If you wanna play this game nowdays do it with OpenXCom Extended. It has a very simple installer that will discover your TFtD installation. You can play vanilla (original game) or with ton of mods improving graphics, music, giving you new weapons, maps etc.

I reached the end game but the experience was far worse than the first game. The biggest flaw is that the game forces you to use a fighter and rogue tactics - if you choose another ship there is no chance of winning. In a fighter I was destroying everything on my path, when I tried to use a bigger (and slower) ship with the best gear and turrets it was destroyed in mere seconds - it simply was to slow (it was like a flying garbage truck, not some kind of destroyer class). There are no "cool big ships" in this game and that is why it doesn't deserve more than 3 stars (maybe even 2). I want to have a choice - fast, nimble and dangerous fighter or slow, armored and packed with heavy weaponry capital ship. This game doesn't give you such choice.
