I'm still playing, still having fun, lost USA, Canada, India and one other
who I forgot :/  October year 1 and I'm still using Avalanchers to down the
alien craft :(
I guess I'm researching in all the wrong order.

However, my boyfriend has been watching me play and tonight he loaded it up
himself.  First comments were 'Ugh' at the graphics but 2 hours later I
finally dragged him off the PC for my go :)  He's got that look about him
that says 'I may want the PC tomorrow' :P

This game is truly a classic, yeah it may not have fancy graphics but it was
light years ahead of its time.  I remember buying a Playstation for this one
game, I lovedit so much, it's so great to be playing it again.

What's Terror like?  Better than XCom or worse?  Should I be dusting that
off and firing it up?  All opinions appreciated :)

/me props eyelids open and fires up XCom again......
