Altough most games at the moment have beautiful graphics, cd-quality sound
and stunning 3dfx colors,
X-Com 1 (and 2) is still one of my favourites.
Why? Because it's original, turn-based and very interactive.
I was a bit disappointed when X-Com 4 was released. It's more an
arcade-shooter then a strategy game.
Hopefully the next X-Com release is a REAL follow-up to X-Com 1 and 2....

Let's go back to the good old times.
