OR....you could make an addon for the original XCOM..conceivable with
Microprose's blessing.  It could allow editing of many, many aspects of the
game, including the reseach tree...and offer a graphics makeover toboot,
along the lines of what the poeple did with the XMEN makeover of Quake..or
was that Doom?..I can't say I saw it (not my type of game).  I know I'd buy
it.
