It's been over 2 decades by now but I still fucking hate Poppers and Hyperworms. Seriously, fuck those things.
At the start of a new game I used to equip as many agents as I could with Megapol Autocannons loaded with explosive ammo. Missions inside munitions factories were incredibly entertaining, the owners (Marsec, I think?) were always really mad at me for ruining the place because a single stray shot could set the whole floor on fire, and there were a lot of stray shots because why would I take aimed shots? My guy has a handheld Gatling gun and EXPLOSIVE AMMUNITION!
Also I never actually finished the game, because after a while you can research Toxiguns, which are amazingly effective against aliens, but they don't cause explosions or incredible civilian casualties, and that's just boring. They're basically hi-tech blowguns.
I solved the problem of "one last alien" by equippling people with unlimited ammo alien guns and sawing through all of the building supports until the whole thing came down
One of the first games I've ever played when we got our first PC was X-COM: Apocalypse, published by Microprose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InUQ1TebMGk
