ahhh but guys.... you can have a good game thats buggy....
for my point -
When "X-COM: UFO Enemy Uknown" was relased for the PSx it shipped with huge memory leak hole and will constantly (and persistenly) crash after every 6th move when in a UFO mission on the largest UFO with your guys at the highest *height [lv4]* in the game.
you can try this at home, most of the time this is an unknown bug, unless that is your tactic to taking down the largest UFO by blaster-launching into the command center and working your way down (when the leader is killed / stunned all other enemy suffer MASSIVE moral loss - easy pickin's partner!)
Anyway... this fault is even prevailent when using my PSP playing the PSx version of XCOM - I even tried the US release.... same problem..
so... does this bug make it a bad game.... no... but it does mean it could be better - a lot better, the irony here is that there is NO API for the PSx other than a remedial SDK
so one could say that - because there no API this game is the worse for it? but personally I would say its just sloppy code - or better yet... a minor slip up.... or poor product testing... lol
(one day imma gonna team up with some crazy coder/artist and we shall program a PSx game =D.... one day....)
Anyway... whistfull thoughts aside... this error is NOT in XCOM: Terror from the Deep.
Personally I love the PSx version, its relatively quick in both loading / and turn-taking but its bigest WIN for me is the music score.... its fantastic!
I even put this on in the back ground when I play the Amiga/PC version of the game.
However the game has its drawback... memory card saving is limmited to one save per card and it takes forever - this has been known to crash as well at this point.
so a great game... that sadly in places poorly written.
doesn't stop me liking it though =D
