You can still find X-com packs that include every X-com game ever made (some good, some bad).<br /><br />Also, Heroes 3 was not made by the Russian team behind Allods. It was not until Heroes 5 that the game development was shipped to Russia. Heroes 3 was developed by New World Computing, while Heroes V was developed by Nival Interactive.PDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679811531727072313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544986590661740950.post-19974996349247654972009-12-23T09:48:40.110-08:002009-12-23T09:48:40.110-08:00@Crimson I totally agree, I need to try out Galact...@Crimson I totally agree, I need to try out Galactic Civ 2 it sounds like...<br /><br />@pallynoob & Kergguz & Marz yeah I think Civilization was my one major oversight here..<br /><br />@Marz what is X-Com about?

I thought Imperium Galactica would take the sci-fi gaming title, but they never quiet got there. The Heroes line oddly never got better after Heroes 3 (in gameplay). Worms was always a blast with friends, but died off shortly after mainstream gaming went 3D. Good times...Crimson Starfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764422983380987864noreply@blogger.com
