This was ultimately a huge boon for the game. Originally intended as merely a sequel to Laser Squad, input from MicroProse led to a growing scope of the game, including both UFOPedia and the Geoscape, the strategic element in the game. Of course, in just few months, Jagged Alliance would blow my mind again but UFO was the first and, as they say, you always remember your first love. I had no idea what I was doing but the art style, the haunting soundscape and the fact that my soldiers could throw grenades – or more likely, blow themselves up with their own grenades, and boy was I sold. So I went over and fired up the demo for UFO: Enemy Unknown (known as X-COM: UFO Defense in the US). A friend told me that he had just gotten a CD-ROM full of different game demos. I still fondly remember that rainy day back in 1994.
