Title pretty much sums it all up. I've got an itch to scratch and so far, haven't been able to get my X-Com (original CD ROM version) to run on my Windows box. I guess after the weeks of disappointment i've had with UFO: Aftermath, i wanted to remember what "The Real Thing" was like. I love Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, but there's just no substitute for the Real Thing. Know whaddamean, Vern? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Also, UFO and TFTD work fins with Win98, of you want to fo to the effort of creating a dual-boot system. I have them installed on an old (P200) laptop. -- Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes ! They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses ! And what's with all the carrots ? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway ? Bunnies ! Bunnies ! It must be BUNNIES !
