Look at what I found · 2:59am Oct 4th, 2018
While I rummaged through some of my old stuff...
I didn't have time to go through everything, but in there is an original XCOM manual as well :P I wonder what inspiration I can get out of this?
Also!
Get hype!
ok... I AM HIPED AS FUCKING HELL!!
I still play the original XCOM: UFO Defense
Looking forward to the legacy pack and remember the nightmares that were tftd crysalids.
Now if only I had a PC and not a Xbox one s.
You don't get inspiration from Terror from the Deep. You get fustration followed by soul crushing despair...
Terror from the Deep was the evil stepchild of the XCOMs. I rather play the original and Apoc (as well as the modern ones).

I'd be more worried about repeated squad wipes coming to the story, that game was vicious...
Although maybe not as vicious as Apoc early game if you play turn based mode... I think Poppers become the hardest enemy of the entire series.

The problem with Terror from the Deep is that not only is it a punishingly difficult game...but even if you win, you lose.
In the ending you destroy the ancient colony ship at the bottom of the ocean the aliens were coming from...but said explosion not only kills any surviving squad members, but also rips the planet a new one, rendering it mostly uninhabitable, which is why humanity is down to one mega-city in Apocalypse. So, congrats you win...at the cost of most of everything you were fighting for.

I do wonder if Hasbro hadn't fumbled the ball and the series continued on it's original path just how dark would it have gotten for humanity. Lets face it, in Apoc we took on a backwater colony world on a recon mission, that group existed across multiple universes.
I see you are a man of culture

I'm just lucky I have a policy of keeping every videogame manual from the late 80's/early 90's in a stash on top of my bookshelf.
Still wanting to find out what happened to Vahlen
