X-COM: UFO Defense

After experiencing the new 'version' of this classic masterpiece I've come back to X-Com. It has YET to be improved upon

I just finished uninstalling UFO Extraterrestrials. Yes, it's not a typo. I [uninstalled the new, supposedly better remake. Which drove me to come back and blurb a bit on this, my favorite X-Com version.

The newer version (UFO Extraterrestrials) just doesn't give me the feel that X-Com used to give me and still does!

I enjoyed 'UFO Extraterrestrials' for a while, but I find that many of the things that made X-com great are missing in the 'remake'. X-com is the type of game that you play in the dark, with headphones at 3 AM! In spite of the dated graphics, this is still a favorite all time masterpiece that no one that is into UFOs or strategy games should ever miss!
