The graphics aren't great. The sound effects are OK. You probably can't play it on a modern PC. So why an excellent rating? UFO defense is just about the best turn based squad level combat game ever! The game play is solid with building bases, researching weapons, and alien tech. The resource managment doesn't beat you over the head or slow down the game. You get to pick and choose new recruits based on their stats. There's a strong story through the whole game. Best of all there is lots of combat. The combat is where the game really shines. Buildings can be destroyed, sometimes your troops panic, somtimes the aliens panic, ammo must be conserved and, fog of war keeps you and the aliens on your toes. Aliens can be caputured and taken for research. As you research you build stronger weapons systems to fight the threat. It's one of those games that you can't stop playing. Just "one more mission" turns into three or four missions. If you can find a copy, buy it. You'll also need an old school gameing rig to play it.Read full review
