I forget how I got to your journal, but I can't resist commenting on the wonderful XCOM games!
Terror From The Deep was, as you say, much, much more difficult - all of those labyrinthine cruise ship missions, and the near-impossible alien undersea base missions...
The missions were a lot bigger (and I think it ran a little slower, because of the increased size - on my 'puter, at least).
(I seem to recall getting to the middle bit of one of them, eventually, but don't remember completing the mission - or if I did, my team was in such a mess that when the aliens then decided to attack my base, I stood no chance I was so depleted...)
The first was far more playable, I think, because things didn't get difficult quite so quickly...
I haven't played either of them for ages.
I have, however, just discovered something equally distracting: an emulator for the BBC Micro and Stryker's Run...
