The constant need to make time-pressured decisions with imperfect information and no ability to save-load your mistakes gives it a real ironman #XCOM vibe, and I feel the same desperate need to rescue a run when things start going awry.
And again, this is a city builder. It’s crazy and unique and I had a great time with it.

#2K has currently a winter sale, which includes big discounts for #Civ4 , #Civ5 , #Civ:BE , #Civ6 and #Civ7 ! This also includes the Civ7 DLCs (besides Tides Of Power, which is currently free).
For people who already have all the civ games, there are also discounts for #Marvel #MidnightSuns, as well as #XCOM 1 and 2 (among other, less interesting games ;) ).
The sale runs until January 5, check it out here https://store.steampowered.com/developer/2K/sale/2kwintersale2025?tab=10 .
X-COM: Terror from the Deep was released 30 years ago, at some point in the first half of 1995.

My third stream of #DOSember is now live! I'll be playing the platformer Clyde's Adventure and then Xcom.
Now starting my second stream for this year's #DOSember. For the first half I'll be playing the flight/racing game Slipstream 5000, and for the second half I'll be making another attempt at X-Com: UFO Defence.
We're gonna be on an alien hunt again today to protect the Earth from their incursion.
I'm going to play some UFO game. Join me if you want to chat about #FreeSoftware , #Linux , or stuff.
There are two ways to complete the Newfoundland mission in #XCOM.
You can do as Bradford says: set the radio beacon and run like hell from the pursuing swarm of angry giant alien bugs.
Or you can line up on the upper deck of the fishing boat, shoot *all* of the aliens from up there, and *then* set the beacon and leave.
Believe it or not, the latter is the easy way to complete the mission. Bugs can't shoot back.
