All your base are belong to them.
This is a month late but for those of you who haven't noticed, the guys at Ufoai.sourceforge.net have released the March updates for their freeware strategy game a while back. The current version that's being dissected AND reverse-engineered at their operating table now has base attack!
Let me say that again: UFO: Alien Invasion, the Quake 2-powered freeware strategy game that's trying to bring back the X-Com gameplay from the days of yore, now has BASE ATTACK!
Yep, according to this Internet celebrity, they are. They are now belong to them. (Image from the AYBABTU Wiki entry)>>> More details about this sci-fi turn-based freeware strategy game
Imagine, you've just captured several aliens and their doodads, and you're trying to figure out what makes the things tick, when suddenly the whine of anti-gravity drives erupt from somewhere above you and you realize that somewhere outside your base, lumbering Ortnoks and crafty Shevaar assault units are trying to storm in. You're caught in an alien base attack with you in one of PHALANX's modular research units with your pants down and with the 36-24-35 gorgeous orderly who just got hired!
Wait, that came out wrong again.
Anyway, you get the idea. Base attack ladies and gents! Base attack!
