wrackin' the web trying to find a game with the same appeal/accessibility/playstyle as XCOM: Enemy unknown

Assuming that's not a euphemism, why not graduate to X-COM: UFO Defense. Then maybe someday you can do X-COM: Terror From the Deep.

I do. It's not nearly as perfect as EU/EW, but it's fun. Feels like a poor man's XCOM. But also feels like some more XCOM missions to play haha.

Rumor is that in one hour GOG will be releasing Xwing and Tie Fighter. If true, I may be calling in sick tomorrow.

Cause you haven't played them in the past about 30 times?

Xwing yes, Tie Fighter no. I beat Xwing back in the 1994. I have only played it a couple times since. Tie Fighter I never got passed the first few maps since I never owned it. More importantly, I have to train up for when GOG gets Xwing vs Tie Fighter and Xwing Alliance - so I can kill ack more thoroughly from my Ywing.

If GOG gets Their Finest Hour the Battle of Britain, I will be taking the next day off. That is a game I never beat and runs poorly in dosbox.

pah you'll be playing as a rebel? I'll join Ack on the dark side of the force

Its true. Xwing, Tie Fighter, Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island, KOTOR, and Sam and Max. Sure all but the first two are on Steam, but this is big for GOG. It means games that would not make money on steam, ie Outlaws, can make a comeback.

Xwing/Tiefighter have both the original Dos and the newer Windows releases
Fate is the talkie
Monkey Island has both the original and the special edition - which means you can turn it into a talkie via this http://www.gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/monkey1.html.

You damn right, fool. We got Death Star.

Fingers crossed for Dark Forces.
