Well there are certainly many X-Com inspired games in the works, although respecting the rights of the original developers/publishers they're not 1:1 copies just with better graphics et al.


There's UFO 2000 - Multiplayer UFO/X-Com basically.

UFO: Extraterrestrials - A commercial UFO/X-Com inspired game due out next month. Although it's been delayed about 300 times already.

UFO: Alien Invasion - Quake 2 engine powered game I believe, has some promise but far from complete.

Project Xenocide: Shows much promise but not a great deal of progress at the moment.


In the meantime, classic X-Com games are still worth playing, although I still find X-Com no matter what version is buggy as hell. (And bloomin' hard - step off squad craft... bang, explosive round fired into ship killing entire team!) Terror from the Deep is less buggy but a bit less atmospheric.


By the way what's everyone's shortest X-Com game? Mine was within about 20 days. I just happened to place my base about 6 pixels from a UFO base. After one interception, the Aliens sent a ship to attack my base. Most of my men already dead, not enough guns, and bang, game over! Wasn't even on a stupidly hard difficulty level either.
