Understand this about the X-COM games. I was a freshman in college when the original game came out, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the early 90s. I bought a computer magazine (I think PC Gamer) with a 3 1/2 demo disk of the game on it. My roommate and I probably played that ONE MISSION 100 times. It was supposed to be set up to be impossible to win. We eventually won it. The game crashed.
A couple of months later we saved up the money to buy the game, then spent a whole semester doing little other than that. You can check our grades for proof ;- )
I've played this game quite a bit I'd think, and it still kicks my butt every time I pick it back up. Its about the only game I can truthfully say this about.
