Zombie Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Cool, an X-COM comic! There is an email link to the left of the calander underneath the comic. I'm sure the author knows that X-COM can be played on XP. All he said was that he couldn't get it to work under XP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 You dolt! The one today is also neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Seems as though those X, I mean Z-COM comics are a regular occurrence. Me likes how the Sectoids are "standing" on the chairs inside the larger/Medium Scout UFO! Wait, our very own Pete wouldn't be the author of said comics, would he? Be honest Pete!

Bomb Bloke Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 According to what I read there, they weren't so much regular as he just came up with the idea and so made a bunch of them to use as filler, when he's unable to draw a 'proper' strip for his comic. I guess they'll be a bunch of them turning up a over the next little while. Talking of taking screenshots, I can only get them out of my Windows 98 box. Under XP, I simply can't get the print screen button to work in the DOS VM, nor when running the CE version of the game. These days I can cheat, my map viewer looks very much like the original by now, and since I wrote it - I can make sure the print screen button works.  Of course, when improving my code, I still need to boot up my '98 machine whenever I want screenshots of the actual game for referance. A tad annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The "print screen" button will not work under the CE version. You must press F12. After that, go back to your UFO Defense directory. At the bottom should be some file names with a .tga extension. That is your screen shot. To view it, open with a photo editor or picture viewer.

Space Voyager Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If someone is already writing mails to the guy at least invite him to the boards. If X-COM 1 is still one fo his favourite games, he must be just as addicted as we are. I admit I don't play it any more (ok, once every two-three years), but - clearly - I need at least a "written dose of X-COM". Which you guys provide, he he he! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 hmm...he should link here. we should link there. hey, we should be affiliates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Four more Z-COM comics started here. I like how Pete got the soldiers on jetskis for the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Anyone know if all the Z-Com comics are available to view on that site? I know I'm being a 'tard, but I can't find them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 a couple posts have direct links, use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 The links lead to only one comic. There's no 'Next Z-Com comic' button on that page that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellb0und Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well, if someone can contact the guy that makes those comics Pete could even add a feature on this site, something like "Comic of the Week/Month" with it's own topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 @FA: It's just a filler or diversion from his main storyline. There's a rumor he might re-group them in the archives but until then, try the "view by week [W]" option in the calendar on the lower right.

FullAuto Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Cheers JFG. I know they're supposed to be filler, but I enjoy them more than most of the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
