The good ol' days

Anyone remember UFO? Excellent game, very old though.

I've not seen any games in a similar vein in ages, all strategy has gone either rts, iow C&C clones, or stayed rigidly to the old turn based systems.

Anyone got info?

nesf, get X-com Apocalypse. The last of the ufo style games in the series. It is *excellent*...

ah, I used to play UFO on the amiga. Can't get the PC one to work, and if it does, it runs waaaaay too fast. Need something like Moslo.

ah well.

Playing it at the moment LoLth, excellent game Luckily I got an ancient 486 hanging around for all those nostalgic trips back to UFO, Panzer General and other such

Can't configure my soundcard for XCOM apoc though damn gremlins!

Blitzkrieger

Actually the latest game in the mold is Fallout : Tactics. It's basically an Apocalypse clone with the option of real-time and turn-based combat.

Am, hate to be a smartass, but, apocalyse has that option.

So is it identical then?

Blitzkrieger

I know it has that option I have it

It's basically identical but different It's got a different storyline, different weapons, etc. It's supposed to be more challanging than Apocalypse
