The good news for those of you who would like to see me start another X-COM thread is that with DosBox, X-COM works pretty well in Vista. I need to do a bit of tweaking to the config files, but it works. The bad news is that in my first refresher mission (not a game I planned on keeping for the thread), which had 14 X-COM soldiers going up against 4 aliens, we lost 4 soldiers.
So who wants to sign up? $1000* (in-game) signing bonus to anyone who volunteers to be first out of the transport!
* Bonus non-transferable and is forfeited upon death**.
** Yes, that means that when you buy it, along with notification of your death, your family is presented with a bill for $1000. Plus interest.
