This day just gets better and better, as we now have the brand new open source release version 0.9 of OpenXcom. But what is OpenXcom and why should you care? This is an open-source reimplementation of UFO: Enemy Uknown, the incredible Strategy game developed by Mythos/Microprose in which you take control of the X-Com organistion to fight off aliens invading earth. OpenXcom has given X-Com a real boost into the new generation but keeping the original feel, which the developer states :
The goal of this project is to bring back the tried and true feel of the original with none of the issues! Play the game natively without any need for emulators or fancy hacks, with none of the limitations and bugs that plagued the original. No more 80-item-limit, personnel limits, funding overflows, disconnected facilities, broken proximity grenades, floating soldiers, etc. There's even more to drool over with this release, so check out the release log and download!
