Description

UFO: Enemy Unknown is a classic video game and contains a fanciful story. The story of the game is a blend of science fiction and tactics. The game involves actual time strategy and needs to take a good command of his actions and moves. In UFO: Enemy Unknown, the player plays the role of the head of the unit X-COM. X-COM is an international organization whose aim is to protect the planet earth from attacks from the other beings of the galaxy. The player takes command over the different armies of X-COM and also, instructs the investigation and advancement of machinery, constructs and advances the foundations of X-COM, and administers the affairs of the X-COM unit. When the game starts, the player is equipped with classic weapons. Later, in the game, the player learns more about the species of aliens and advances his weapons. Also, the player can create new weapons with the help of unusual stuff that they find in the abducted alien unit. The player soon finds out that the unusual creatures contain some supernatural powers using which, they can take command over the brain of humans and captivate them. Therefore, the player needs to be careful and attentive and defeat the person behind all the attacks by the aliens. Unfortunately, the luck of the player is not always favorable. The aliens might capture the player’s foundation units and captivate him. Furthermore, the game is held in two different landscapes: Geoscape and Battlescape. In Geoscape, the player controls the activities of X-COM on the planet earth. He administers the foundations, locates the UFOs, searches for the foundation of the aliens, prepares new weapons, and prepare themselves for invading the aliens. In battlescape, the player, along with his warriors, wags a war against the aliens.

I was curious why this has been #1 all these months I have enjoyed this site so I had to find it and try for myself. Since its not playable here please for respect to this site do not ask me where I found it although a simple search engine and a bit of time was all it took me. After playing it through I cant agree with a 5 star rating and feel pretty generous giving it a 3. It sure isnt a Civilization Master of Orion or other groundbreaking title that is more deserving of the top rated for this site. The most glaring flaw is the inaccuracy of every weapon, I kid not you will spend 75% of your time on this game watching your missed shots fly across the screen. By comparison the aliens cant hit the wide side of a barn either (and a couple maps actually have wide barns I have tried it on) although if anyone gets any kind of luck of the draw its the aliens, be it more time units than they should have had movement for, a uncanny luck for counter shots or the fact that their shots especially point blank ones almost always hit your guys when you can fire off a full clip and miss them makes it so frustrating I cant imagine most casual gamers taking the time to finish it. Add clunky controls and a couple bugs they never patched and you are almost obliged to save it every minute of progress. While it was enjoyable, challenging and addictive it simply isnt the kind of game you play over and over and once you have beat it theres little to the game to bring you back again and again. Finally the research/manufacturing part of the game could have been a real boon and instead feels "phoned in". Not only do your bases not share research so you have to do it over again for each base but its a pretty vanilla and shallow tech tree that really isnt any kind of reward for the time put into it. Im hoping the sequel has fixed these and other problems and made it the great game it could have been.

Ever since I was about 6, my dad was playing this game. It was UFO Defense on the Playstation, but the same basic concepts apply to this one as well. I grew up with this game, and it thoroughly got me hooked on alien ideas and stuff like that. Sure, there are some bad points, like bad AI actions, but for the most part, it follows a lot of the basic physics of real combat, such as firing full auto causes the rounds to spread. All in all, this game is kick ass, and it is addicting. One major difference between this and UFO Defense is the fact that if you mind control all the aliens in a level, you win, and to my knowledge, this doesn't have it, but that can be overlooked due to the awesome gameplay.

I've played this game for for years on and off. I can say I've played many many games but I keep coming back to this one. this game for when it was made has so many good things about it. the game play the graphics and the replay value is awesome. you couldnt ask for a better game that comes from the mid 90's. If I would have to give it a rating I say Graphic are a 3.5/5, gameplay 4.5/5 and replay 5/5. but if you don't believe me, just give this game a try and become addited to this amazing game.

I played this game for the first time in 1997 (for months on end btw) and had tons of fun (and little sleep). After some time it slided to the backround until recently, when a friend said he still wanted to finish the game. I reinstalled the game too and immediately I was hooked again!
Don't be fooled by its looks! Such game depth, such atmosphere! In all these years of gaming I have seldomly come across a game that took hold of me this firmly! Time and again I found myself thinking about this game during the day, devising new tactics, plotting my next moves, impatiently waiting for the evenings at home. At night I regularly found myself ignoring the clock, playing "just one" more round, over and over again.
And yes, the game has a few minor issues, but that is easily compensated for by its strong points.
If you want to experience some really, really good gameplay, please take the time to learn this game (fortunately there are many tutorials out there) and find out what playing a great game feels like.
Keywords: Tactics, Logistics, Research, Construction, Atmosphere!!!!, mixture of turnbased and realtime strategy, good replay value.

