Product Description:
From the back of the case: "Command Earth's forces against the Alien Terror: you are in control of X-COM, an organization formed by the world's government to fight the ever-increasing alien menace. Shooting down UFO's is just the beginning: you must then lead a squad of heavily armed soldiers across different terrains as they investigate the UFO crash site. Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers, and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons, or life forms. Successful ground assault missions will allow X-COM scientists to analyze alien items. Each new breakthrough brings you a little closer to understanding the technology and culture of the alien races. Once you have sufficient research data on the UFO's superior weapons and crafts, you'll be able to manufacture weapons of equal capability. You must make every crucial decision as you combat the powerful alien forces. But, you'll also need to watch the world political situation: governments may be forced into secret pacts with the aliens and then begin to reduce X-COM funding."

I picked up X-Com after reading a magazine review (back then we read things in magazines). I was not disappointed: The game pulled me in and never let go. There was so much to do, so many different ways to play and such a long campaign that I spent many late late nights just taking down one more alien ufo before going to bed. The only shame about it is that today's faster processors make game unplayable, and its almost primitive graphics will turn off most newcomers.

I first played this on the playstation1 back in the day. I was hooked from the opening view of the globe.
I recently picked up the PC version off of Steam and while the graphics are dated, I can honestly say that after 15 minutes of playing, I hardly even notice. This is one of those games that I just keep going back to every few years to see what other things I can do.
I spent the last week going through remakes and "Homages" to this game, none of them can touch it.

This is an old game --- a real old game (as far as computer games go), but it is still played by many. This inof itself speaks volumes. This is one game that got it all right.
At the time of its release, it was a sleeper -- little advertisement preceeded it. I bought it off the shelf with one other game (because of the pictures on the box) when I bought my first computer. Once I played it, I was hooked. The game took the computer world by storm and made a name for MicroProse

This game is one of the all time greats, but there's really no need to pay $[...] for it:
[...]
This site, as well as others I'm sure, will set you up with the same game but titled UFO: Enemy Unknown as it was released in Europe/Australia. The only difference is the name and price (it's free).

This is considered to be the best computer game ever made by many experts. Still to be recreated it is in desperate need of a revamp. The dept and the difficulty and the addictiveness can't be matched.
