I played UFO:Enemy Unknown on my 386 for 2 year. 2 years! That's pretty frequent play as well. I had it out most weeks, probably 2 or 3 times a week for an hour or more. Obviously that got less and less towards the end and after I discovered the DEBUG code hacks to give supplies of ammo, elerium and other cool things, but still .... amazing game. Would go down as my no.1 game of all time. It's still playable now if you can get it to run.
Definitely a game I've always wanted to remake, but it's damn hard to bring up to date and remake in high quality 3D due to the fact that the entire world was fully destructable (almost everything - every wall, door, box, piece of floor, person, tree, hedge, fence). I'll give it a go at some point, no doubt. I've tried a few times, and lost interest cos I knew my version would never capture all the highs of the original, but I'll work on a closely similar concept again someday.
Long live XCOM!
