Description
X-COM: Terror from the Deep is the follow-up to the successful resource management and tactical combat game X-COM: Enemy Unknown.
40 years have passed since X-COM defeated the aliens. But now, in the year of 2040, aliens begin to appear on the Earth again. This time the threat to humanity is coming from the depths of oceans.
Terror from the Deep is almost identical to the original X-COM game. The user interface, weapons, and aliens are all the same. The only difference is the adaptation of the aliens and weapons to the ocean environment. The game features both undersea and onland missions, and is significantly harder than its predecessor.

Trivia
"After completing UFO MicroProse wanted to do a quick follow up within six months. We said that this was not feasible, and if it were possible it would be little more than the same game with different graphics. Instead we started work on X-Com:Apocalypse, which was much more ambitious. Once UFO/X-Com was clearly known to be a success, MicroProse suggested that we license the code for them to develop their own sequel. The rest is history."
