*sigh*

Download the DOS version and use DOSBox.

I used the link from this same website to download the game and I also have dosbox, but I can't figure out how to work it.

OOOH WOW! I played this game on my old 486 pc. Awesome. I completed it only once due to time limitations but it is easily The defining game of my childhood.

No other game can create the raw fear as you wait to see how your decision will affect your crew's life.


AWESOMMMEEEE!

I'm having issues with sound in the Dos version of UFO,(using dosbox 7.2)
and running problems with the windows version. any tips?

As long as you don't provide a detailed problem description, we can't help you.

Please explain what exactly do those problems constitute. Post all error messages that occur, and in their exact text (or just screenshots of them, will do just as good).

I have resolved the issues now.. Many thanks

Hey I think that those links may be expired but anyway I had a question, actually a couple of them:
1. If there is a better version, a redo by fans then where could I get or at least get a look at it?
2. Is there a way how to make the windows version (that is currently uploaded here) run slower so that the animations would mach the original speed in the game?

PS.
In my opinion UFO Defense is maybe the best tactical-strategical game of all time considering the year of release :)

There are like a dozen different ones, some commercial and some not. http://www.xcomufo.com/links.html
There's also the recent UFO series (Aftermath-Aftershock-Afterlight) and Ufo: Extraterrestrials. I'm pretty sure there was a more comprehensive list posted earlier...

Regarding the speed, set all speeds in the battlescape options (the ? icon on the battlescape control panel) to the lowest and see if that helps.

Thanks for the links! I do know about the settings in game that you can change but it does not help much it is still crazy fast... I boutght myself this new PC, a quite fast one and well I almost wish it was not that fast.. There has to be a way to make that game run slower in windows..
