X-Com UFO defense

Hi, guys.

I was thinking about my student days and I remembered spending many, many hours shooting down aliens and researching technology in this great game:

Micropose X-Com UFO Defense.

Do you remember it?
Did Someone played it?
Did you liked it?

Someone nows if exists something like it for Linux? It should be cool!!!

I played it, I remember it and I still get the urge to play it every once and a while. I don't think anything like it exists for Linux, but I don't keep up on Linux games at all so I wouldn't be surprised if there was.

X-com is a great game......but not as good as Transport Tycoon.

That game has led to many an hour spent in front of my monitor. I don't know whether it is me getting older, but I find myself leaving the games of today and going back to the old games such as X-com, TT, Sensible Soccer, PGA Golf 486.......

Gameplay, thats what it's all about!

oh man, i find myself playing my original sega mastersystem (1984) all the time.. compared to the pc and newer console systems..

i actually have a sega mastersystem, still never been opened in original box, with everything wrapped still in mint condition. maybe it will be worth lots or i can donate to a museum some day...

There is an unrelated linux version (not x-com but the same turn based layout and graphics) in development.. I remember they were calling for beta testers a while ago.. can't remember anythign other than that..
