X-COM ; Extra-Terrestrial Combat aka UFO: Enemy Unknown

This is THE MOST DEFINITIVE Game of the 1990s; a world where X-files and Navy Seals merged into an Ultra Elite unit called the X-COM.

Their purpose: Defend Earth from Space-Going Aliens.

Fox Mulder will get his wet dream splattered all over his Playboys ( if he has)
 IT IS REAL! 
( In this game)

 This is the opening scene of "UFO: Enemy Unknown"

In coming months, the updated X-COM will get a Face Lift !

Welcome back !
Veterans of X-COM !






Guess who is Back too !



This game back then in the 1990s has captured the imaginations of people. 
It has aliens of every imaginable kind.

The famous Grays known as the "Sectoids".

The eerie, spine tingling "Floaters".
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The "Snakemen"
 
The Chryssalid
(Its equivalent; The Genestealers of WH40k Universe)
Don't they resemble each other ?

The gameplay is a mix of research of capture alien techs, Close-Quarter combat and aerial air to air interception of UFOs. 

Ultimately the Earthlings cannot afford a Long Drawn Conflict with the Space Aliens.

There will be a showdown at the Aliens' Lair in Cydonia, Mars
Yes, it exists.


Did I mentioned CQB ?
CQB is also the name of the game in "Space Hulk".

It is a CQB fan wet dream 
and an Open Air Warfare specialist nightmare.


That will be the next subject :)
