Stun Grenade

Anyone on Steam playing this classic? Keen for some new friends/foes to challenge...

Glad to know I wasn't the only one that, I'm guessing, found the first-person dungeon crawls to be terrifying. I would hate when the camera would quickly flash and pan to the monster. Would scare me s%!tless.

here i am, right on time, 79.

Came across Halfway through reading about it at Rock Paper Shotgun. Described as, "... XCOM’s brand of spooky, dread-dripping turn-based tactics but in spaaaaaaaaaaace..." Looks amazing!! Graphics remind me of Blue Byte's 'Albion'. Thoughts?

A SSD was the best thing I have bought in the computer realm since, ever, really. My intel 520 is still rolling strong!

Started playing Avernum this week - nice indie-made dungeon RPG game. Has a plot similar to that of Ultima Underworld. Also have engaged with the new(ish) Deus Ex game. Super cool!

I can't even remember what it was. Was it the Stun Grenade with the blue background from the Apoc UFOPedia? Correct I'm great. I have finished uni, landed a full time job, in the process of updating my computer, excited about said new Enemy Unknown remake and things are looking great. The forum looks gorgeous by the way. What's your thought on the pipeline of new X-COM titles?

LPs are the best thing to watch when tucked up in bed! At the moment I'm in rotation between Necro (Legend of Grimrock) and Kiko. As for X-COM LPs, I second (third?) Kiko. He is great for a laugh too...

Well that was a let down. But here I am, take 2. How is everyone?

What did I miss??

After 14 or 15 years of owning this game I finally came around to beating the darn thing today and man do I feel happy. I really don't know why it took me so long. I think I'm one of those gamers that when having a break from a game and finally resume playing I find it hard to get back into the groove (so I think I've re-started a Apoc a handful of times). But this time I stuck it out - YAY! I just had to tell someone(s). Oh, and I've been inactive from here for a verrrry long time. I just felt the urge to tell the community about my accomplishment

I totally understand. I outta get some time for X-COM when exams are over and post over here, ey ey? No worries champ Hows the Heep going

Thankyou Zombie and Slaughter. Man, I've been M.I.A. for quite a while now

Save the game. Play until you know when the UFO's arrive. Note the time. Re-load the game. Wait until the time approaches and send the craft to all the portals. BLAM! Cheating? Nah....

Heh I remember BB struggling with this one. Glad to see he got it working but I wish he would pop up on MSN; haven't seen him in yooonks. And darkblade4, howcome you didn't post on those forums ? I'm just curious..

Yeh, we know Slaught is 1337....

Flew

Yes I would agree with Ego Terrorist but you can get them that cheap these days there would be no point in waiting for the Wii to drop down in price. Plus, Zelda: TP just came out for it so I would recommend getting that first =] And BB, why do you need/want two consoles?

Well I wouldn't use DosBox for the CE version but maybe the pure DOS version of X-Com.

Just saw the wiki now... its come a long way from when I last saw it. Brilliant

Yeh I exactly agree and also the fact that you just don't know "what's around the corner.." Alone in the Dark is pretty scary but meh once you have played it long enough you know that 1)pig comes through window; block window entrance, 2) etc.etc.etc... Clock Tower.. hmm I played the SNES version of that, I don't know how much scarier it is on PSX?

Hey there, the _BEST_ way to play UFO would be using a real DOS machine which is toned down to the suit the game. Otherwise, if I'm playing on my 'modern' PC I would use the CE version and run the patched(?) exe. But I still have crashes that way . . .

Last one, being Japanese was pretty difficult, I.T. Systems was extremely easy (http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/la/...2006/index.htm), maths methods was OK, accounting was pretty good and english I think I did well in... All I have to do now is wait 4weeks for the results!

EXAMS ALL DONE!! BOOYAH!
