Well bought this off steam a couple days ago, ive put in about 2 hours in and got a message saying my base ran out of oxygen game over

You must have lost the aqueduct north of your base. Expand up first and get fuel ASAP.

Anyone else still having fun with this? Took me about half a day to get into it but god damn - this thing has me like WoW did in the early days. Very cool game once you get to grips with it.

I have not played that game for a while but I have played a lot of...

UFO Extraterrestrials....

...the above is a great support forum for the game, and Bmans mod is almost compulsory to add for what it does to the original game.

The originals game...

Are there three of the UFO games now?
I think i saw a pack with all of them.

Which is best?

Apparently aftermath was ok, the second UFO (i.e not the original xcom series or apocalypse) was crap, this one i REALLY like. The difficulty is a bit random and theres a couple of rough edges but VERY decent game otherwise

How does this game play? Is it like nwn or more like Fallout or something else?

Totally different mate.

Its mixture of 'world [well Mars!] view' strategy - planning exploration and base / personel management with 3D small squad based action in kinda fake real time. ITs turn based but things happen simultaneously. Find that bit quite annoying really as the constant pausing gets on your nerves!

Anyway - search for UFO Enemy Unknown, or Terror from the Deep to see where it all started

I quite like the game but it has an annoying AI skill ramp [well vertical jump!] up if you explore too quickly and you can't keep up. Other than that its fun
