The X-com complete pack was available on steam, all 5 X-com games, for 2$. Just couldn't pass that up
I actually have the CD for X-com Apocalypse, though, that runs into the old game/newish computer problem.
I remember someone used a hex edit money trick for Apoc. I tell you not having to worry about money let me focus on other things. Still sucked when Transtellar decide the aliens were their "friends" much like the Cult of Sirius. Which meant no transferring. But I got around that by "selling" stuff I wanted to go to another base and "buying" it at the desired base. Sure cost a few extra bucks, but money wasn't a problem.
But enough of that, what I am getting at is apparently hex editor can be used on UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep. Anyone who has played either, the later in particular, knows how infuriating the agents piss poor accuracy at the beginning can be. Thrown in that in TFTD they make you fight an entire army of aliens that almost never miss before you have armor!
Also it would be nice to to have a just a bit more elerium to give a bit of a cushion. Let a base go for a while thinking I could get elerium raiding supply ships, but never caught one, and then when I finally had enough and took down the base, NO ELERIUM!
Thing is, I run the games on steam, so can I still use hex editor with them? Anyone here have work with hex editor before?
