Hi all, How does one go about getting a copy of the Windows version of XCom? As far as I can tell, you can only get it from the U.S., e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00003IEGA/qid=1089745248/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl63/102-0851830-1969703?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846 Questions: 1) Where can I get hold of a windows copy of XCom:UFO Defence / UFO:Enemy Unknown? 2) Does the windows version correct the bug where its always on easy level? 3) What are the main differences with the windows version? 4) On the Amazon site, it states that the games are compatible with 98/NT. I assume that it was released quite a while back. Is it compatible with Windows XP / Windows XP Pro? Cheers, Kalten~!!!
