I did as well! It was 5$ per game or 15$ for all five. And as I wanted
both UFO, TFTD and Apoc, I bought the complete pack. I can't believe
how much fun I'm having playing this game again! I also finally get to
check out Interceptor and Enforcer, though they won't be nearly as
much fun, I know...

suspense knowing that UFOs with deadly wicked aliens would be popping
up at any moment. And at my first landing, I had a lump in my throat!
I can't believe how exciting this 15 year old game is!

I lost 3 guys on my first mission, a downed UFO in Scotland. Second
mission I lost none. It's taking a while to get a hang of it. TFTD and
Apoc also look awesome. You can play the games in windowed mode as
well, but I actually prefer blocky old fullscreen :)

The feeling I get landing and deploying is totally claustrophobic...
it's fascinating that such an old game can maintain suspension of
disbelief.
