Identifying Edition

[NoFear]

I have the blue disk that has ufo and tftd on. Would this be the collectors edition or the dos edition as im trying to use some of the fixes in this forum. (sorry if its a bone question i bought the game quite a while ago and dont have any packaging to check this out)

If it is on a floppy disk then it is most probably the 'original' DOS version. You might want to check to see if it has a readme on the disk, and seeing what it's requirements are and what it's copyright dates are on it.

 

But I'm 100% sure that it's the original DOS version, as the collectors edition was released all on CD. And the collectors edition I've got has UFO, TFTD X-Com Email and the manuals for all the X-Com games (with the exception of Enforcer obviously!)

 

Questions? Corrections?

Hey Ego...

 

I know this topic is old... Im sorry

 

Here's my X-COM version knowledge... well at least what I've seen...

 

I live in the USA...

 

You have "Enemy Unknown" which was released on floppy (I assume) and CD (later on) in UK then USA...

 

But the first release in the USA was a 3 floppy set for "UFO Defense"

 

There is a "UFO Defense" CD... I have it right beside me... Its rare.. its prior to the 1.3 patch which converts it to "Enemy Unknown"

 

I assume Mircoprose felt EU was the definate release...

 

But the sounds and music are Extremely different... in U.D.

 

Also... EGO! in my collector Edition there was no Email X-COM!!!

does yours have the big Alliance ingame trailer???
