Hello.

As far as i know xcom: ufo defence i the US version of ufo: enemy unknown; the latter commercialized in Europe and the rest of the wordl. Now what is the difference? If any, which one includes the universal patch in the extsta download section of openxcom official homesite?

You need to apply the patch on both Versions, so it doesn't matter. Steam Version also.

Thank you hellrazor, but then what are the differences between US and EU/resto fo the world versions?

As far i I've seen it's just the name, and yes I have BOTH versions (one on the original floppies even - if I can remember where I packed it.)

None. The reason for the different names is that Microprose US vetoed the "UFO: Enemy Unknown" name since they were worried that using UFO as the game title might lead to copyright issues. So they decided to change the name into XCom: UFO Defense for the US edition.

One has to say, having something unique in the game name was a rather good move of the US people. It establishes the brand much better. Everybody switched to "XCom: Terror from the Deep" later.

"USO: Terror from the Deep" would be a rather weird name, and the link to the first instalment a bit more tenuous.

spelling, mostly. Armor vs Armour and so on.
