The PS1 version had improved intro music and an intro scene (animated slides). The gameplay itself was shit though compared to the PC version... not just the lack of mouse & keyboard, but also the PS1 didn't have enough memory to run the game smoothly (or there was memory leak bug on the PS1 version). Interestingly, the PS1 version actually played much better on the PS2 and PS3 (PS3 even used emulation for PS1 backwards compatibility).

I think I remember the PS1 version of that game was watered down, like you couldn't have as many units. That was one of the first strategy games I ever played, I loved the story and it made a big impression. I liked those new XCOM's but the last time I played one, I was coming down with food poisoning (which almost killed me) and got very sick while I was playing it. Ever since that day I have trouble playing it, reminds me of that sick feeling I started getting. It's been some years since then, I might try to play them again now.

The original Xcom will always be special to me because I had just bought a computer for the first time. It felt so advanced the the console games I had been playing. I would put on Art Bell and play till 3 am. Such a great atmosphere. OpenXcom makes it run great on modern systems and has a ton of mods, I haven't given it a try yet but I hear great things: openxcom.org/

Technically Xcom 2 is a better game but I greatly prefer the darker atmosphere of the first one. The DLC integrates itself into the game from the very beginning, If you get the DLC later you have to start the whole thing over again. I keep meaning to play through the Xcom 2 DLC and have it all downloaded but I keep getting sidetracked by other things. Too many games not enough time.

Nazis are frequently depicted in games & movies. I find these facets of history offensive and I demand that it be banned. imho, old statues don't cause racism anymore than violent video games cause mass shootings. Which is to say, these things possibly could have some impact, but only in rare individuals who have severe mental defects.

People were so offended by this goth girl in a graveyard she deleted her instagram account lol. Goth? She's not wearing enough black, also there's blonde highlights in her hair like one of those rich spoiled-ass Malibu barbie types. I think she's nothing more than a common poser, she looks more like a mainstream popstar. Billie Eilish comes to mind.

Goth & Emo kinda converged a bit and its all mixed up. I just thought the backlash was hilarious. People went nuts on her.
