How did Terror From the Deep come about? UFO: Enemy Unknown was a surprising commercial success, especially in the US market, where it was sold as XCOM: UFO Defense. A nightmarish alternative universe version of Enemy Unknown in which everything went wrong. In places it feels like a beta version of Enemy Unknown, without the same level of polish. It it any good? Was it worth the wait? I don't want to spoil my conclusions but no, it's not, and it wasn't. However Terror From the Deep is available for £2.99 on Steam, so that might take my mind off the devastation. My original plans for May have been put on hold because there is a solid wall of rotting corpses between me and Heathrow. The world has been devastated by a killer plague and I am one of the few survivors. What was the point?įast-forward a quarter of a century. It was set underwater, but your soldiers walked around and threw grenades as if they were on dry land. The general consensus was that it was Enemy Unknown with different graphics. ![]() I also remember completely ignoring Terror From the Deep when it came out. ![]() I always wondered if it was originally intended as an official tie-in with Gerry Anderson's 1960s TV series or not. ![]() I'm old enough to remember playing UFO when it was new. It was difficult but accessible, with enough action and explosions to amuse the influx of gamers who bought a PC to play Doom. Along with its near-contemporary Command and Conquer it made wargames hip for a while.
