kinsie:

I only just read through GuavaMoment’s “Let’s Play” of the original X-COM, and was surprised to find these old-ass Photoshops (Well, Paint Shop Pros, to be more accurate) that I posted on… I think the UFO2000 forums many years ago. If I remember correctly there was another one I did mocking up multiplayer Capture The Flag, which is kind of fascinating considering the new game has multiplayer. It’s probably lost to the winds, though.

I did these with a sprite and map viewer that was written in some ancient version of .NET that doesn’t work with modern versions. Which is sad, because I’d love to do a couple more in celebration of the new game but there’s no real reliable way to grab maps and sprites from the game anymore. Any ideas?
