Unfortunately, the only other X-Com game that saw the light of day was a
first-person shooter which I believe is emminently forgettable, but someone
please correct me if I'm wrong.  I didn't pay any attention to it at all.
Enforcer, I think it was.

If you don't already have it, get XComutil.  It does wonders for UFO and
TFTD.

You might also want to check out a freeware project called UFO2000.  Here's
a link:  http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net/.  

Sadly, that's it as far as I know.  Well, there's Email X-Com but that's
strictly multiplayer.  I'm waiting for the new one, Aftermath, and hoping
it's worthy of the X-Com label.  While it's not aliens or X-Com, if you
like the squad-based tactical combat, you owe it to yourself to check out
Jagged Alliance 2.  My dream game is the X-Com setting with the JA2 combat
engine.  (Well, that and Master of Magic 2, but that's another story. :)

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I'll second that.  JA2 is a wonderful game.  It also has some resource
management like the X-COM games.  And there is a side mission with
some cool alien-type creatures if you play in sci-fi mode.

I recommend Fallout Tactics, if you can stand the pain. Fax me, but that
game is *hard*!

I also recommend X-Com Enforcer, a bizarre 3rd person Unrealised romp set in
about 1999. You can pick it up for about four
$/shekels/pounds/$/$/$/$/$/$/euros/roubles/  (d'no where you are, so I
thought I'd try and cover all bases ;) virtually anywhere, and it's good for
a laugh. No, really. It's got plot........!

I'll be quiet now. People will think I'm working for the cult.

I didn't mind it. Enforcer is just the game to load up when you want to watch
5-600 aliens die in the next 3 minutes.
