As of today, X-COM: UFO Defense, X-COM: Terror From the Deep, X-COM: Interceptor, X-COM: Enforcer, and X-COM: Apocalypse are all up for grabs on Steam.
Each title will set you back by $4.99 if you purchase them individually, but buying them as a package will run you $14.99. However, if you want to save yourself even more money, get the games now while they're 10% off in price.
Truth be told, I've never played any of the X-COM games before. I know X-COM: UFO Defense is heralded as one of the best PC strategy games of all time, but it's one of those situations where you promise to do something, and then it completely slips your mind about five minutes later.
Consider this a confession to another one of my gaming sins. Now excuse me while I go repent to the gaming gods.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

You have to juggle so many variables: movement, fatigue, research, resource management. And even if you nail every facet, your men could turn coward and run. I love this series so much.
Thanks for the heads up.
(I resisted posting this over and over again in a wall of text, just imagine it is there)
If people are quick, can still grab the original from Home of the Underdogs here
Great games, fuck me if I'm gonna install Steam of all things to download them again though.
This news is the Strat-cherry on the RPG-based cake. :OD
But I realized I have a Mac.
Then I cried.
If only they actually finished the remake... ;)
X-com UFO defense is one of the greatest games of all time, and is a must download!
So yes I am pleased with this news.
Best pack ever on Steam.
