I still remember how stressed out I would get on terror missions when chrysalids would come charging out of the shadows and turn 2 of my best troopers into zombies. The game is legendary period. It wasn't a rehash, it defined an entire genre.
That's why Xcom rewarded patience... I had a fucking army of superhuman troopers, so I'd waste about 80% of chrysalids before they got near enough. Happy days.

I did enjoy TFTD more than UFOD though. I must have been the only one in the world who did.
