> Hi Roger, > When I read your comments, I had to laugh, because many >times i have thought along the same lines ( if not exactly). I remember >about eight or nine years ago i use to play a game called " Buck Rogers in >the 25th (or 20) century", I think. Well it was Buck Rogers something or >other. Too cut a long story short, its very much like x-com ( bar the >research ) you even fought it out in turn based mode, with shots depending >on reactions, accuracy and the type of weapon you were using. It was 'ace' >, but when you intercepted a alien ship ( just like in x-com ) instead of >just randomly attacking it you stopped right in front of it, and then >choose which part of the ship to fire at and then chose with what weapon >you'd like to use. It was ace, I use to cripple the ships life support and >its wings so they couldn't escape, then I just boarded the ship and then the >turn based fight began.. If it wasn't for this game I would never have got >into the turn based mode of playing. Boy I miss that game and would love >to play it again, but, like i said that was eight or nine years ago, and was >made for the Sega-megadrive. Oh well at least ive got X-COM. > I have to admit it...I've watched Buck Rogers in the 25th century. I'm so sorry... Perhaps that game should be converted to the PC?