Its hard to disagree that this is easily one of the crowning moments of video game entertainment, ever. Game play supreme, with simple but still fab looking graphics, unbelievable atmosphere. I could constantly reload this game and start again and i just wouldn't get bored of setting up a base and progressing afresh. If you want to experienced genius in game design and entertainment, play this game at once. 5 stars.

possibly one of the best games of all time, no kidding. This game has everything a good game should have. Not everything is about graphics and this game definitely proves this point. Once you get into it you wont be able to pull yourself away from the from the experience.  10/10

7/21/2014 2:02:00 AM - Suzanne @igor: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." Which is a shame, since I can run the game straight from the .exe file file but only see a black screen.
12/26/2013 1:41:00 PM - Mantas Good game

4/23/2013 6:30:00 PM - Draylok3 I own the original but it still is sad to see the freeware gone because of corporate greed trying to cash in on a great game.

FGE for having this awesome game for free up to now, the level of awesomeness the game has made it a asset to moneygriding bastards,(read STEAM!!!!) and I´m sad you had to remove it on your free site, but sadly its not up to you, who chose to put it up for sale (ffs those guys have a new version, let us pay for that and let the old one be free, true x-com fans WILL buy the new version anyway). THX for doing a grat job for all of us old guys how loved the original games. ps. thx tom ,guys like you makes it even better to come to this site again and again ;-)
10/4/2012 10:48:00 PM - Wjacob313 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10/3/2012 12:49:00 AM - BoB ufo enemy unknown was one of the best games i ever played on my Amiga. many years later and i still jump back to it for a few weeks every now and again
9/10/2012 7:46:00 PM - Sarco Buy? The search for UFO Enemy Unknown on filestube get as the game from freegameempire as first result. Download from mediafire is of course free.
9/9/2012 9:43:00 PM - chirs i hate Steam it sucks it slow and is makes you pay for your games a second time if you lost it i refuse to buy from steam no thanks
9/6/2012 2:31:00 AM - HELP TOM Tom, did you happen to do the same for colonization?
8/1/2012 2:32:00 PM - Tony By the way, check the comments a few pages back, someone posted the direct link which still works :-)
7/25/2012 1:08:00 AM - Interesting... While this is easily one of the best games I have seen on this site before it was being actively sold again, it boggles my mind how some of us have failed to see this was NOT the first game that you would have to buy from this site. I am not happy that it is being actively sold again, but it is not FGE's fault it is, and it should not be taken out on them. On that note, I would like to thank FGE for all of the games that ARE free, since many of them bring back memories of when I was a kid, and I would not be able to easily find them from other places.
7/9/2012 7:00:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire I have removed all rude comments. You can complain but please complain with a style. Once again it's not us selling this game but the original distributor. We just link their shop to give our users more comfort finding the legal copy of this game and we have no money from it. On the other hand, if you have a strong will, don't eat two or three hamburgers (the price is basically the same) and buy the game legally. Thank you.
6/29/2012 4:45:00 PM - It was free before, what about now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on... It was free before! This website is sh**
6/20/2012 7:48:00 PM - Piece of poo HA!! free games my fat ass! screw this website

5/21/2012 10:08:00 AM - Deano Buying the game doesnt support the developers, sadly. -.-

5/18/2012 8:58:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire Yes, thats where buy button leads anyway. We do not sell this game by ourself but cannot place it here for free if it's being actively sold.
5/15/2012 7:47:00 PM - Heads Up You can go to Steampowered DOT com and buy this game from there for maybe 5 bucks or so and it'll run on any platform.
5/11/2012 2:44:00 AM - Wow. Seriously FGE. Your making us buy this? WTF is wrong with you. Had it free for over a year and then some and I come on to play and its pay to be played. This is a fast way to lose people coming to your site.
4/28/2012 10:40:00 PM - sergio i hate how you cant play it on this site since for some reason on the geoscape when i click an arrow it goes extremly fast if i play it through my copy and when i play it on here its perfect
4/28/2012 9:49:00 PM - sergio i have put the game up for download but i used a mod called xcomed to change the prices and stuff for items and buildings so youll have to find a wiki or something to change them back the mod is in the zip and you can just delete my saves if you dont want them link: http://www.mediafire.com/?1cql4tq12en1az6

4/21/2012 11:16:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire Hello, I disagree, most of the abandonware sites removed this download or replaced it by demo version since the game is being sold again. We are sorry but this is the only solution for now.
4/20/2012 9:29:00 PM - Collector No one's going to buy a game which can be googled in less than 5 seconds. Why should we buy it? Stupid!
4/6/2012 9:04:00 PM - Anon user they're making a FPS and a remake of this

2/29/2012 12:38:00 PM - FreeGameEmpire Currently Take 2 holds the copyright to All X-COM series and is actively selling it on Steam. However, if you buy the game from Steam, it should be packed with dosbox and playable under Windows. You should also try other free editions like UFO2000 http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net/
2/29/2012 9:09:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire Just wait a while until I find out if it's possible to share this game or not. I'll try to consult other web pages about it.
2/29/2012 4:55:00 AM - ricco if i buy this game, will i be able to play on my pc(Window7)?
2/29/2012 4:52:00 AM - ricco how come i suddenly can't play this game anymore? does it happen to all, or just me?

