The question about various incarnations of X-Com got me looking into the
fan-made projects.  I've downloaded the Xenocide alph dated April 2003.
Does it do anything other than demo the geoscape?  I couldn't seem to make
it do anything else and the readme didn't say anything about it.  Anyway, I
thought it was pretty darn cool, except when you zoom in really far the
landscape gets very blurry.  Aside from that, playing an X-Com game that
looks like that from the get go would be really nice. :)  Just want to know
if I'm missing something.

That's as far as Xenocide has come, so far.  Like all Open Source projects, it
is done in everyone's spare time.  If we are lucky, it might actually get
finished someday.

I have been trying to work on it for months, but I can never seem to find
enough time.

Coming from a guy who's single-handedly kept X-Com 1 & 2 going strong for
(at least) the past five years, works full-time, is currently learning
Italian so that he may warn his future in-laws to stay away from coastal
areas (or so I gather).... yeah, I see your point. Kudos to Scott, & plenty
of it.

Erm... has anybody mentioned EDF in this thread? Oh, rightio. Makes sense.
