Stories
This
page contains an assortment of very excellent sci-fi stories
based on X-COM: UFO Defense. You may also download all of these
stories as one .zip file in their original text format by going
to the download page.
The first nine text files are, in my humble opinion, the best out
of the lot. They were written by Russ Brown back in 1994. The
plot throughout the story follows the main character, Shuji
Akira, as he and his fellow soldiers progress through the basic
story of X-COM itself, ending up on Mars.
| Saga 1 - Saving Wales |
| Saga 2 - The Better Part of Valor |
| Saga 3 - Japanese Monsters |
| Saga 4 - Mind Games |
| Saga 5 - House Call |
| Saga 6 - Big Fish |
| Saga 7 - Alien Abduction |
| Saga 8 - Exposure |
| Saga 9 - God of War |
These next three stories are written by different authors, and,
though they don't quite compare to Russ Brown's Saga, they're
worth the read. The first and third are an attempt by Microprose to to bridge
the gap between X-COM 1 and 2.
