Hi everyone!
I wanted to give a brief introduction as to who I am and why I'm here. I was thumbing through a few sites trying to find the next greatest MMO to play and thought, they just don't make games like they used too. I started reminiscing about all the fun games i played over 15 years ago. Out of nowhere I controlled my first thought on the game that had all IMO, fun, excitement, intrigue, and strategy at its best. That game was none other than X-COM UFO Defense! I remember I bought it for the first gen Playstation and played it so much the game wore out literally! Good times good times! After a few years that past I had somehow lost that game and looking back knowing what I do now, I wish to god I had kept it under lock and key!
I soon found a Collectors Edition on EBay for $20 and scooped it up to once again enjoy the intense strategy that only X-COM could give....
that is, till I found this game! With the hassle of finding the mods to run the collectors edition in DOS and limited to a number of features to a extent, I ran into this project and read over all it had to offer. I barely got past the first page and hit the DL button asap! Boy was I surprised at how well you have recreated, even better, the excitement that X-Com used to give me! I just wanted to say that I'm happy that this project was created and that I'm in love with the game in a new light! Wonderful, wonderful work has went into such a great game and I'm tickled to death I found it here! Thanks so much for bringing the spirit of these types of games back to where they belong! I'm looking forward to seeing future clients I know will be packed with 3D goodness! I cant wait!
With that said I say Hi, and thank you for letting me be apart of this wonderful games community!
I have a lot of questions that I'm going to try and find answers to within these pages, but one I would really like to ask right out is, is there anyway to take the model skins and be able to somewhat do your own modifications perhaps? I have no coding experience at all, but a bit in Photoshop. I wondered if there was a way to import the skins and possibly change colors or do a complete make over, or if that's even allowed? Thank you in advance and looking forward to being apart of the community!
PS> Yes, I did vote for the choice awards! Matter of fact I got my brother and my older cousin to vote for the game as well! lol!
