Though not as big of a shame as the mess that the corporate-sponsored world of X-COM had become by the time the dreg that was "Enforcer" hit the shelves. And part of me died when I saw the end result of UFO: Aftermath. That told me that X-COM truly was dead, and that Sectoids and Crysallids and Ethereals (as well as monsters from TFTD and Apoc) would only continue to live on in my memory.

Some newsreaders implement it :-) The convention is to denote a .sig with "-- " on a line - the space being seen as important, so it doesn't get triggered by a bit of ascii art or the like - and many newsreaders will display this in a different colour, or have a setting flag somewhere to not show it, or (in the case of slrn, which I'm using now) automatically strip it out of replies. One of the reasons this has fallen into disuse is a) that people often don't know how it works and b) many newsreaders only partially support it; Outlook Express, for example, automatically strips trailing spaces on lines, *after* it's been queued to send - you can't override it - with the effect that "[dash][dash][space][newline]" becomes "[dash][dash][newline]", which doesn't trigger the simple filter looking for the signature break. [There's an aftermarket patch for this - OEQuotefix, I think it's called - but that involves someone knowing enough to actively try to solve the problem] -- -Andrew Gray andrew.gray@dunelm.org.uk

Jon's notion is probably 'finished' == 'not developed anymore' or even 'finished' == 'dead'. So X-COM is finished according to this, but the other projects are not. Bateau is also right as he uses a different characteristic: is the game is playable or not. UFO2000 is definitely playable for example. And if we stop working on it, it will become 'finished' too :) -- Serge Semashko ufo2000 development team http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net

UFO2000 is definitely playable for example. Indeed UFO2000 is very playable - but not as an X-COM clone.

BECAUSE I WASNT SURE WHICH ONES WERE AND WHICH ONES WEREN'T SO I POSTED
THE WHOLE LOT GENIUS. AND you were saying it's good that there were 6
x-com games and that number will probably grow so I showed you that
