Dosbox + xcom 2 = works

Game works. I'm guessing xcom ufo defense will have same performance.

Getting dosbox
open up terminal and type in
sudo yum install dosbox

mounting
mount a /home/user/Downlo~1/(your game directory here)

linux is case sensitive, beware.

copy your games to the download directory

Enjoy!

 

Actually, I was thinking about trying the old Xcom (1,2,3) games on DosBox too, but just didn't get around to do it (my linpus file system got corrupted, which gave me a good reason tot ry XP and Ubuntu).
I am glad to hear that it works, because Xcom is one of my favorite games.

 

I will have to give this a go, I never could get XCOM: UFO DEFENSE running on Dosbox in Windows. There really is no modern game like the XCOM games (the 3D UFO games are fairly terrible, I got them all on sale for $10).

 

For UFO 1 on windows, try: http://www.smksoftware.ru/index.php?page=200&lang=en (windows version).
It's a remake made by some Russians, and it works on a PocketPC as well, which is very nice

 

most versions of UFO 1 out there, are windows version. It was tricky for me to find the DOS version. Maybe check for compatibility issues?

 

Windows verison of UFO 1? Is there such a thing?

 

yes there is. I think the version out there, is the collecter's edition.

When I run it under dosbox, I get an error saying it can't be run under dos.

 

you used to be able to download a free copy of xcom1 from

http://www.xcomufo.com/

but this seems to have been removed recently, although I do have a copy somewhere, and I know it ran properly under dosbox for windows

when I find it, I'm gonna give it a go under linpus

 

found my dos copy of xcom1

works fine under linpus + dosbox 0.72

am very happy
