anybody ever play any of the Xcom games? They were pretty sweet back in the day. I'd actually like to track down a copy of Apocalypse again. Fun stuff.

The original XCOM ruined an entire semester for me.

Literally.

Played it every waking hour... I was SOOOOO addicted.

Got the newest version... kind of a knock off version.. doesn't have the same magic.

What's the newest version? They didn't release another one did they? Did I miss something?

::Shudder::

I too wasted countless hours on this game. Certainly a momentus game in the annals of gaming history. It created tension like no game before it, and few games since.
