It was strongly influenced by the "UFO" TV show, so it'd be perfect for RPG treatmentHow many of ya back in the day got the creeps fighting those gawd DAMN chrysalids in the dark city areas, eh? hehe <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Hated those buggers, before you knew it half yer squads infected and zombies are everywhereOr swore out loud in RL as you heard the unmistakable sound of a blaster bomb being launched, yer jaw dropping as the blue trialof death flew across the screen and you knew all your carefully hoarded/trained squad was gonna get vapourized? (was a great weapon in game, "smart" wepaon, you could set way points for the mini-nuke missile to fly along)so much could be done with that game, -more espionage (spy on corrupt/taken over politicians, sue funds ot set up surveillance like ECHELON etc)-make your bases in 3D (build sentry guns etc to defend 'em) -more stuff with your squad members like a video clip of them as a perosnal profile so they mean more ot you-could make it have DLC, each part of the game is one country or region, with their soldiers/special forces/agents, ie, USA/Canada/Mexico, EU, Russia, China etc-Will you rescue citizens at "terror sites" and perhaps gain valuable info, or vape them to stop spread of alien infectors (is your team bloodthirsty or more humanitarian? have "morals" and "persuasion/psychology" as a "stat"?) etc etc <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
