I wish there could be more games like this. Im a great fan of this type of games. I played this game once back in school when it was released. I finally tracked it down and had to buy. The game is very close to the actual series, the music, the camera angles. I am running the game on Windows 7. For anyone that is interested on playing this game on Window 7 and dont think it might be compatible, below are a few things that I needed to do to get it working, smoothly. First off all, before running the setup, change the compatibility on the setup file to windows 95 and Disable the visual style. I have also set it to run in 640 x 480 res. During install, trying to do a full install (3.7Gig) it came up with a warning that I dont have enough hard drive space, although I have about 100gigs left. I guess they didnt include the calculations for gigs back then. Luckily you can select Ignore, which will allow you to continue. After installation you need to remove the version of quick time that comes with the game, the sound is terrible on that version. The latest version is also not to great. You need version 4. At the time of this writing, QuickTime 4.1.2 was available at the following address: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120081 You should also adjust the compatibility mode for the game. To do that, go to the directory into which you installed the game, right click on "XFiles.exe", chose "Properties", then click the "Compatibility" tab. Click the box under "Compatibility mode", and then select "Windows 95" from the drop down box. Disable the visual style. I have also set it to run in 640 x 480 res. And thats that. Hope you enjoy is as much as Im enjoying it.Read full review
X-Files: The Game is a very fun, high-quality game which will really entertain fans of The X-Files. You play an FBI agent in Seattle recruited by AD Skinner to solve a case. There are many levels (and several CD-ROM discs) and great, rich graphics. You've got to solve conundrums and search for clues. You'll encounter Mulder and Scully and other familiar characters from the show (the game predates Doggett and company). The game is challenging and will make you want to play for hours to solve the case. The storyline is engaging, filled with danger and intriguing mystery. All fans of The X-Files will enjoy this game thoroughly.
If you're a diehard X-Files fan than you need this in your collection. Although there is another game they released a few years later, this PC title allows you to become an agent and work on an X-File yourself. Help track down conspiracy to cover up the existence of E.T. and rescue agents Mulder and Scully. Fantastic game and truly unique to its time.
