| Jagged Alliance: Back in Action | Kalypso Media (Coreplay) | 2012 | Jagged Alliance Back in Action is a contemporary remake of the latest title in the much-loved Jagged Alliance series of turn-based mercenary-themed strategy games. Designed from the ground up to offer a modern gaming experience, Back in Action showcases an updated isometric 3D look and interface, highly detailed character models and a variety of new gameplay features. Back in Action takes players to the fictitious country of Arulco, where a ruthless dictator has seized power and only a small group of rebels stand to resist him. Tasked with freeing the island from the dictator’s iron grip, players will command rebel and mercenary forces while using tactical, diplomatic and economic tools to keep troops supplied and ready for the next flight, all while commanding them directly in nail-biting battles. Back in Action’s innovative "plan & go" combat system combines real-time strategy (RTS) with turn-based elements to guarantee that the intricacies of tactical warfare are rendered in dynamic, exciting gameplay. This challenges would-be commanders to master not only strategy and tactical combat, but also to maximize their team’s capabilities through RPG-like character advancement. Key features: * Unrivaled mix of combat (tactics), roleplay, business and strategy * Innovative "Plan & Go" combat system combines RTS gameplay with turn-based elements * Realistic war setting with authentic-looking firearms * Laptop/computer menu as a central anchor point for the player * Assemble your own unit of mercenaries from numerous unique mercenaries * Simultaneous control of multiple squads using a strategic map * Convincing characters who interact with and comment on the game events * All the dialog has audio * Acquire resources by capturing mines and encampments | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| X-COM: Apocalypse | Microprose;2K Games (Microprose) | 1997 | [84]*** [65]***Una extraño juego de la saga X-COM, tanto por estética (plasticote retro por todas partes) como por jugabilidad (lo de defender una ciudad de conspiraciones cambia el juego de estrategia defensiva a estrategia política) Eso sí, las misiones se manejan por turnos y la interfaz está muy pulida, además de que muchas armas y elementos nuevos (como los ataques psíquicos) están muy bien integrados. 6 de 10*** [58]***There's something evil in the city tonight... Earth has been ravaged by human excess, petty conflict and alien invasion. The world's population has been herded into huge cities, the first of which was Mega Primus. 2084: A Utopia shattered, social collapse and civil unrest reigns in Mega Primus. Fiendish aliens terrorize the city. UFOs swarm through Dimensional Gateways. The city's under siege from an unknown enemy. Your mission, as X-COM Commander, is to combat alien aggression and uncover their deadly intentions. But Beware! Alien infiltration into the city and its politics could see you under fire from criminal gangs, religious sects, and even the police! Alien fleets fill the skies, creatures terrorize the city, chaos reigns... Welcome to the war, welcome to the Apocalypse. Features: * Explosive third game from the highly successful and thrilling X-Com series, following X-COM: UFO Defense and X-COM: Terror from the Deep. * Battle alien invasion fleets over the city of Mega Primus in real-time. * Combat the alien infestation in real-time or turn-based tactical missions. * Research alien-based technology. Create newer and more destructive weaponry. * Destroy alien sympathizers and stem alien infiltration. Wage war on new worlds in the Alien Dimension.

It's however of note that Win95 had sufficient DOS support still in for it to work there without effort. Not true in newer Windows systems though.***An unusual change from the previous X-COM games which were darker and more tied to popular sci-fi fads. Although the gameplay is good and somewhat unusual, its greatest weakness is its outlook. Everything is in cheery candy wrapped colours with odd plastic shine to them, giving the game an unreal feel and makes it difficult to immerse oneself into the gameworld and feel like we really are being invaded by aliens from another dimension while some strange alien worshipping cult tries to sabotage your operations. This is not the only reason, but it just feels like it lacks a great deal to make itself stand out, especially now that the game is located on one huge megapolis rather than the whole world, so you'd expect the game to also have more detail on that accord but no, there isn't. Despite this, the game is enjoyable for some odd reason, but could've been much better. | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |
| X-COM: Enemy Unknown | Microprose | 1995 | One of the most popular PC titles ever is now available for the PlayStation. X-COM: UFO Defense is a strategy game that begins with aliens invading Earth. You control a team of specialists that must gather materials, build bases, and fight back against the extraterrestrial terrorists. Following the normal strategy game formula, X-COM: UFO Defense is able to remain fresh by offering new elements like ancient alien artifacts that when found give special abilities, and a highly original storyline that will keep you enthralled and engaged until the Earth is safe.***European version [29]***US version [29]*** [27]***[b]missing images:[/b] geoscape, title screen, tactical mission, base management (of proper quality/resolution) and possibly some other screens | PS | labelimagesubject |

| X-COM: Terror from the Deep | Paul Hibbard & Pete Moreland (Microprose Software) | 1995 | Latest version: 2.0 (as of ?)***The war continues... X-COM: UFO Defense brought you to a galactic battlefield. X-COM: Terror from the Deep brings the alien terror into a totally new dimension. Seeking to take advantage of a weakened Earth, X-COM's deep space foes unexpectedly change strategy and launch a powerful second front against planet Earth. In the dark depths of vast oceans, long sleeping forces are awakened by reanimation signals sent out across the galactic silence by their interstellar brothers and sisters. Slowly but surely, an army of hibernating alien sea creatures awakens. Your combat now extends to the strange new worlds of the deep where superior alien technologies threaten the very survival of this planet - your planet - Earth. * Sequel to the hugely successful X-COM: UFO Defense * Actual undersea geoscape mapping system with rich topographic detail * Full array of undersea military technology * Rich graphics feature water coloration and wrecks * Multilevel tactical maps featuring both underseascapes and buildings * Alien encyclopedia features mutation technology and new watery denizens [Valve?]***[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] * MS-DOS 5.0 * 386 33 MHz CPU * 520 kB free conventional memory * 3 MB free RAM * VGA display [b]Recommended:[/b] * 486 50 MHz CPU * SVGA display | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |

| X-COM: UFO Defense | Microprose (Mythos Games) | 1994 | Un clásico de acción por turnos, que sigue manteniendo su inmensa dificultad (donde los enemigos muchas veces son más listos que tú y retirarse es una opción muy viable) Visto desde hoy, peca de una interfaz complejísima e impracticable, en lo cual le supera el reciente XCOM: Enemy Unknown (a pesar de no tener las opciones de varias bases y su construcción en detalle) Interesante desde el punto de vista histórico, pero a excepción del reto que supone no tiene nada que no se sienta anticuado y obsoleto. 5 de 10***CD-ROM version [37]***Floppy disk version [37]***Latest version: 1.4 (as of ?)***[i]UFO: Enemy Unknown[/i] was used in Russia and likely rest of the Europe as well.***[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] * MS-DOS 5.0 * 386 20 MHz CPU * 4 MB RAM (2 MB free) * 560 kB free conventional memory [b]Supported soundcards:[/b] * SoundBlaster * AdLib * Roland LAPC-1 * PC Speaker***Two books were made of the game.

Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons or life forms. - Research and manufacture alien technologies: Successful ground assault missions will allow X-Com scientists to analyse alien items. Each new breakthrough brings you a little closer to understanding the technology and culture of the alien races. When your engineers have amassed sufficient research data on their superior weapons and craft, they'll be available for your troops to use. - Develop a strategy to save the Earth: You must make every crucial decision as you combat the powerful alien forces. But you'll also need to watch the world political situation; governments may be forced into secret pacts with the aliens and then begin to reduce X-Com funding.
