I'm a long time X-COM fan, ever since the UFO demo was released on a UK magazine back in the early 90's. Picked up Interceptor for 5$ yesterday, and man, I feel ripped off. What's the key to enjoying this game? The graphics suck and the interface is hopeless... the whole thing reeks of cheese.

You need to go back in time, to when the graphics weren't that bad.. -- 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 !

It's a hard game at first, because you only have one very slow interceptor group, with glass ships. By the late game, things are different, -you're an Air Traffic Contoller/ Emperor who drops into combat every few minutes and makes one of your pilots an ace. Morgane
