4.0 out of 5 stars Old game, but classic, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Email Games: XCom First Alien Invasion (CD-ROM)

Although XCom lacks the whiz-bang graphics of the latest games, it is one of the classic strategy/war games and in many ways still hasn't been equaled by anything that's come out since. Worth a try if you're into gameplay and strategy and don't need realtime 3-D graphics to satisfy your gaming urge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game but NOT server supported!, March 3, 2010

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Email Games: XCom First Alien Invasion (CD-ROM)

I bought this game several years ago and played it using their server. Then they shut down the server. So... if you buy this game BEWARE!, you need to go into the games folder and manually attach the temporary save file in order to play it with friends via email. There is NO server available for this game and I cannot see why anyone would pay 20 and especially 60 bucks for it. I only paid 12 bucks years ago when the servers were functioning.

That being said, this is a really fun game, using my above instructions to send the game files back and forth.
