RE: MD
With so many similarities between this game and the real world, it is obvious this game was developed by aliens to fictionalize ideas and turn the idea of aliens into entertainment so nobody would actually believe it!

There are many parallels between the basic ideas of this game and many of the things we see going on with real UFOs. See Bob Lazar's website and how he describes the UFOs that he says are kept at Area 51. Also the fuel that is used to power these UFOs is similar to Elerium; it is claimed to be "Element 115", which is used to power their matter-antimatter engines.
The aliens in this game are similar to aliens that supposedly exist on Zeta Reticuli (the greys), and other solar systems not far from earth. There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the creators of this game built its basic premise upon things that are alleged to be going on in the real world. True or not, I cannot say for sure, but I can't rule it out completely.

Perhaps one of the best strategy games ever made. It still lives on my computer (Steam version) and it's still captivating despite its ancient graphics.

Doesn't work. Zip contains a folder with another zip in it. That zip contains only a .txt. Even D-Fend Reloaded couldn't find anything in it.

This just might be the best computer game ever made although Civilization might share the honors with it. This game however will make you nervous about every single move you make with your men because the enemy might vaporize them at any second. The sheer horror you feel when you realize your best Sergeant just got taken over by a Chrysalis and now he's killing everyone in the squad can't be equaled by any game I have ever played.
To my mind, if you haven't played this game, you can't claim to be a real gamer.
It's that good.
