X-COM to XCOM: 20 Years of Turn-Based Strategy, Alien-Killing, and DREAD

Learn how the original X-COM came together, how the game’s publisher wanted to change the game, and how Firaxis took on the task of modernizing the game’s terrifying choices and consequences. This was also Jake’s first time meeting his design idol, so excuse the nerves, and embrace the cuteness. Subscribe for more: htt
