Where can I find these games? I'd like to download them. I have a workday coming up and I'm all caught up. I used to love playing them when I was younger. Anyone have any ideas or sites?
X-Com:UFO Best game ever. I bought a copy at Target for $5.00 about six years ago. It may be on EBay every once in a while. Since I have a box and manual and 3.5" diskettes, I can tell you that I can download a backup copy every once in a while at www.suprnova.org.
We finally agree on something. Although the graphics are crappy, that game is a ton of fun. Nothing rocks more than the Firestorm, heavy plasma and flying armor. I hate those Chrysalid aliens though. When I first started playing, I'd lose whole teams to those ugly bastards. Still, that was one of the coolest games ever. Rock on!!!!!!
So this thread got me to reminiscing about Defender. I used to love that game (not as much as Galaga)....but the sound effects were cool and you got to blow a lot of stuff up. The only problem I had was when those stupid little red things showed up and moved around spastically all over the screen. That usually meant the end of my quarter. Good memories.
I use to love playing that game(the original XCOM) , but it starting running WAAAY too fast on my new computers so I just threw it away. I wish they made a version that I could run on the new computers.
There are programs to slow down your computer so you can run some of the old games that were not programmed correctly.
DUDE! I just downloaded that game last week after thinking about it randomly for some reason! It loaded ok but the visuals looked like scrambled p*rn so i gave up trying to bootleg it. If you really want to play it though, it's cheap on ebay or something. If you like old school though, I've been on a Duck Hunt craze lately. 8-bit madness!
X-COM is a classic in every sense of the world. There was a huge collection of all the games (like one of those 'battlechests' EA puts out) not too long ago. Great pickup.
