    I don't know how many PC gamers we have up here, but I'd really like a copy of X-COM: UFO Defense (known in the UK as UFO: Enemy Unknown). I used to have a copy years ago, and very well may still have it, but it would be in my garage, which means it's as good as lost. Even if I found it the disks are probably no good.

    I would *really* like a complete set (box, manual, etc), but I'll consider just the CD. With that said, if the boxed version you own is a disk set, I'll more than likely want it, too.

    So, to sum up: CD or floppy version, but if it's the floppy version I *must* have the box and manual.

    This is strictly for collection purposes, so if you have the floppy version and your disks don't work, please be honest and tell me. I'll probably buy it anyway.

    UK sellers welcome, too, as long as shipping isn't hideous.

    It's abandonware, you can download it for free.
    As to a real copy, it's real expensive to get some of the versions...

    I know; I'm playing through it for the thousandth time right now :)

    I collect old PC games, and X-COM is one of my favorites. It just feels kind of wrong to not have a copy. I'm not interested in the PSX version, which is arguably the most expensive one.

    I imported the unreleased in North America PSX Terror from the deep.

    Music is amazing. Graphics better than the PC. However you will need a
    mouse or trackball.

    Amazing versions, I can see why UFO defense on psx hits $70.. 100% worth it.

    You're weren't kidding... the sound effects are amazing, and the graphics look fantastic (for a thirteen year old game).

    I really hope I don't wind up hunting down the PSX version, too... My wallet can only take so much pain.
