placebo

wow thanks for the link. It says now available for xp and vista.....I think I might buy since I cant get collectors edition to work on vista and I can only play on ME.

I read xcom came about because of the tv show. Abductions, interceptors, bases, mind control, autopsies, and even the soldiers remind me of the game. TFTD is like it too. The show comes on almost every day on the family channel (9486 on dish network)...in fact it is on at this moment. 10pm 6:30pm and 300pm ect..... The stories are really good ,but the special effects make me laugh sometimes. I'm surprised how sexy the women are...and the outfits they wear. If you force yourself to watch a few episodes you will love it. (if you like xcom)

trying to get x-com to work with vista on a LCD screen

Such peer pressure! I save often and reload if someone dies. I have OCD when it comes to getting my soldiers to have the best firing accuracy and reactions. I don't reload too often since my skills are decent. I love it when I get to a point in the game where my reactions are very high and the aliens attack my base. I force the aliens to come through a choke point (the access lift with the hanger on the other side) I just leave my 3 or 4 soldiers crouched or standing to guard the hallway. The aliens come walking in and their dead bodies start to stack up on top of each other as I start to mow them down. Or I like to send a blaster bomb to explode on the center of the hanger and see how many screams I can hear TfTd and apocalypse are even harder if you don't save. Interceptor is real time so I didn't save.
