After a bit of boring work getting some of our pool stuff squared away, I took to the internet and one of my favorite sites, Abandonia.com, to get some of my old favorite PC games on the new computer. I imported some pretty decent stuff, including civilization II, and my favorite game of all time, X-COM: UFO Defence. When games and nostalgia meet it is very cool. I have begun killing sectoids with infinite rage...
I tried my hand at the classic Civilization II, electing to play as the Aztecs and revive a lost empire. I was doing well, until the Ghengis Khan invaded...
THEY'RE ALL WASTED!!!
If you've never played X-COM aka UFO: Enemy Unknown to the brits, then first.... WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIfE?!?!? Second, you can get it free from Abandonia.com, just look at the most popular... it's at the top.
Gamespot's own review of X-COM. A short and sweet read: X-COM Review
"If you call yourself a gamer but don't own X-COM, your collection has a more glaring gap than Ernest Borgnine's smile. Put simply, X-COM is a bona fide modern classic, standing proudly alongside Civilization and Populous as a benchmark in the evolution of strategy gaming."
