X-com:Terror from the deep starts out with you selecting a place for a floating base. You must decide where to put it. I recomend around the sea of Japan or gulf of Mexico or Artic region. Then you start one of the best games there is. You can research new technology, manufacture things, build on to your bases as well as build new ones,and preform the following types of missions:
1. Crash alien subs
2. Investigate alien crash sites.
3. Stop alien terror sites.
4. Stop alien Artifact sites
5. Destroy Alien colonies
6. Destroy T'leth, the aliens base.
The X-com series is a very good series, and takes a long time. I have now beaten the game once, and am close to a second time. It took me over 200 hours to beat the game the first time. To research some
things, you need to research others. You start out with poor weapons, but can reseach others
It is a very realistic alien combat game. It was made by
Micropose.
Here is the scoop for some basic tips. I've had somewhere over 30 emails relating to X-com, and most of them have a similar basis. The best way to now get a hold of X-com is to go to an abandonware site, such as The Abandonware Search. Most of the rest have to do with research tips... Since I never did finish the research tree on my web site, I'm up to giving a few tips here.
Tips
1. First of all, DO NOT RESEARCH A LIVE DEEP ONE UNTIL YOU HAVE RESEACHED MAGNETIC NAVIGATION!!! There is a game bug, and if you do that, you CANNOT beat the game.
2. Second of all, it is often useful to have more than one squad of men. Towards the end of the game, it is quite common to have a very large surplus of cash. This is the time to get multiple ships. The reason for this is to have only your best guys at T'leth.
3. Keep your Lobsterman Commanders until one of 3 things happen, or better yet, they happen at the same time. If you have researched either the Hammerhead ship or The Ultimate Threat.
4. I do have maps of the alien ships and (Far less common), T'leth, but I can't scan them... Sorry. I'm looking for a way I can now, I'll upload them when I have the chance.
5. On T'leth part 2 just before going to part 3, SAVE!!! There is no save for T'leth part 3, so be warned.

I usually check my email every week or so, because it's not my main email that the forms are sent to, and I haven't had time to try to figure out anything different... But you will be answered, and it sometimes can pay for help, reguardless of the time.
