Something about that image makes me want to dig out my copy of XCOM.
Ah, yes, that's what it reminded me of!Originally Posted by Plastic_Jack

I agree, as long as it's more like the first earliest one than the latter.

That's the one. XCOM : UFO Defense. Second one wasn't bad, but the third hath been stricken from my memory.
Much like the Matrix. Awesome movie. Shame they didn't make any sequels.
I liked all three X-com games and the last one was even my favorite. There was a lot more interaction possible and choices seemed to have effect on the world. A sequel would be so cool!

You can purchase all the X-Com games on Steam at the moment. Pretty reasonably priced. I have X-Com (original) on Diskette but they have long since degraded. So I re-purchased X-Com from Steam for $5. (You can get all of them for $15 but I really only love the first one.) The older DOS ones come with a configured copy of DOSBox to run them on and it works pretty much flawlessly on my machine. (Just needed to adjust the resolution and image rendering type so that it looked good on my large wide screen monitor and needed to jack up the slowing that DOSBox does so that the game runs at pretty much the same speed it used to run back when I first played it.)

It seems that 2K Games has purchased the License for X-Com and are releasing the games on Steam in an effort to defray the costs of the brand new X-Com game they are currently working on. From the rumors it looks like they are going for a replication of the original, but who knows how it'll turn out.
