The SURPRISE of walking around a corner and BANG there's an alien in front of you... In the dark, late at night, with the creepy music... That's what that game was all about.

That is the best/latest possible sequel (there have been maaaany attempted) and it just came out recently, few months back I think.. Look at the reader ratings at that site.. they gave it a 7.4, but the readers gave it a 9.6 over 1,120 votes.. insane. I might have to check it out! |
Nice... I'll have to check it out, myself. Been waiting for a decent sequel ever since I heard TFTD was coming out.
I don't remember what gameplay issues you're talking about... well, there was a waypoint missile problem that was easily worked around, I think... but I do remember is being sorely disappointed at TFTD thinking "it's the same damn game with different skins" and then even being more disappointed on that next version that came out... what was it? Apocolypse?
