There will be no Mainichi Junk today, as my free computing time has become occupied by defending the Earth from an alien invasion.
As an ardent fan of turn-based strategy and resource management games I can’t believe I’ve overlooked this one for so long. All of the praise it gets is deserved; the dated graphics are soon forgotten as more and more of the elegant game mechanic is revealed. Perhaps the only technological limitation of its age is its dearth of in-game documentation (a lesson Microprose took to heart in MoO2); after an initially steep learning curve I’ve become helplessly addicted. Further rants on this topic may or may not show up here, but rest assured that copious amounts of alien posterior will.
Truly an awesome game.
Though X-COM: Apocalypse is much maligned, I still find it enjoyable even if it doesn’t stand up to the original.
I doubt anyone fixed the X-COM 1 bug where it would hang forever if you set two consecutive waypoints for the blaster launcher in the same square. So don’t do it.
Aha, I’ll keep that in mind. Just about to launch my first assault on an alien base…
Did you find Terror from the Deep to be a worthy sequel? All the online documentation I can find says it’s an exact rehash of the first game, only harder (and the first one is hard enough on “beginner” right now).
One of the best strategy game ever.
Destroying a whole city to kill some aliens had never been so fun – and hasn’t again, since then.
Don’t forget to go for the Laser rifles !
This is the best anime site worldwide. keep up the good work…
by the way,you could update your eroanime archive =)
Yes, TFTD can be skipped unless you’re a bit on the masochistic side, I never did get the willpower to actually finish it all the way through; the legions of lobstermen were just a little bit too much to deal with after a while.
Lobstermen were awesome and nearly impossible to kill. The flying suicide UFO’s made me stop playing, so evil. -_-
That sounds rather hellish… we’ll see where things end up if and when I can finish the first one here. The prospects are good, I’m thinking I’ve pretty much got the hang of it, but boy if these updates aren’t happening… :(

One of the many weak links in the sidebar, I’m afraid. Updating it is in the queue, somewhere…