8/24/2011 6:03:00 AM - fauzan abut
8/12/2011 9:59:00 PM - quetzalcoatl For me, there are only a few roots of computer gaming: - Tertris (alive, mutated+) - Arkanoid (alive, mutated+) - Tron (practically dead) - Memory/Pairs (alive, mutated++) - pick-a-card-game-or-solitare (alive) - Contra, CannonFodder, Syndicate (alive, merged, mutated++) - The International Karate :) (alive, mutated+) - Civilisation (mutated, dying) - Elite 2: Frontier (alive, mutated+, bad health except Eve Online) - Dune 2/2000 (alive, mutated+) - ChronoTrigger/FinalFantasy/AnyOtherOldJRPG plus Planescape:Torment/Fallout + ElderScrolls (alive, merged, mutated) - and the UFO:Enemy Unknown (almost dead, sooo saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!) sad sad sad. since microprose did UFO3:Apocalypse (which I actually liked, but not that much as UFO1/2), this genre is REALLY dead. Tthe ubisoft tried heavily on reviving it, but IMHO, failed - not due to lack of skill/graphics/marketing - but because, even if they had some good ideas - the aftershock/aftermatch/etc they have released are so far inferior in their gameplay to this little precious gem of UFO:EnemyUnknown. All games (in the 'genre') that followed, more or less successfully tried to borrow things and ideas, and only a few succeeded in a few points, but none has covered all the points. If you do think that some similar, newer game "does XYZ better", please checkout UFO:EU, compare, and TAKE in to the account that UFO:EU was published in 1993. Yes. Ninety THREE. Check on the Wiki or mobygames. Then, calculate the time passed between your game and this one, IMAGINEorSCALE the XYZ through the time and all the cpu/gpu/blah/technology upgrades, and compare the how-such-UFO:EU-would-look-today. The only thing yo umay not find in present similar games is the turn-by-turn game play. Well, I admit, thats the one thing you *have* to like, or you will never like. Chess, or paintball. Both great, but they will never go together in one game. So here's the chess, the pearl of the games. btw. if you have problems running it, try the standalone DOSBox and download the game separately. Don;t try running it form within Windows, nuless youhave some OLD machine with OLD microsoft system like win95 or win98 that were able to run programs to run in pure native DOS. Or a virtual machine with MSDos6.22 or Win95/98 could do also. Good luck! Despite some now-unintuitive mouse controls, this game is so worth your effort. If you like strategies, you should play it at least once!
7/22/2011 10:42:00 PM - LT151 The Problem is that you are useing the wrong web browser. If you are using Firerfox or chrome you are going to need the plug-in. If you are running IE then is should work just fine
7/22/2011 10:41:00 PM - The problem is that you are most likely using firefox or chrome instead of IE. Either use IE istead or get the plug-in/extension for firefox/google chrome
7/3/2011 12:24:00 PM - Wytchfynder Same happened for me, you need a pre-existing emulator to install it to. Im clueless as to how to do this but I got my hands on a version with an emulator built into it. Sorry man, its all I know.
7/3/2011 7:29:00 AM - Kagg i have literally no idea how to install the game once downloaded, and apparently i can't play it through this site either anymore. Any reasons for either of those things to happen? Whenever I try to play, and I do have the application to allow the game to be played installed, it tells me to download the same file again. then it sends me to the general site. This is really beginning to tick me off. I love the game, but the hassle to play it is getting unbearable.
7/1/2011 10:24:00 AM - Wytchfynder Threw on a King Diamond album and played this game, set the mood up fine, which meens I scared the s**t out of myself. 13/10 great game.
6/25/2011 12:13:00 AM - Sorry, by the page, I meant the fan wikia done for it, I think ufopaedia.
6/25/2011 12:12:00 AM - UFO Hey, I'd like to make a request, not sure where to do it but I'll say this here. I think you should offer the patched version in this website, not fix every bug like xcomutil or other programs designed around that, but a minor hexedit (you can check out how to do this at the page) should fix the difficulty resetting bug.
6/23/2011 7:24:00 PM - Talguy 21 Sorry, version 1.2
6/23/2011 7:03:00 PM - Talguy 21 Is this game patched to V 2.0? if not I think that theres a bug that raises difficulty to Superhuman after mission 1.
6/19/2011 1:27:00 PM - Johan thenxxx
6/18/2011 5:08:00 PM - John great game nostalgic thanks!Q
6/10/2011 6:17:00 AM - kenneth12 I heard they are makeing a new X-Com but its going to be an FPS, I guess some of the best things in life are free.
6/7/2011 12:12:00 PM - Rog If u want an activation code for this game just type 11 then enter
5/18/2011 2:26:00 PM - ME This game is awesome!
5/16/2011 8:29:00 PM - Talguy 21 I can't get DosBox to work myself, but it is a great game and Freegameempire.com is a great emulator.... If only they had Master of Orion 2....
5/3/2011 12:54:00 PM - Ethan for the code i just uy any numbers and it works
4/24/2011 5:00:00 AM - Prins Valiant Why do i get the original version where i have to find a code in the playmanual that was sold with the original game ? Am i missing somthing ?

