The X-Files Game

The First of Many!

This was the first game ever to be entered into the MobyGames database.

Inaccurate Coordinates

In the game, the US Army has a denied operations base in Alaska, which is used for detaining and experimenting upon aliens, while using the presence of the Aurora Borealis to camouflage the flights of alien space vessels. The supposed longitude and latitude coordinates of the secret base are displayed on the screen on two occasions.

The base is obviously located on land, since you can see the outside and can walk around the inside, and after all, the troops that attack you are not floating in water wearing diving equipment. However, it is interesting that in reality, the specified coordinates are underwater, off of Dall Island in Alaska. In a recent census, Dall Island had a population of twenty people.

Music Reference

This game is referenced in the Eiffel 65 song, "My Console".

Platform Differences

The Playstation version comes on 4 CDs and has degraded graphics compared to the PC version.

The Windows PC-DVD release was bundled with different Pioneer DVD Slot-In drives (and maybe others) and never sold separately. The DVD Version includes English and French Audio. Only some Videos were upgraded to DVD-Quality, the rest was identical to the CD-ROM Version.
