X-com ufo game download

NOTE: This game can be played in Windows directly using a third-party engine recreation see the links section below. Command deadly close-combat battles Shooting down UFOs is just the beginning; you must then lead a squad of heavily-armed soldiers across different terrains as they investigate the UFO crash site.

Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons or life forms. Research and manufacture alien technologies Successful ground assault missions will allow X-COM scientists to analyse alien items.

Being that I'm fairly new to dosbox, playing a new game is always quite the trip for me. I downloaded this file and extracted it to my c drive using winrar. I'm sure I'm doing several thing incorrectly, but im really lost right now. FA -1 point DOS version. El 1 point DOS version. Adding my voice to the chorus, one of the best games ever made even though we all know the real aliens are just the US Air Force in disguise Along with Jagged Alliance 2, one of the best and most addictive turn-based tactical game ever made.

The current incarnation by Firaxis have brilliant Unreal Engine graphics, but could not match the depth and game play of this game. Having played this, the Firaxis game is very limited and frustrating.

For the real afficionados you can try OpenXCom in sourceforge. Doxologist -1 point DOS version. I loaded this up when it came out, tried it, didn't really "get" it, closed it. Never looked back. AwesomeGamer 0 point DOS version. This may sound stupid but which file should I open in DOSbox to start the game?

I've tried a few but they don't initiate the game. Hal 0 point DOS version. Ok it seems dosbox 0. Saddly the link here only provide the floppy v1. The game works fine, i have played like 5 hours, and now, every new same game i try to make is corrupt when i try to load it, the game freeze and nothing happend.

Any idea on how to fix this issue? Jorgusson 0 point DOS version. Mangler 0 point DOS version. Absolutely hands down the best game ever! The new one is ok but nothing will ever be better than this Luk 0 point DOS version. I forgot to mention that you have to capture a leader, so research on him; then do research on mars solution or something like that.

The game says that commanders reside only in alien bases, but that isn't entirely true. I have captured a commander on a battleship. I wouldn't have known what it was beforehand except that I was using the mind tool to discover what each alien was before attacking it.

When I saw it, I was surprised. The game tries to fool you by having the commander standing outside where it will be one of the first aliens contacted. Don't worry about losing a couple of soldiers in the process, because it makes the game shorter.

Try and isolate the commander, then gang up on him with at least 3 or 4 soldiers with stun rods at the same time. In order to finish the game, you have to capture a commander from a battleship and do research on him, but you have to be sure to do research on all of the other aliens first, not all of the races, just several of the officers, starting with a soldier, then an engineer, then a leader, then a commander.

If you get these out of order, you will be at a dead end. I never could really finish the game. Made research on all aliens, both living and dead commanders too and I still did not have anyt way to finish the game. Is there any way to really finish it? Skylo 0 point DOS version. Awesome game! Stylish graphic and freezing sound efects Kiasu 0 point DOS version.

I played it when it came out, then when I had kids they played it and loved it. It taught them game play wins over flashy graphics. Will there ever be a squad game as good as this again? Branes51 0 point DOS version. This just might be the best computer game ever made although Civilization might share the honors with it. This game however will make you nervous about every single move you make with your men because the enemy might vaporize them at any second.

The sheer horror you feel when you realize your best Sergeant just got taken over by a Chrysalis and now he's killing everyone in the squad can't be equaled by any game I have ever played. To my mind, if you haven't played this game, you can't claim to be a real gamer. It's that good. Goodbrew 1 point DOS version. RE: MD With so many similarities between this game and the real world, it is obvious this game was developed by aliens to fictionalize ideas and turn the idea of aliens into entertainment so nobody would actually believe it!

Many agree that its strategic depth has allowed it to age well. Meanwhile, others believe it can be improved. Open X-Com seeks to do just that in a huge variety of ways. Average Rating: Ratings.
