> STRATEGIES-
>
> When you start your mission you should save in a save spot
primarily
>made for in mission saves. Move 3 people out the door and
TOM: Use them as bait. Let them die horrible, watery deaths while their
commanders sit in the warmth of the submarine, sipping tea and
eating
watercress sandwiches...
MIKE: Being a little dark, aren't we?
> have them look
>around the exterior. If you find an alien kill it and get all people
back in
>ship. When you have atleast 4 people out the ship
TOM: Close up the sub and take off for your base, leaving them to die in
a
cold, watery grave...
MIKE: TOM!
> move them to take
cover in
>the corner of the map. Since you always start in a corner this isn't
hard to
>do. Move 4 more people out and then get the last 2 people out. Split
people
>into 3 groups.
CROW: "A" group and "B" group will flank to the sides. "C" group will
walk
straight out into the open, drawing alien fire so that we don't get
hurt.
MIKE: Don't you start.
> Each group has 3 people and one group of one person. Move
the
>groups in any direction, but try to stay on the side of map.
> Move the groups so that the 3 people start out like this-
>
> X
>
> X X
>
MIKE: Now the offensive tackles will stand in front of either side of the
quarterback...
>then move the 2 back people ahead of the first person-
>
> X X
>
> X
TOM: Or in other words, in a hexagon.
>Whoever moves should have time for an aimed shot. If you space them out
>about 5 spaces between every soldier a grenae shouldn't kill every one.
CROW: Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
>
>When they reach the ufo, have 3 people out the door. Have them enter and
>shoot any aliens then exit. Do this until safe, then enter the group and
>work your way through. Always stay to the side of doors with 2 people on
>each side and one person on step back but in front of door.
>
> |X
>DOOR ----> | X
> |x
>
MIKE: That's a door? Looks like a crude ASCII drawing of the letter "D".
> Make sure to save at the beggining of each turn and if somebody
dies,
>then reload that turn.
TOM: Just like in real life.
> Now you know where the alien is. If you use the 3
>group strategy and leapfrog the groups, then the game is easy. DONT
FORGET
>TO
CROW: Eat a healthy breakfast?
TOM: Change the oil in your car?
MIKE: Wear clean underwear?
> SAVE.
ALL: Oh.
>
>If you got M.C. Disrupter, equip them on the most skilled and stongest
person
>in the MC catagories. Then just controll any aliens and have them walk
in
>front of the ship and balst them.
MIKE: Then blast them.
> You can controll every one in one tern
i
>done properly.
ALL: Huh?
>
>For Base Missions, the best strategy is to clear the top floor by going
from
>room to room and controlling the Lobsters.
TOM: Be sure to bring plenty of drawn butter.
CROW: Drawn and quartered?
TOM: Well, I...HEY!
> Use tentaculats as seekers to
>find more lobsters to controll. Once you have the top cleared. Postion
>people over the lifts and for the next 5-10 missions, have them simply go
>down,
CROW: (female) Going down, Mister Bond?
> look around and go back up. If they see anybody you can blast
them.
>Doing this should eliminate 2-3 more alines. You have to eventtually
make it
>to the bottom of the level and kill everything.
TOM: <starts shaking> Kill...kill...Kill...KILL...KILL!!!
[Mike grabs Tom and stops him from shaking]
MIKE: Whoa, Tom buddy! You okay?
TOM: I'll...I'll be fine...I think...
> The objective is to
destroy
>the controller, that is in a small room that is in a big room that is
>surrounded by a fence on the bottom. Youll know when you see it. One way
to
>destroy it is to launch 2-3 disrupters at it and kill it. Or you can
mind
>controll the aliens and have them shoot it. Also the aline comander and
>NAVIGATER are besided the controller so maybe you should just stun them
and
>kill teh rest of the aliens and take all teh prizes home.
CROW: (game show announcer) YOU WIN...the fusion reactor, the
antigravity
waterbed, AND the laser meat slicer! Total value, SEVENTEEN
THOUSAND
DOLLARS!
>
>
>C. WINNING THE GAME
>
>To win the game is fairly easy except for 2 things that must be
resurched.
>They are the Lobsterman Commander and Navigater. YOU MUST RESURCH THEM.
MIKE: (little kid) Awwww, do I hafta?
>
>
>D. COOL HINTS
>
>1. SAVE AT BEGGINING OF MISSION. If you get killed reload, and know you
no
>the area that the alien came from so kill him. If you do this you will
get
>hundreds of points at end of mission.
TOM: Since when does common sense qualify as a cool hint?
>
>2. GET a Cheat program
>Unadvisable since it ruins the game.
CROW: THEN WHY DID YOU SUGGEST IT???
>
>
>E. BUGS
>
>There are a couple of bugs.
MIKE: Eeew! Squish them!
> I have the CD-ROM version. If you install
the
>game on the hardrive. You get lots of crashes. It takes 2 or three
times
>to get the game running.
>
>Some times the terror missions go berserk.
>
TOM: (sarcastic) Oh, thank you for being _so_ descriptive!
>F. ME
MIKE: FA! SO! LA! TI! DO!
>
>I come from a small town called EASTEND. It is in the province of
>Saskatchewan in CANADA.
CROW: And all this time I thought it was a part of London, England!
> I have been playing computer games for 4 years,
>thats when I got my 386, I got a 486/66 right now. I am currently
taking
>Electronic Engineering and am planning on going into computers and the
gming
>industry if I can.
MIKE: You realise that with the decline of role-playing games, there
isn't
much call for GMs?
> I am only 18 and got a long way to go though.
>
>G. OTHER THINGS
> You can install the CD-ROM version by going into the HARDDISK directory
and
>typeing install.
TOM: Gee...you could even read the installation card to figure that one
out!
>
>Gravis Ultrasound ACE is a good add on card if you can't afford the AWE32
>from Creative Labs.
>
>16 MB of ram makes WING COMMANDER 3 run better.
>
>The THRUST MASTER Pro is a good joystick.
CROW: Admit it...you just like typing the word 'THRUST'.
MIKE: No, Crow...
>
>Panasonic makes good car audio decks. i have the CQ-DP655 cd with cd
changer
>controlls.
MIKE: What the heck does this have to do with X-COM?
>
>The plot for Ultima IX should be great because of Ultima 8.
TOM: Why, because Ultima 8 didn't really have much of one?
>
>I can't wait for PRIVATEER 2.
ALL: WE CAN!
>

CROW: Is your grammar consistantly correct?
MIKE: You say you don't have problems spelling your OWN name?
[Everyone moves back to reveal the sign...]
ALL: The Ratliff School of English!
TOM: Now you to can learn to spell words and construct sentences that
would
make your high school english teacher keel over!

Classes

MIKE: And "Name Misspelling 412", taught by the Dean himself!
TOM: Here is what some past graduates are saying about "The Ratliff
School
of English"!
[Dissolve to a stillstore shot of a piece of paper. The writing is
crudely
written.]

hoping that some benevolent magazine type will read this and immediately
hire him to review games in his own inimitable style.
