Now I can put some Christmas money to use.. Of course, after I purchase X-COM Apocalypse.

I played Homeworld and I loved it! Thank you for that game recommendation!
I also played Alpha Centauri, but I had issues with Alien Crossfire not wanting to start. (Still loved the original, though)
The next few games I'll play are System Shock 2 and Deus Ex after I finish up Dungeon Keeper 2.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! This might take a while to sort out which ones to try out and play, they all seem great.

Genres? And what have you played before?
Ask more specific question please.

Role-Playing, Strategy, Action.. Pretty much everything that isn't text-based.

I've played Command and Conquer, Diablo I & II LoD, Age of Empires I & II, and Starcraft.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend some games from the 90s (Besides X-COM).

I was thinking about downloading Alpha Centauri and such.. But, I'd like all of your input before I start downloading all these games and they turn out to blow.

Offtopic / Help getting Openxcom installed

Each time I install it and try to play it this comes up in a DOS window:

"ERROR:
Failed to load palette

Can't find a required X-Com data file.
Make sure you installed OpenXcom
correctly.

Check the README for more details."

I've read the README, but where am I to find a version of X-COM: UFO Defense?

Blarg. I'm Blarg from the Blarg Nebula, I fly a small UFO around Florida and work at Burger King.

In all beautiful, yet, unfortunate reality! I'm Matthew from the US, specifically Florida. I recently started getting into the XCOM Series and after a few DOS mishaps I decided to see if there was any mods for it and I found this.
