UFO: Enemy Unknown is a turn-based strategy game developed by MicroProse for Microsoft MS-DOS and Amiga computers.
An .mcd file stores terrain data used by the game. It is part of the game's resource files and is read internally when the game loads and displays terrain.
The original MS-DOS version is available for purchase through Steam as a Windows package that runs via DOSBox.
An .mcd file is not normally opened directly. It should remain in the appropriate UFO: Enemy Unknown game directory so that the game can load it.
On modern Windows systems, the Steam release provides a DOSBox-based way to run the original MS-DOS game. The file itself is not intended to be opened by DOSBox or a regular document viewer.
There is no standard conversion for UFO: Enemy Unknown .mcd files. They are proprietary game resource files, so conversion to a general terrain or image format is not normally supported.
Keep the file in its original form for use with the game. Editing or extracting its contents requires a tool specifically designed for this game's data files.
