    Awesome game, one of my favourites as a kid.

    • If you don't like the new Xcom's then try out Xenonauts, which is more faithful to the old games but with a modern UI and such.

    Even better when you run it with Open Xcom.

    • Oh yes, when commenting I kept thinking I'm forgetting something. This is it!

      Please take some time to look properly. It is free for 48 hours. There is even a better saying it is free for a limited time.
      Just find the banner and click on it, please.
      It is X-Com Ufo Defense that is free, NOT X-Com 2.

        my mistake, i thought that was a paid site.you can create account for free

  • I don't know, all I know is when the earth is rendered in all its 8bit/VGA glory that's like ancient history sort of a game.

  • One of the best games ever made!

  • Unfortunately there is no DRM free version, only steam.

    One of the best games ever made.

    Due to the system requirements, would a modern laptop with say Windows, require an emulator to make this work?

      Why the negative vote for a totally legitimate question!?

      I remember trying to play this a few years back and was not successful.

        Like I said some people like to neg just cause they can. Here I plus you hope you feel better

      It will run on a windows 7/10 PC using DOS box. And don't forget openXcom as well!

    • The stock Steam version of the game works on Windows 10 with no problems. But it's best to run OpenXCcom in any case, makes the game even better:

  • Steam doesn't seem to be accepting the code I got from Humblebundle =(

    Ethereals still haunt my sleep after all these decades.

  • Note: You must redeem your free X-COM: UFO Defense key by 10AM Pacific on Wednesday, February 15, 2017! Immediately after 10AM Pacific on February 15, the code will magically vanish as if it were just a figment of your imagination, leaving this cryptic message behind in its wake.

    Redeem by 4AM AEST, 5AM ADST on February 16.

  • Wow, bring back such fun memory, playing it with few diskettes ~ Thanks.

    seems like I already had it, no idea from where.

  • Released in 1994. can't believe this is already 23 years old. One of those classic old Dos and early Windows 3.xx games.

    I already have it apparently
