What OS?  What was the graphics style?  Anything you can remember?

The cover sounds like "Deadlock - Planetary Conquest", but I don't remember the gameplay being like you described. But then it must be at 15+ years since I played that game, and it wasn't a memorable game for me at that. So my memory is hazy to say the least (but I do remember the box cover. Probably still have it stashed somewhere amongst my old C64/Amiga games).

Edit - I'm also remembering another box/cover which featured a close-up shot of the yellow eye of a dark green scaly creature. No idea what game that was yet, but think it was a RPG, or maybe even Pn'C adventure. But this is likely going to bug me now, so thank you kindly for that  >:(

When I can't remember a title of a game I usually go check at gog.com they have a lot of old games.

Could it be UFO-enemy unknown? a quick search of "X-com like games" via google revealed that.
