A vague memory of a computer game I once played suddenly sprang to mind. Can anyone ID it?

All I remember is that part of it involved you selecting from different types of weapons to destroy what I **think** were aliens, though could've been buildings for all I can remember. You could choose between different types of ammunition, which included incendiary and explosive.

I remember a vertical listing on the screen containing pictures of various types of missles/ammo and you had to choose one.

You also had to equip parts of your body with different items, like weapons and tools. There were movement sensors etc and you could drag and drop them to a visual diagram of a human body.

I remember it being a 3d-platformer with an top-down isometric view.

Any ideas?

This is going back a bit, but not THAT long ago. Maybe 10 years?

I also remember you could choose between different types of shot with varying degress of accuracy, with the most accurate taking up more than one turn. It is also a turn-based game.

XCOM it is! UFO: Enemy Unknown, to be precise.

I know some of my, errr, "memories" were, errr, "slightly" inaccurate, but hey at least someone got it.

Time for some gaming nostalgia...
