I'm not sure of the reason, it isn't the graphics... I loved that game years ago and now... it just doesn't "do it" for me anymore. Strange but true. Thanks for the review Peter!

Strange but true. Thanks for the review Peter!

It's so perfectly suited to the touch screen, in addition to being one of my favorite games of all time. I would pay any amount of money for x-com on the nintendo DS.

You can get it here: http://www.geocities.jp/menopem/ Regrettably, the site is all in Japanese, but just click the link near the top labeled "DirectX" to download. To make it work: 1. Create a X-Com shotcut on the desktop. 2. Run D3Dwindower. 3. Click the "+" button, locate the xcom shotcut. 4. Click the "Play" button. 5. Double click the X-Com shotcut. There are various options in the program you can play with. I'll fire mine up tonight to see what settings I have on it. Don,

What a great game. Peterb - where did you get that "program that lets you play any directX game in a standard Windows window"? Then I could be playing XCom a lot more! -Don I recently dusted off X-Com and started playing it again. What a great game.

X-com UFO defense costs $46 on half.com It is annoying when you have bought a game more than once and to replace it again would cost more than the first two times combined. Holy-Moly!

Is it actually possible to get ahold of those old games for less than say $5? -Doug I never played the first X-Com, but X-Com terror from the deep took hundreds of my hours from me.
