There were lots of games in the UFO/XComm series, some better than others. The older ones are best. Try to find them on budget and play them on bochs. But as ever, the newer ones have become bogged down in 3D eyecandy and now suck and aren't worth the time or effort.

Yeah, when they changed from turn-based to realtime they broke it. They put the emphasis on action rather than strategy, and these games are not action games and shouldn't try to be action games.
