I've played all official XCOM releases but Terror From the Deep is my all time fave. Games I always have installed on my PC are TFTD, Sudden Strike2, Half Life, Diablo2 and Simcity 4.
Funny how I got into TFTD back in '95. Friend of mine had a gaming club back then and every now and then he would supply me with latest game releases. Unfortunately, none of those were originals, they'd all be bundled up on a single CD. That was the period when I'd play anything I could lay my hands on but after a while you get tired of Doom, MK, TV and similar games so you start looking for something else to play. XCOMTFTD was the last file(s) on the CD and I always wondered what it is. I had absolutely no idea how to play it but I was so amused by the atmosphere and everything else that I pressed hard onto it. I still don't remember how I've managed to take down first Alien Sub but I did it. Then again, it also took me some time to learn how to send aquanauts to the crash site. Capturing live alien and discovering how to use mind control was something I've mastered in my 3rd new game. All in all, the thrill, the creepy atmosphere and freedom of play is what always draws me back to it.
