Want to play X-Com Terror from the Deep?


Recommended Posts

Or you could go buy UFO: ET from www.matrixgames.com and experience Xcom with an updated graphical engine. Seriously, it's a very nice tribute project, and it's already recreated a few Xcom moments for me.

Steam also has UFO: Afterlight.

They aren't, in any way, the same game. ET is an attempt at recreating Xcom in almost every aspect, including turn based combat, UFOpedia, etc. Afterlight has some of the Xcom spirit, but it's a real time combat game.

RT with pause, though. Just to clarify for those less informed. Autopause can be configured so that it plays round based if that's a preference (personally I hate the autobase and have all options off).

Well, I bought it but it fails to run on my XP machine...it says now loading X-Com etc and then just doesn't do anything. A few people on the official boards have had the same problem. :) It's not Vista coimpatable either, apparently.

 

Sorry to hear that. I thought the x-com games were available from abandonia.com

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

There is a patch/loader somewhere on the net that I downloaded and tried a a few months ago. It works nicely with the Win95 compatible version of Terror from the Deep. I can't say if it does the same for the Steam download version. Otherwise, try giving Dosbox (maybe with a graphical frontend like DFend for ease of use) a try. I'm having a blast these days running X-Com 3 on that :lol:
