[QUOTE="The Edge, post: 2973831, member: 33507"] My brother got an 'X-Com Gold' pack or something like that for cristmas long ago, had 5 games. UFO, Terror from the Deep, Apocalypse, Interceptor, and some X-Com email thing which never worked. Should have played them more while they still agreed with our computer. Now they don't seem to agree with the hardware or windows. (prob both) I hated the etherials in UFO Deffense, they drove me nuts. My worst mission ever. A tiny UFO comes past, shoot it down no problem, same as always. But upon investigating...oh dear. :( Someone went nuts while still in the landing craft, happend to be the one with the lovely new alein missile thing (the blaster your mentioning?), blew away all but two men. One of the two survivers gets shot, just like that. The other goes insane and runs into the hills. Over before a full turn had passed. *sigh* But I had plenty of vengance in Apocalypse. From reviews I've found it seems no one really liked the real time option, am I safe guessing the same for people here? But for me Apoc was the first I played, and I choose real time and practicaly never touched turn based. Maybe I should have. What I loved to do was to set up a line of agents out side a building, all dual weilding auto cannons full of incendinary amunition. Then, just set them on autofire, and hold the force fire button all over the enemys location. Hit the exits first, then rain fire on the rest of it. The whole place would be ablaze in seconds. :] (didn't save after this because of the horrific compensation I would have to pay. Just for laughs when the aliens have been irritateing.) I guess thats something you couldn't really do in turn based. [/QUOTE]
