:OK: Awesome. :D

Now, these are awesome videos, man! I also found similar let's play's for Terror from the Deep done by the guy going by the name of kikoskia on YT. They're simillar in humorous approach and commentary. However even though being friends (supposedly) they both use tottaly different strategies and tactics in the game.

I'm sorry for asking here but you're an unregistered user, so there's no way of getting in touch with you by PM, but are you Polish by any chance?

that peter griffin avatar does really go with you

Let's say that him & I share the same hopes and dreams for the future.
Well, to clarify let me say that I wanna achieve what he did already. When I grow old, I'd like to be fat and stupid. ^__^

Cause it's fun. ^__^

Anyway, since we're still in a UFO thread I'd like to ask purely out of interest wether what spawn and when spawn in the game is based on any user controlled factors or is it tottaly random? What I'm talking about here is wether end of month ratings have anything to do what kind of encouters one has with UFOs (terror, ships or bases) and their frequence.

For instance I've had, if I remember correctly one OK month, one Good and then three Excellent ones in the row. And in corespondence to that at first I had mainly ships encounters then for about two maybe two and a half months virtually no ships just terror sites and alien bases and now I'm swarmed with loads (and I mean LOADS here) of ships, plenty of terror sites and some bases. To me it seems like the better one does the more game throws at him/her... But I have no proof hence my asking here. ^__^

That's correct. The game responds to how well are you doing by cranking up the enemy activity.

Well, it's good that I sorted out the issue with money then. Pity the game still craps out my save files but it happens approx. every 5-10hrs of game time, so it's not tragic - at least not until it'll kill all the save files in one go. ^__^

I hate Chrysalids :omg:

This game needs to be remade like today! :lust:

I miss Microprose :dunno:

There are several fan projects aiming to do just that.

Also. There seems to be a Russian translation of Diane Duane's official licensed novel floating around: http://lib.ru/INOFANT/DUEJN/x-com.txt
It IS in Russian, but can be translated using Google Translate (not all at once, though - each time it's refreshed it goes a little further) http://translate.googleusercontent.c...Q8QRWFtvnQ84DQ

And for those familiar with the german language also:

It is not really a remake, tough, rather a new game.
