So X-com UFO Defense is only $2.50 on Direct2Drive.com. Is it a good game? I'm looking for personal opions of the game.

Dude don't get it before downloadin the game an see if it's going to work on your OS.

get it from any game graveyard and chick before paying...then buy it.

If it didn't work at first try running it with a dos-box.

It will work on any OS with dos-box. As fantastic as the game is, it might be a bit hard to get into after all these years.

YES! However it has quite a learning curve which is great because it is something you don't see much of today.

It's still the best game ever made IMO. I play it on a regular basic.

The game works perfectly on XP, it already comes as a DOS-box executable, or whatever.

I'm sorry, I don't want to sound offensive but I have no other way to react to that question.

I"m assuming that the X-Com bundle on D2D works perfectly in Windows. I once tried the X-com 1 windows version some years back and it would hang so often w/c is making me apprehensive of getting the bundle. It's so tempting though! I remember spending entire weekends just playing these games!
