crazedc Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I remember seeing something years ago that said that if you press SHFT of ALT or some other combination during the equip screen of a Sectoid mission, the Sectoids would appear to be a different race of aliens. If I remember right, they were a canned species that didn't make the final cut. I seem to remember them as being floaty, tenticly ugs. Maybe something like a Tentaculat? I looked on the wiki and elsewhere but can't find any mention of this. Is this a myth, fact or product of my imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It's part myth, part true. They do not exist in-game so there's no way to get them, but they did appear on the box art on some releases of the game - the European release if I'm not mistaken. I guess it's simply following in the fine tradition of putting box art that has nothing to do with the game (or looks nothing like the game at all) on overseas releases. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Are we talking about this one? (top images): https://www.mobygames.com/game/x-com-ufo-defense/cover-art I haven't heard of this particular "Easter Egg" before, but I doubt anything like this is included since the programmers didn't add any Easter Eggs or cheats for any of the games up till interceptor. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 UFO has no hidden alien art, but TFTD has a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Mobygame's doesn't appear to like the direct linking, so you could try their listing of the various covers. Looks like it was more common than I thought. https://www.mobygames.com/game/x-com-ufo-defense/cover-art - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazedc Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yeah, that was the bugger! Thanks for the replies, guys. It probably was just a myth, but I'm going to press some buttons during equip screens just in case Although I suspect you guys have gone through all the files for editing and modding already...

Absalom Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Those aliens on the box art look pretty cool too bad they never showed up in the game itself. Tho I wonder on the box art why is the lone soldier aiming at the alien to his far right instead of say the one right in front of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
