If any game has one thing to call its own its X-com TFTD it has (for the time) the best under water combat which is fun and at times can get anoying when a grenade lands at you mens feet.

The graphics are very basic but it is still very playable for its age. the general gist of this game (for those to young to know any better) is you are the leader of X-com a group that deals with threats from aleins and the like. This game is a TBS game in combat and RTS im the world map. you get to build up your bases on the world map and hire/fire people buy/sell equipment as needed by your people during missions. You also get to resarch new weapons and new tech to help deal with the alien threat.

All i can say is if you are looking for a game to draw you in like the civ games do then this game is the way to go.
