Comment:
First I will mention the bundled Incoming game, the parent of Incoming Forces. It was an amazing game at the time when it came out and was lots of fun. You play as a human soldier defending Earth from aliens. However, it aged pretty badly, not only in the graphics sector but in OS compatibility. While I was able to run the game I always had some upper bar or other obstruction over the top of the game screen. On top of that the controls are terribly clunky especially with mouse so just go full keyboard control instead.

So perhaps try it out but move on to the much better sequel Incoming Forces where this time you are in control of an alien pilot. The story is not complex but somewhat cute and quite enjoyable. The range of vehicles expands, you get to control turrets, tanks, artillery and a range of air fighters. Missions are replayable separately and have a High Score system. The transition between vehicles is really smooth and controls are great. The graphics are a bit clunky but that does not matter in this case. However only 16 (mostly short) missions is not that much. Overall a fun shooter with a big range of vehicles and nice (although cheesy) story. Recommended.

*Note: If you have issues running Incoming Forces see THIS GUIDE for help.
