EDIT for 1/29/2010:
X-Com Collection on Steam is $2.00 on Steam for this weekend.

ORIGINAL POST:
X-Com Collection on Steam.
This Steam Bundle includes the following five games:
X-Com: Apocalypse
X-Com: Enforcer
X-Com: Interceptor
X-Com: Terror from the Deep
X-Com: UFO Defense

That's such an awesome deal.  All you really need is Apocalypse and UFO Defense, but why not have it all?

There is no reason not to buy this.  Trust me, $4.99 is a steal.  X-COM: Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense is one of the greatest games to be released on PC, ever.  $4.99 would be a steal even just for that game.  IGN PC named it the best PC game of all time, and while I wouldn't go that far it does come in a close second to Starcraft for me.

Wow.  Even if Steam ends up raping your mother this is awesome.

[Quemaqua]

Fuck me I wish they would do that on Impulse.  Even at that price I'm not wasting the money on Steam, but... damn it.

So I just got this and I have no clue which game to play first. Is there an order to the games or should I just play UFO Defense right off the bat?

Edit: I just started UFO Defense and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. Gonna take a bit to figure everything out I guess.

[Quemaqua]

Yes, start with UFO Defense.  Terror from the Deep is the direct sequel.  That should keep you busy for nearly fucking forever.

Definitely invest the time to understand the games.  They aren't instantly accessible, but they aren't ridiculous, either.  There should be plenty of information out there on the internet if it doesn't come with good documentation.  It's one of the best games of all time, and no shortage of people who acknowledge it.
