Does anyone have any solid ideas about what they would like to see
in a remake of X-Com: UFO Defence?

Would a Windows based game make sense? Drop-down menus for all the
base info would be nice, & this could incorporate a Squad editor
with user customised squad settings saved. So you could have a
pre-saved craft+squad+equip config to deal with a Terror Mission
(which would, of course, be very different to the one used for
a downed small UFO on a scouting mission).

There seem to be three main views: Geoscape, Battle & Base/Info.
All of these could benefit from a Windows-type display.

Any ideas on resolution: the old DOS stuff is 640x480. I guess
a Windows release could have Small, Medium & Large screen
resolution options (like Stars!).

Hi Ian,

    As the situation stands, an employee of MPS Europe stated there is no
intention of a remake for the XCOM originals.

Please check out the thread 'UFO Remake' for the current situation, as I am
aware of it.

However, since I posted my response to Lee Friend, originator of the thread,
things may, or may not, be developing.

Thanks for contributing though, as the more people who add to the ideas,
means people are still interested, which ultimately means there is demand
for the game we want.
