X-COM Series

Overview

The X-COM series saw the birth of one of the greatest strategy games ever made - UFO: Enemy Unknown (UFO Defense in the US). UFO frequently appears in "Top 100 Games" lists to this day and was the forerunner to the many turn-based strategy games that have come since.

UFO spawned a number of sequels, over time expanding the universe into the flight sim and 3rd person shooter genres, and with Apocalypse updating the squad-based gamplay of the first two titles with the introduction of real-time squad based play.