3/6/2011 7:25:00 AM - LeCarre Darn, Users Manual Copy Protection, ah the memories.... :)
2/4/2011 11:48:00 PM - B00mer Got annoyed with it so i bought it off Steam £2.99 :P thanks for the help :D
2/4/2011 8:02:00 PM - FreeGameEmpire We have designed our applet to run our games for you so you don't have to figure out by yourself. If you want to do it by yourself you will have to read a DOSBOX manual first. You can start with latest blog entry, there are many useful links here.
2/4/2011 1:39:00 PM - B00mer The EXE files in the folder open and run DOSBOX fine
2/4/2011 1:34:00 PM - B00mer Yeah i dragged the file to desktop DOSBOX. It starts and within 2 seconds it closes itself and nothing happens.
2/4/2011 8:07:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire B00mer : Have you drag&drop START.BAT file ? ufo fan : Download button works fine only download dialog appears too high. This will be fixed soon. In the mean time roll your screen to find download dialog.
2/3/2011 8:55:00 PM - ufo fan seems there's no way to actually download this game here!?!... we're stuck having to play it online instead of being able to download it aaarrgghh!!!!
2/3/2011 4:47:00 PM - B00mer EDIT: found the configuration page and made the changes suggested and still DOSBOX opens and the closes. Any suggestions im using 0.74 on Vista
2/3/2011 4:12:00 PM - B00mer Tried the drag and drop but DOSBOX just opens and then closes itself. Not sure how to get into the configuration options.
1/26/2011 8:23:00 AM - gamer 6 now if only there was a way to download and play the game for people that can't ubnderstand whatever that was... where's the easy to understand download version of it!??? what about the rest of us who don't know computer talk and havn't spent the last 10 years on a pc? lol @
1/15/2011 5:14:00 AM - Ricky Hey thx! It worked! :) On to playing the game hehe...
1/15/2011 5:00:00 AM - Ricky Wow! cool! I am gonna try that to see if that works. Thanks a lot :)
1/14/2011 1:55:00 PM - FreeGameEmpire A guide can take some time. A quick guide for this game is: 1)Install DOSBOX with desktop icon. 2) Download and unzip game. 3) Drag&drop START.BAT file from a game at the desktop icon of DOSBOX. If you have any difficulties, try changing DOSBOX configuration this way: fullscreen=true, scaler=hq3x, cycles=fixed 40000, pcspeaker=false.

1/14/2011 8:36:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire You can download DOSBOX and try to run the game with it. When I have more time, I will try to write some article about playing old games in modern OS.
1/14/2011 6:21:00 AM - Ricky Hi. Is there a guide manual how to install this game and get it to play in Windows Vista? I can play it thru this site fine but where I am living the internet kinda sucks and I would love to play this without going online. Thx!!

11/27/2010 12:38:00 PM - Srdjan Zgonjanin At the time when it had just shown up on the market, it was a smashing success! Quite unlike anything ever seen up to that point, a groundbreaking innovative, downright brilliant! I must say I utterly enjoyed every time I played it, and I played it over and over again, so many times. Too bad the sequels are not quite as playable. I wish a proper remake of this game gets produced some time in the future. It would be hugely interesting to see what the game would be like with the capabilities of the computers of today.
11/5/2010 2:43:00 PM - Tom Excellent game! My favortie! Never ever nobody made better or exacly same game! Is very hard but otherwise what kind of game it will be.

7/22/2010 1:29:00 PM - andy beswick this game is legendary, i used to play it every night after school for hours and every free minute i had. i just though i would have a quick go as i forgot all about it and now i'm addicted again! if you like this try and find x-com: apocalipse for a slighty more up to date version of the game (although that is probable 10-12 years old now also). happy gaming
