When I first played this 20 something years ago I played it a fair bit but didn't play it fully and didn't finish it. I do that with books if I want to read them again. My brother gave me the spoiler/advice to give my men two weapons before I had installed the game. I remember on a normal game I got pretty far, I could taste the end and did it without ever investigating buildings and using the infiltration graph. This is the first time I've used it and done that. I didn't lose back then, I stopped playing. I never read the manual and thought it was useless information and I never used psys either but that was choice. Using them now it's clear I knew they're a bit weak without ever using them. This game has a better version of difficulty settings than most giving less money and a bigger city. Not just giving the AI units buffs with more money which is bog standard and poor. To see this game done now the cities would be much bigger with more traffic and things and a editor would be nice and keeping the graphics simple like they are and not alienating people from adding their own stuff to it. Having massive cities with 20 bases for really long game should be possible now and why would they restrict it for being possible which is a common thing to find in their games. One day I may try playing without duel wielding unless it's pistols and swords. It would have to be self enforced like with the graph, investigations and psys. This game pushed the boundries and then it went nowhere. Nobody went with it realy, was a kind of D&D verion with Balders Gate that replaced all emergent stuff with force fed lie stories that wasn't replayable and more expensive. Less game costing more. False economy and then they went spewing lies in the media using it as an excuse and still do. They took an idea and went backwards with it in game design and called it a success with higher reviews and more advertisement from shit talker who ruin everything not just games with massive demands and nothing good to see. It's failed race territory and they're dead set on it and have been for decades. The new Xcom's are not as advanced as this game is and it's been over 20 years. It's all graphics now and the new Xcom was horrible and they all loved it and said it was great. It was realy bad with horrible shooting mechanics with percenteges, turn based and everything was reduced to less while they shoveled in crap stories and loads of horrible voice acting. Xcom got wrecked and saturated with childish fat. And nobody seems interested in fixing that which is internal poor standards.
