PREVIEW
UFO TERROR FROM THE DEEP from MICROPROSE
FORMAT: PC
DATE: APRIL 95
PRICE: N/A
For months, X-COM (in North America) and UFO (in Europe) changed thousands
of people's priorities. People no longer say "I will do it right after
this TV show or even after my golf game". Now, they simply say "I promise
I will do it right after having played X-COM".
Unfortunately, they never get a chance to do it because they will play this
tremendously addicting game forever!
Why is that? Well, nobody knows exactly, but I am sure that tracking
aliens all over the world with a squad resembling Rambo is the essential key
for the success of this game. Plus, if you add excellent graphics, strategy,
and management resources, you end up with one of the best games ever
released!
Now, you may be asking yourself, why am I talking about X-COM when everybody
is already playing the game?
Well, it is simply to announce that "X-COM: UFO TERROR FROM THE DEEP" will be
released next April. What? X-COM 2 the sequel? YES!!
────────┐
The Plot│
────────┘
X-COM 2 takes place when their brothers' cosmic emissions start the
re-animation cycle of the aliens from the depths. Sixty-five million years
ago, the colonization ship T'Leth crashed on Earth and the emergency systems
initiated the suspended animation for the aliens on board. The alien's home
world, however, never received a distress call. For ages, the computers
tried to awake small groups of aliens to attempt a colonization, but failed.
As gold is the base metal in the hyper-alloy Zrbite, aliens have been
sinking ships for centuries to recover the precious metal.
With the energy bursts launched on earth by their brothers, the computers
are now fully operational and have begun a systematic awakening of the
aliens. Earth is in danger and your mission will be to eradicate the alien
invasion.
────────────┐
What is new?│
────────────┘
As you understood, X-COM 2 is set in the marine world of oceans and will
feature new effects like the coloration given to objects by water.
X-COM 2 brings new alien life forms with their technology, weaponry, and new
missions both on the surface and underwater. For example, on the surface
you will visit islands, ships, cities and ports, and underwater, you will go
in coral constructions, sunken ship wrecks, alien bases, etc... The number
of tactical sites has been doubled and the animation level has been
increased by ten times.
Effort was made for a new audio system that creates an out-of-this-world
atmosphere and brings the player into an alien world with nightmarish
creatures all around.
The online encyclopedia present in the first episode shows the new creatures
and the mutation technology in a more structured manner.
Aliens's strategy is divided into two different parts. The first part can
be resumed by setting up various strategic locations around the globe to
control the seas. The second will be to recover the necessary artifacts to
regenerate the core of T'leth and awake the ultimate alien, the Great
Dreamer.
In this game, you will have to fight with new technologies that fit into
the marine environment: specific weapons, submarines and floating bases.
During the game, you will recover advanced alien technology that will give
you the means to battle these sea creatures.
So, now that you are aware of this new jewel called "UFO TERROR FROM THE
DEEP", do not miss it!
