They're back...only this time the heinous aliens are out to destroy
Earth and rule the new frontier. As X-COM commander, it's your sole
duty to protect humanity and the prized mining operations in outer
space. You must strategically equip your X-COM fighters, amass a
formidable arsenal and then fulfill your mandate by going head-to-head
with the devious element. The action is fast. And the opposing forces
are wicked. But if you are smart, diligent and quick, you will prevail
in a masterfully fought campaign to save our planet from perilous
collapse.

"It's the year 2067, and Earth's resources are all but depleted. To
avert the slow decay of civilization, the major corporations of Earth
have turned to the stars -- an area of space known as "The Frontier" --
to find the raw materials they so desperately need.
Unfortunately,
some old friends were already in the neighborhood when the corporations
arrived -- and they have plans of their own for the resources of the
Frontier. Plans that could very well mean the end of the human race.
Welcome
to the Frontier! In X-COM Interceptor, you take command of an elite
force that has been fielded to meet the aliens on their own turf -- the
depths of space. This time, you'll be engaging your alien foes from the
cockpit of a cutting-edge space fighter, fighting ship-to-ship as you
protect Earth's corporations and X-COM installations. But your job
doesn't end there. As X-COM's commander in the Frontier, you must
maintain your financial standing, manage your bases and increase
X-COM's presence in the area. It is also up to you to guide the
research of alien weapons and technology in the hopes of improving your
own technology and discovering the reason for the ever-increasing alien
activity -- before it's too late."
