Key Features and System Requirements
It's the year 2067, and Earth's resources are all but depleted. To avert the
slow decay of civilization, the major corporations of Earth have turned to
the stars -- an area of space known as the Frontier -- to find the raw
materials they so desperately need.
Unfortunately, some old friends were already in the neighborhood when
the corporations arrived, and they have plans of their own for the
resources of the Frontier...plans that could very well mean the end of the
human race!
In X-COM INTERCEPTOR, you take command of an elite force that has
been deployed to meet the aliens on their own turf in the depths of space.
This time, you'll be engaging your alien foes from the cockpit of a
cutting-edge space fighter, fighting ship-to-ship as you protect Earth's
corporations and X-Com installations. But your job doesn't end there. As
X-Com's commander in the Frontier, you must maintain your financial
standing, manage your bases and increase X-Com's presence in the area.
Juggle these assignments and guide the research of alien weapons and
technology, before it's too late!
