About this product

Product Information

X-COM Interceptor, the fourth in the X-COM series, is a complex, real-time, space-based and strategy-laced war simulation against those pesky, persistent aliens who are determined to destroy Earth and gain control over the new frontier. That's right, they are back for more. Whether they are just slow learners or gutsy never-say-die antagonists, you'll have your hands full as you confront this space-borne menace in a series of campaigns and missions designed to test your mettle as an X-COM commander.<br><br>The game features both single and multi-player (two to eight players) modes, each containing specific elements and different types of missions. In single player mode there are three distinct combat mission types. Essentially, two are mandatory for winning the game. The first focuses on head-to-head combat situations required as a direct response to an alien threat and the second revolves around taking the initiative by conducting preemptive strikes against the enemy. The third mission type, while not mandatory, helps you earn and accumulate extra points in the final scoring of the game by presenting opportunities to take on special missions.<br><br>As the X-COM commander, you'll be required to hire new pilots, outfit your fighters with the newest and best equipment available and stay on top of new technologies by researching captured alien weapons. The game supports joystick, keyboard and mouse input and Internet play where the player hosting the engagement can control multi-player aspects such as who can join the game, how many can participate (up to eight total) and type of game (e.g., either solo or team free-for-alls). Both 3D accelerator cards and non-acceleration setups are supported. As a bonus (undocumented on the box), a complete copy of X-COM Apocalypse (the third game in the series) and its manual is included.
