X-Com/UFO AI - cal823 - 11-14-2008
Any of you played any of these games? they are really good.
I have played UFO AI, which i think is still being made (its freeware, and you can play it, but it is imcomplete, but it really rules)
The sheer amount of backstory and info and detail put into the info sections for each research/weapon/etc is awesome, wish FL had that kinda amount of story in them.

Loved X-Com, but I've never heard of UFO AI... What is it?
X-Com/UFO AI - cal823 - 11-15-2008
UFO AI is a freeware game with better graphics than the old X-Com, and a similar playstyle and the same "build base, send dropships full of men to investigate alien attacks, pew pew aliens, come back with bodies and technology for autopsy/research formula.. The graphics are in isometric 3d for the battles, with the same old world geoscape. Despite its awesomeness, it is unfinished (atm when you play it the alien encounters and ufos stop spawning, the researchs drop of, and some items say "unfinished" in their description after you reach a certain point in the game)
it is alot of fun tho

That does sound fun, just an upgraded X-COM then.. Any idea when it will be finished?
X-Com/UFO AI - cal823 - 11-15-2008
no idea. it is playable in the unfinished version. Being a freeware game its finishing wont be quick (due to the large amount of stuff they have to write and research partly)

Yeah, I played and still own all the Xcom games. UFO: Enemy Unknown (or XCOM: UFO Defence as it was called in the USA, I think) still ranks as one of my all-time favourite games.

X Com ruled.

Xcom was my most played game on the original playstation and I bought the mouse for that one I've played the PC version as well of course but the Console one had some extra stuff and better graphics (Hovertanks).
It's amazing how old it is and there is still no real successor to the amount of strategy it had I'd have to rank it the best strategy/management game made.
It really does need a modern version in my opinion.

Yep, i still play Xcom to this day on the PC...
Although this looks interesting! Nice find...
