Totally agree! I played it endless times when I was young, and I was able to complete it (by destroying the mars base) only recently playing on dosbox!

The recent reboot is just a tactical console game. It was fun for a while but I get bored quickly.

Also X-Com Apocalypse is not on par with the original, but still quite enjoyable with the realtime combat mode.

Apocalypse was the biggest disappointment in my (gaming) life :(

Horrible graphics, different (but not good) gameplay, and worst of all it didn't "feel" like it was the same world of XCOM. All of this is subjective, of course.
