When and where did the devs say this?

Oh, man, X-Com.
... did they ever fix that bug where you'd start off on Really Hard, save the game, come back and it was on Really Easy?
I'd totally pay $5.00 to get it on Steam if that was fixed.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

poor *******.Its usually times that like that prompt me to turn the game off and do something else.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

I do think there were some fan-made patches for it. I'd have to search for it again though, because I can't be sure anymore. If there was one and it's still floating around the net that'd fix it just fine; the Steam system doesn't check the game to see if it's different, it just runs the built-in DOSBox.
Either way, it's still worth it, it's hard to get the old game installed right from the old CD, and that's assuming you still have it. At $5 per game, that's a quick $10 for the two best games of the series, or if you're a die hard fan like me, get the entire series, from X-Com: UFO Defense to the fair SpaceSim Interceptor to the questionable-but-still-fair-grade-mindless-fun of Enforcer for $15 total. Considering the entire series would be $25 separately, it's a good deal.

It made sense to me, afterall, these were supposed to be the best soldiers the world could provide, but they had the physical stamina of an overweight gamer and the aiming skills of a blind man!
