Yeah, the eye candy is obviously much better. It plays mostly like X-COM. I've wasted may an hour glued to my computer screen whacking mutations and "Greys" (that's their little pet word for aliens).

If you liked X-COM you'll like this. I heard that they might be coming out with a new X-COM. I forgot the company who originally produced it but if you do a search you'll probably find info on it.

Great thread, it's a trip down memory lane. I remember my first (and only other) Sub Sim which was Silent Service and I played it on my Commodore 64!!! :) Ahhhh, happy days. I remember thinking: "These graphics are amazing!!!" :)

Can you imagine, 30 years from now, our children will be trying out something like Half-life2, or Doom3 for history class, and would consider the graphics "quaint"?
