Thats right boys and girls It's time for a lets play of the original XCOM. It's one of my favorite games, Its grim, its scary, its fun, and freaking amazing.
And here is some backstory for you kids:
It is 1999 and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have started appearing with disturbing
regularity in the night skies. Reports of violent human abductions and horrific
experimentation struck terror into the hearts of millions. The mass public hysteria has only
served to expose Earth's impotence against a vastly superior technology.
Many countries initially attempted to deal independently with the aliens. In August 1998, Japan
established an anti-alien combat force; the Kiryu-Kai. Equipped with Japanese-made fighter
aircraft, the Kiryu-Kai certainly looked like a powerful force. However, after 5 months of
expensive operations they had yet to intercept their first UFO. The lesson was clear: this was a
worldwide problem which could not be dealt with by individual countries.
On December 11, 1998, representatives from the worlds most economically powerful countries
gathered secretly in Geneva. After much debate, the decision was made to establish a covert
independent body to combat, investigate and defeat the alien threat. This organization would be
equipped with the world's finest pilots, soldiers, scientists and engineers, working together as
one multi-national force. This organization was named the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit."
That being said: there are a few things that are going to happen here. First off there is a great deal of customization as far as names go, I'm going to have you guys name my soldiers, We will have 10 soldiers actively in combat at the start of the game so I'd like you guys to give names to the soldiers as they come along. Second order of business is the name of the base, Our base will be situated in the swiss alps (for reasons I'll make clear later)
Base name:
