Absolutely loved both of them! I think UFO Defense was the first pc game I played on our first 486. It was one of the first games I ever successfully hacked.
Not sure how many people know, but there’s another game from Gollop, Rebelstar Tactical Command for Gameboy Advance. It’s part of the Rebelstar series dating back to the ZX Spectrum. It plays pretty much the same as the original XCom games.

X-Com - UFO Defense and TFTD are definitely my favorite. Fallout 1&2 are a close second and I’ve been meaning to play through them again. Ogre Battle is a distant third, with Front Mission right behind it.

That’s a shame. Thanks for trying though!
- Comment on First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land) 3 days ago:
Everblue 2 for the PS2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I play it about once a year. The original was an EU only release thst I didn’t get to play until a few years ago. It also had a sort of spiritual successor with Endless Ocean 1 & 2 for the Wii, made by the same developer. However, the first one didn’t have any of the treasure finding mechanics and there was no real threat to the player at any time. Neither series really let you walk on land, so to speak. The Everblue games do have above water parts, you return to the island between dives to talk to people, sell treasure, sleep and such, but they’re prerendered images that are more like a point and click adventure. There were a couple pc games I played around the same time that were made by independent developers that never really took off.

Oh, I’d be very interested in that if you can point me in any sort of direction.

That was kinda my approach, “How would I describe something that is so foreign to anything I’ve ever experienced that I’m entirely overwhelmed by the sheer realization of it’s existence. So much so that I can only describe the fear felt when seeing it?” The focus would first be on primal instincts before your brain could even begin with physical characteristics.
- Comment on You have my consent to kill me 3 days ago:
"This horror that stands before you is no man, nor it anything resembling man in any facsimile other than it stands upon two appendages that could be mistaken for feet. The realization of it’s mere and miserable existence finds you stricken with a cold sweat akin to the feel of a pale and slimy fish at the market. It’s visage strikes in your being a fear that cores your stomach deeper than any forgotten, but suddenly realized promise. "
Shit like that?
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah… I got caught up in the Overwatch loot box thing when it was still huge. Never had a problem gambling before or since, but I dropped $300 in my last month playing and who knows how much before then. Soon as I realized I had a problem, I uninstalled the game. Couldn’t even talk about it for a long time without wanting to reinstall. Fuck Blizzard and fuck loot boxes…
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 1 week ago:
One I’ve been waiting for for a while, “It has my face” Admittedly I didn’t find it on the nextfest page. I found it well over a year ago when it was still DoubleMe. The original was super addicting and I like the direction the story seems to be going in the demo.
Also trying to be patient for Clover Pit
And Gone Fishing has some promise to it. Not everybody’s bag, but my buddies and I all found the demo pretty fun.

“It must be so tedious being bound in the literal shackles of time. Worse yet to attach ones sense of manhood to their own enslavement. Even moreso to celebrate it with an even fancier manacle… I’m going to go enjoy a coffee. I’ll be back whenever I’m done.”

Hell yeah, Tim Follin is a god.
“Tim, would you mind making the music for our Ghouls and Ghosts Commodore port?”
“No problem, here’s 9 full length tracks spanning 22 minutes including a 4 minute long title screen song. I hope that’s enough. I hope I got the screams right…”
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 3 weeks ago:
Sure it is, you just implement depth map deformation into the static terrain, totally doable! Then you just tie in a strain system to all the game’s models so they fall when they don’t have enough support, then add destruction animations for every static model and falling animations for every character. Totally easy, the devs are just lazy! /s

Always loved Normal Rockwell. Back when we were little and my brother and I would get sick, there was an old tray my mom would bring us our food on with this scene on it. Image The look on that kid’s face, just the epitome of “you greedy motherfucker.”

- Comment on NO STEAM DATA - Valve confirms alleged data breach was "not a breach of Steam systems" [Debunk] 4 weeks ago:
That’s… Actually not a bad idea. Place dummy sets on legitimate servers that then feed into legitimate looking, but flagged, accounts. Sprinkle them into legitimate datasets too. Flood the dark web with fake info that goes off like a landmine when used.
I’m sure that’s something that already gets done. At least, I’d hope it does.

Just another reason to stop buying consoles. Imagine building or buying a pc for your OS to just be like, “No, we think you’re pirating something. We’re going to lock your system and make it entirely unusable. Enjoy your ~$1000 paperweight!”
