I must have 4 or 5 cds of xcom and TFTD. For awhile it seemed to come with any piece of hardware or free with something i bought.
keep hearing rumors of people working on a remake/new one, but yet to see anything that compares to it actually finish and out the door.

This project was finished, if we are thinking of the same thing.
This it?

Does anybody know how to change the resolution on the First X-Com? I can't really find any settings to change.
It's currently occupying about a 6" window in the middle of my 24" monitor, so it's slightly teeny to say the least.
Damn... I'm going to have to reinstall Steam. Last time I tried to play was on my old 2.2ghz P4. The computer was so fast, it would jump from one side of the map to the other as soon as you tried to scroll it.
They have done a lot since I last looked at it. Think when I played it was an early alpha build. Looks good.
Thanks for the link I'll be wasting time on this instead of work this week i think.
yeah it runs like a champ now, perfectly. I'm a little stymied at the difficulty of UFO defense.
I just fired this up again and yeah, it's brutal. From what I recall though, that's always the case in the beginning until you research and get armor for your guys, then it's a lot easier until the psychic snake enemies start showing up (and then, it's the same thing until you research the psi helmets).
I'm happy to note I still have great success with my old trick of using the high-explosive blocks as hand grenades. .
