X-COM: Interceptor

Strategy and Wargaming Game from MicroProse

Fourth installment in this series of acclaimed strategy games. It offers a new gameplay balance and a brand new engine. Space combat has replaced the land and underwater combat of the previous games. Set in the year 2067 you have fight for control against alien forces for a valuable area of space. The gameplay is entirely real-time.

The emphasis is on dogfighting rather than resource management. You can order the units required and research is done automatically when alien artifacts are recovered. There are four basic mission types (attacking enemy ships, attacking enemy bases/outposts, attacking enemy supply lines and defending X-COM bases/outposts).

There is a multi-player mode up for to eight people (over LAN or online). The new engine offers optional 3D support. The full X-COM Apocalypse game is included.
