Just when I thought I'd never buy anything off steam anymore, they hit with these insane sales:

Peltz, I saw you bought the X-com series on steam for 5 euros. :) I wanted to do the same...but only realized it yesterday evening (end of the weekend) and couldn't find anyone with a credit card awake and/or online to buy it for me. :( (i'd repay it, obviously)

I should get me a proper credit card.

EDIT: Well the offer is still up.

Heh, it appeared in steam because you're on my friends list. :) Peltz bought X-com etc.

It's still up? I might buy it still when i get home then. :)

On another note...why don't we create a clankiller steam group? I was going to do it yesterday evening but then figured that perhaps it was more of a thing Satis should do...with him being the owner of the registered trademark Clankiller and all :P

But if he's too lazy then whatever, I'll do it

The xcom series is on there? Shit, I'd buy that.

How do you create a group? Is it in the community tab? I don't have Steam installed here (at work) obviously... I'll see what I can do.

No steam at work? You're not hardcore!! :P jk obviously

Missed the X-com sales. It's back to 15 € now, which is a bit rich. :(

You can easily create a steam group by fiddling around a bit on your steam page. I can't recall how it is here at work (no steam either) but if I saw it at home I could tell you. But you'd figure it out in 5 seconds too, so I won't even bother. :P

damn... $5 is worth it for all the xcom games... $15 is not. I assume it's still a 1:1 ratio for dollars to euros, at least on steam. Too bad. My disk of Apocalypse is pretty worn and I've totally lost the original xcom disk.

welp, I looked it up, $15 alright. I'm looking at the original xcom...it says it supports multiplayer and cooperative modes. I had no idea. Hell, the only multiplayer I played in 1993 was Doom and that was 1v1 over a dialup modem.

Can you really coop the campaign?

it turns out, nope:

Look out with Steam descriptions. It doesn't list RA3 as a co-op game, for example, which it most definitely is.

Meh. I still want to play X-com. But not for 15 big ones (and yeah, it's still €=$ on steam). Think I might still find a nice and old Pentium 90 with 64mb of ram and a dos/windows 98 SE install anywhere? Maybe not such a bad investment. sure as hell can't game Dos-based games properly on Vista. :roll:

Personally, I'd just build another machine myself, typically out of left over parts. I've got most of a machine sitting in an anti-static bag right now. However, if you like purchasing, you can check out dell auctions.

Some pretty decent deals on hardware.
