Does anyone have any solid ideas about what they would like to see
in a remake of X-Com: UFO Defence?

Would a Windows based game make sense? Drop-down menus for all the
base info would be nice, & this could incorporate a Squad editor
with user customised squad settings saved. So you could have a
pre-saved craft+squad+equip config to deal with a Terror Mission
(which would, of course, be very different to the one used for
a downed small UFO on a scouting mission).

There seem to be three main views: Geoscape, Battle & Base/Info.
All of these could benefit from a Windows-type display.

Any ideas on resolution: the old DOS stuff is 640x480. I guess
a Windows release could have Small, Medium & Large screen
resolution options (like Stars!).
