Toa of Nerds Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 When the Alien Conquest line first came out, I thought it was cool and funny. Funny-looking Aliens abducting cows and unsuspecting reporters was great, but when a group of earthlings formed a special team that used cutting edge technology to defeat the aliens at alien saucer landing spots, my inner geek meter started going crazy. Why? Because this sounded all-too-familiar to a certain tactical turn-based strategy game called X-COM:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Enemy_UnknownHave there ever been any other Lego lines that have seemed similarly inspired by video games?-don't touch my pocket protector Quote Three great comedies at one low, low price....NOTHING!

Sumiki Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm fairly sure that'd be considered a coincidence. Maybe a LEGO employee had played that game and it indirectly, somehow, affected the line? Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
