Its good too see what a fine newsgroup alt.games.x-com is becoming.
The comments are fantastic, the ideas knee trembling, and now we know that
software groups also take a look into what we say, all our thoughts and
ideas are not in vain.
A few things appealed to me while reading everyones Ideas. The first
was mentioned by Solice about an E-MAIL game of x-com. (ps Solice what is
Battle.net) It sure would be good to get this going ? But i know it would
require a hell of a lot of work, and certian questions would need answering
like:
Who would host the game,
would we buy groups of / or single soldiers
How much money would each player start of with
would the e-mail games be single player or multi player (ie: could i or
solice / detonate / keith team up for a mission)
Would the rules stay based on the original x-com theme, or would we accept
Ideas already metioned in the newsgroup ie: concerning research and the
introduction of aliens actually being on our side, maybe through
brainwashing, or alien diplomacy, or just through cloning ( ps, Jacob I
baptize thou DOC ).
There are just so many questions to be answered. Then agian someone
could possibly make a completely simple one and shock us all. The second
thing that caught my attention was that of a x-com webpage ( I cant remember
who mentioned it) but does anyone now were one is, If there is not one
would anyone consider doing one. I know that a lot of software companys
actually encourage this because its free advertising for them .As long as
you get permission before hand , because of copyright laws.
Also whats that about x-com being remade, REMADE! Which one ,
Enemy, TFTD, or A- please let us know .
