I've heard about this game many years ago, but I've never played it. I thought it would be too old and clunky for me to enjoy it, but then I've heard about a mod called "The X-Com Files" and this game's sourceport called OpenXcom, so it was my cue to give it a shot.

Holy crap, I was NOT expecting this game to be so enthralling. It says I've played it for 57 hours, but that was just because I wanted to play it again through Dosbox just to see how much the sourceport modernizes it. Im not a masochist, but I do enjoy taking a look at the past... I find it fascinating, but I digress. I did finish it like this as well, for those wondering.

Anyways, I can't really describe this old gem. I can tell you that its not my type of game, which is already QUITE something to say! It became one of my favorites. It is so deep, and mechanically interesting... I don't know, I feel like whatever I say will not be enough to describe it.

The mods as well, holy crap. Its like Doom mods, there's a whole world of content out there. I have easily over 500 hours playing this, and I started just last year.
