all time, ive put thousands of hours into this game and mods like X-Piratez, X-com Files (my two favorite mods evur!!!!!!), UNEXCOM, The Great War of the Worlds, and more!!!

This is my favorite PC game ever made. Have been playing it since the early 90's. Random map generator means it never gets old.

I played this game in the 90,s. It is one of the best.

classic, still holds up

Great complex game I played this game as a kid and now enjoying it again. For those who never played, the graphic may looks like a bit old shool. But gameplay and variety of the game is great.

yes

Classic.

Phenomenal game

I got this game when it releashed back in the 199x - and to date i think its one of the fines gameplayes EVER.

and that they made the AI not Cheat(or at least not as blatently as in the new version of this game , but still hard to win, is Fantastic)

An Oldie but a Goodie.

An all time classic. Previously many years ago 100s of hours were lost playing this. Graphics are terrible in today's ray-traced world, but the game play is outstanding and makes up for it once you get into it. It starts off very very tough, expect your soldier losses. But you scrape through to better days when you start to finally give it back to the aliens :)
There are free mods to enhance things if you wish.
