UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense – one of the first tactical strategies. And perhaps one of the best games for the PC. In addition to tactical fights turn must be dealt with management of resources and research. Game Score – 5 points!
Very short, very ordinary, very unnoticeable toy, which could not detach!
Very good graphics for the 90th’s. On the battle screen shows what happens, there is shooting someone or not. And then in a heap of strategies is not clear that where, and who shoots.
Hackneyed plot: a man, namely the Martians priperlis to conquer the world, while at the same time turned into mutants of all human beings. As you can see, Microprose has not reinvent the wheel, but just made a start and a few banal unexpected end. At the end (you’re already on Mars), you must find and destroy the brain newcomers. But when you find him, he gives what he created mankind and it can not kill. Asks: why is attacked? Neither Microprose, nor the brain can not answer this question …
Playability: it is because of the banality of the plot and want to pass the game. In fact, when proydesh it can stand in a pose in front of your friends and brag that it is YOU destroyed the brain it is newcomers and you will have saved the Earth. In general, useful game:)).
Year 1998 from the birth of Christ. Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have started to appear with frightening regularity in the airspace of the planet. The reports of mass kidnappings and the horrific experiments conducted on them, plunged into the horror of ordinary inhabitants. The mass hysteria and panic among the peaceful population, has almost complete helplessness of the armed forces of the planet in the face of superior forces in the equipment newcomers.
11 December 1998 by representatives of all the most developed countries met secretly in Geneva to discuss the situation. After lengthy debate, they decided to create a secret independent organization whose purpose is to study the enemy, its technologies and ways to eradicate it. This organization was given the best pilots, soldiers, scientists and engineers from around the world.
This secret organization was named the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, abbreviated as X-COM.
1 January 1999. You were appointed head of the organization. Your competence is everything: the launch fighter jets to intercept the UFO, sending troops to capture the shot down or landed UFO, the decision to capture or destroy enemy bases on Earth (if your people can find them) and you decide that you need to explore the scientists in the first place as well as that made by your engineers, you manage your organization’s finances, you are entirely responsible for the protection of the civilian population from newcomers and much more …
You will, as usual, take the few: to earn a lot of money, to remove a cat from a tree, and at the same time and once again save the world …
