Provided, of course, that it isn't a hoax and doesn't get sued out of
existance before seeing the light of day.

Pity the site is in Russian, but luckily there are translators for that:

I hope they finish it as well.

Cool, I've never met any of the X-COM creators before, I must say you have
made a very nice game, I want to thank you for that :-)

Of course. They are russian. Russia hasn't created anything original in
70 years.

Are you talking about UFO2000? I'm sorry if you feel so. We did not
want to steal anything but just tried to give a second life to the
best game ever that is not officially developed anymore :(

We have plans for replacing graphics and everything not created by us
to become completely legal. But unfortunately the game can lose its
X-COM feeling just like LSN is a good game but definitely not X-COM.

We really do respect what you did in the past and what you are
developing currently. If I can do anything for you (provide a link
from ufo2000 homepage to LSN, update documentation to explicitly state
that the game is really using a large part of your work, ...), just
e-mail me.

I thought Julian was refering to a certain other publisher, starts with
'Micro' and ends in 'prose'...

No, I am not talking about UFO2000. I am talking about our original
publishers - Microprose - who forced us into handing over the intellectual
property rights to X-Com.

I wish you all the best with UFO2000, and have no problem with anything you
are doing.

A link would be nice, yes.
