In any case, XCOM Enemy Unknown gameplay.

What is the time-line of XCOMs anyway? I remember the game from DOS era, which was awesome. One was on land, one on water. But then, I can't find them on GOG, there is only UFO:after/light/math/shock
Are they from the same series? Are they as good as originals?

I picked up all of the XCOM games through Steam a while back. They come pre-configured with seamless DOSBOX emulation, so they run perfectly well under 64-bit Windows 7.
